To examine whether new cases of retinal artery occlusion (RAO) or vein (RVO) increased during the coronavirus 209 (COVID-19) pandemic.This was a retrospective cohort study patients visiting retina clinics with diagnosis in two time periods: between January 1, 2019, and February 29, 2020 (the pre-COVID-19 period), March 2020, December 31, COVID-19 period). The key outcome percentage newly diagnosed central RAO (CRAO), branch (BRAO), RVO (CRVO), (BRVO) seen each period.The population included...
Purpose: This study analyzed the degree and timing of proptosis regression after teprotumumab therapy. Methods: A retrospective all patients who completed 8 infusions at 1 institution from January 1, 2020 to December 31, 2022. Change in was assessed millimeters percentages compared with immediate post-treatment pretreatment proptosis. Results: Of 119 data (mean follow-up 10.56 months, range: 3.05–25.08), 208 (87.39%) eyes 110 had initial improvement. 78 multiple visits, 102 (65.38%) 59...
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: To provide an updated estimate of incidence and prevalence the foremost retinal diseases in U.S. PATIENTS METHODS: Retrospective study Vestrum Health Database evaluating eyes with diagnoses wet or dry age-related macular degeneration (AMD), diabetic edema (DME), retinopathy (DR), branch central vein occlusion (BRVO; CRVO) from January 2014 to December 2019 across 58 retina practices. RESULTS: Of 3,086,791 examined, 490,881 (15.9%) had AMD, 294,041 (9.5%) 270,703...
Purpose To study the effect of statin exposure on progression from non-exudative to exudative age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Methods Retrospective cohort commercially insured patients diagnosed with AMD (n = 231,888) 2007 2015. Time-to-event analysis association between lipid-lowering medications and time diagnosis was conducted. Outcome measures included AMD, indicated by codes for or procedural intravitreal injections. Results In year before after first diagnosis, 11,330 were...
To report female representation within the American Society of Ophthalmic Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (ASOPRS) at all levels career achievement over 50 years.Data were extrapolated from published ASOPRS directories 50th anniversary booklet. Fellowship, membership, leadership, awards data evaluated 5 decades. Comparisons made between first second 25 years, proportions early late achievements, time to progression males females.During decade, 5.6% fellows (n = 2), which rose 6.6% 8),...
Abstract To describe a database of longitudinally graded telemedicine retinal images to be used as comparator for future studies assessing grader recall bias and ability detect typical progression (e.g. International Classification Retinopathy Prematurity (ICROP) stages) well incremental changes in retinopathy prematurity (ROP). Cohort comprised from 84 eyes 42 patients who were sequentially screened ROP over 6 consecutive weeks program then followed vascular maturation or treatment, disease...
Purpose Despite the high prevalence, treatment challenges, and significant impact of eyelid retraction on vision quality life among patients with thyroid eye disease, effects teprotumumab are not fully understood. This study evaluated change in upper position after teprotumumab.
Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) is characterized by abnormal activation of the cascade, which leads to simultaneous hypercoagulation and excessive bleeding. While it typically occurs in systemic diseases, such as infection, inflammation, obstetric complications, malignancy, can rarely manifest postoperatively. This case report describes a patient who presented with prolonged, refractory bleeding after ectropion repair via lateral tarsal strip procedure. Due inability control...
Abstract Purpose To compare neonatal eye screening using the red reflex test (RRT) versus wide‐field digital imaging (WFDI) system. Methods Prospective cohort study. Newborns ( n = 380, 760 eyes) in Maternity Ward of Irmandade Santa Casa de Misericórdia São Paulo hospital from May to July 2014 underwent RRT by a paediatrician and WFDI performed authors. Wide‐field images were analysed Validity paediatrician’s was assessed unweighted kappa [κ] statistic, sensitivity, specificity, positive...
Pulmonary atresia with ventricular septal defect and major aortopulmonary collateral arteries is a complex form of congenital heart disease. Midline unifocalization has been developed for the surgical treatment this condition. There are 3 outcome measures that determine long-term success: patients alive, have achieved complete repair (i.e. closure), relatively low right ventricle-to-aortic pressure ratio (<0.45). However, to date, no studies combined these analyze likelihood achieving an...
Abstract Purpose of Review Neurotrophic keratopathy (NK) is a degenerative corneal disease characterized by decreased sensibility and impaired healing. In this article, we review surgical techniques for neurotization (CN) novel medical therapies the treatment NK. Recent Findings recent decades, there has been paradigm shift in strategies New minimally invasive direct indirect CN approaches have demonstrated efficacy at improving best-corrected visual acuity central sensation while decreasing...
Abstract Identifying and planning treatment for retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) using telemedicine is becoming increasingly ubiquitous, necessitating a grading system to help caretakers at-risk infants gauge disease severity. The modified ROP Activity Scale (mROP-ActS) factors zone, stage, plus into its scoring system, addressing the need assessing ROP’s totality binocular burden via indirect ophthalmoscopy. However, there an unmet alternative score which could facilitate identification...
Purpose: This work evaluates trends in achievement of women the retina field, through an analysis gender representation American Society Retina Specialists (ASRS). Methods: retrospective, longitudinal study spans 1983 to 2020. Historical data classified by male or female were collected from ASRS's overall membership, board directors and officers, recipients 4 society awards. The proportion each benchmark held was compared with prior decades since founding ASRS using Fisher’s exact test....
In Brief Microsurgical resection with microvascular clipping and intraoperative digital subtraction angiography can successfully achieve complete orbital arteriovenous malformation while sparing vision.
Background In 2017, the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education announced all ophthalmology residency programs would provide a combined transitional or joint preliminary program first postgraduate year (PGY-1) residents, with mandatory implementation by 2023. Purpose This study aimed to survey directors, 2 (PGY-2) residents who were part of first, official PGY-1 year, and 3 (PGY-3) resident prior integration evaluate characteristics perspectives on year. Methods A national,...
Prior studies of teprotumumab for thyroid eye disease report proptosis reduction in millimetres, which does not fully capture teprotumumab’s clinical effect since a given number millimetres change can be variable impact depending on patients’ degree pre-treatment proptosis. In this retrospective study analysing as percentage among 119 patients, 208 (87.4%) eyes 110 patients had averaging 14.4% (range 2.2–40.5%) their proptosis, or 3.3 mm 0.5–10.0 mm). Reporting provides better understanding impact.
