Article Synopsis
- The study focused on understanding the corneal asphericity coefficient (Q value) among Saudi individuals to improve intraocular lens selection and correct spherical aberration during surgeries.
- It analyzed 500 healthy participants aged 17 to 58, using a specialized camera to measure Q values across different corneal quadrants and surfaces, while considering factors like age, sex, and refractive error.
- Results showed that the mean Q values were negative overall, indicating a prolate shape, with variations observed across quadrants and a significant trend of becoming less prolate as participants aged, but no notable differences between genders.
Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the nonfatal drowning experience, risk factors, intrahospital assessment and postincidental outcomes for children admitted to King Fahd Hospital of the University, AlKhobar, Saudi Arabia, over a 10-year period.
Methods: Children up to the age of 14 years who were admitted with the diagnosis of nonfatal drowning from July 2005 to June 2015 were included. Data regarding demographics, timing, season and location of drowning, presence of an assigned lifeguard, duration of submersion and transport to hospital, cardiopulmonary resuscitation, initial Glasgow Coma Scale, temperature, pH, blood sugar level, total hospital stay, and discharge status were extrapolated, and their effects on the patient's outcome analyzed.
