Article Synopsis
- * While there is a lot of research on refractive surgery in general, there's a lack of studies focused specifically on patients with high to extreme myopia, which this study aims to address.
- * Results show that these patients had excellent surgical outcomes with few complications, with average postoperative vision being 20/20 for LASIK and ICL patients, and 20/25 for PRK patients.
Objective: Plasma energy ablation vaporizes tissues similar to carbon dioxide laser ablation, but is not hindered by the unique hazards and regulation of laser technology. We aimed to evaluate the complication rate and effectiveness of plasma versus laser ablation in the treatment of vulvovaginal high-grade squamous intra-epithelial lesions (HSIL).
Methods: We performed a retrospective cohort study of women treated with plasma or carbon dioxide laser ablation for histologically proven HSIL of the vulva or vagina from January 2014 to October 2019 at a single institution.
Background: Social determinants of health are known to contribute to disparities in health outcomes. Routine screening for basic social needs is not a part of standard care; however, the association of those needs with increased healthcare utilization and poor compliance with guideline-directed care is well established.
Objective: In this study, we aimed to assess the prevalence of basic social resource needs identified through a quality improvement initiative in a gynecologic oncology outpatient clinic.
