Intraoperative aberrometry versus preoperative biometry for intraocular lens power selection in short eyes.

Purpose: To compare the accuracy of preoperative biometry-based formulas to intraoperative aberrometry (IA) with respect to predicting refractive outcomes after cataract surgery in short eyes.

Setting: Private practice and community-based ambulatory surgery center.

Design: Retrospective consecutive case series.

Intraoperative aberrometry versus preoperative biometry for intraocular lens power selection in axial myopia.

Purpose: To compare the accuracy of intraoperative wavefront aberrometry (ORA) and the Hill-radial basis function (RBF) formula with other formulas based on preoperative biometry in predicting residual refractive error after cataract surgery in eyes with axial myopia.

Setting: Private practice, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, USA.

Design: Retrospective consecutive case series.

Surgical specialty and outcomes for carotid endarterectomy: evidence from the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program.

Background: Carotid endarterectomy (CEA) has been performed since the 1950s and remains one of the most common surgical procedures in the United States. The procedure is performed by cardiothoracic, general, neurologic, and vascular surgeons. This study uses data from the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) to examine the outcomes after CEA when performed by general or vascular surgeons.
