Article Synopsis
- Late-onset Stargardt disease is a form of Stargardt disease that appears after the age of 45, characterized by specific symptoms and slower progression compared to other forms, such as geographic atrophy.
- The study involved 71 patients, focusing on their medical history, age at onset, visual acuity, and retinal changes using advanced imaging techniques.
- Results indicated a median onset age of 55 years, with a common genetic variant found in many patients, and noted a gradual decline in visual acuity and atrophy growth over time.
Purpose: To assess the incidence of Stargardt disease (STGD1) and to evaluate demographics of incident cases.
Methods: For this retrospective cohort study, demographic, clinical and genetic data of patients with a clinical diagnosis of STGD1 were registered between September 2010 and January 2020 in a nationwide disease registry. Annual incidence (2014-2018) and point prevalence (2018) were assessed on the basis of this registry.
Objective: To investigate the lifelong health effects, costs, and cost-effectiveness of a quality improvement collaborative focusing on improving diabetes management in an integrated care setting.
Study Design And Methods: Economic evaluation from a healthcare perspective with lifetime horizon alongside a nonrandomized, controlled, before-after study in the Netherlands. Analyses were based on 1861 diabetes patients in 6 intervention and 9 control regions, representing 37 general practices and 13 out-patient clinics.
