Purpose: To investigate the types of strabismus surgeries performed and the reoperation rate in patients with Duane retraction syndrome (DRS).
Design: Retrospective cohort analysis.
Participants: An insurance claims data set was used to identify patients diagnosed with DRS between 2007 and 2021.
Purpose: To determine the cumulative incidence of strabismus surgery after pediatric cataract surgery and identify the associated risk factors.
Design: US population-based insurance claims retrospective cohort study.
Participants: Patients ≤ 18 years old who underwent cataract surgery in 2 large databases: Optum Clinformatics Data Mart (2003-2021) and IBM MarketScan (2007-2016).
Delayed or Forgone Healthcare Due to COVID-19 among Adults with Vision Impairment.

October 2023
Introduction: Decreased public transit, no‑visitor policies, and other restrictions to reduce the spread of COVID‑19 may limit healthcare access for vision impaired adults. This study aimed to assess rates of healthcare delayed or forgone due to COVID‑19 among adults with low vision.
Methods: Data were analyzed from the 2021 National Health Interview Survey, a representative sample of US adults.
Purpose: To determine the cumulative incidence of retinal detachment (RD) repair following pediatric cataract surgery and identify the associated risk factors.
Design: US population-based insurance claims retrospective cohort study.
Participants: Patients ≤ 18 years old who underwent cataract surgery in 2 large databases: Optum Clinformatics (2003-2021) and IBM MarketScan (2007-2016).
Purpose: To examine risk factors for strabismus surgery reoperation in patients with thyroid eye disease (TED).
Design: Retrospective cohort study.
Methods: An insurance claims database was used to identify patients with TED who underwent at least one strabismus operation between 2003 and 2019.

- Racial and ethnic disparities in breast cancer mortality are increasing, yet genomic studies often overlook diverse populations, highlighting a gap in research.
- The study analyzed 194 breast cancer patients from Nigeria alongside 1,037 patients from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), revealing that Nigerian tumors have distinct genomic features indicating more aggressive cancer biology.
- Key findings include higher rates of specific mutations in Nigerian patients and the identification of novel genes linked to breast cancer, potentially paving the way for tailored treatments for underrepresented groups.
