Article Synopsis
- Cataract surgery is the most common surgery done to help people see better, but it can sometimes lead to a serious problem called retinal detachment (RD), which can harm eyesight.
- A big study looked at over 5 million patients and found that about 37,000 of them experienced RD after surgery, which is about 0.66 cases for every 100 patients.
- The study also showed that men are more likely to get RD after cataract surgery than women.
Aim: To examine the incidence of ocular abnormalities in children with atopic dermatitis (AD) in Saudi Arabia and its association with the severity of AD.
Methods: This is a cross-sectional study on 50 children with AD who were between 5 and 16 years of age. The severity of AD was evaluated using the SCORing Atopic Dermatitis (SCORAD) index.
Background: Early detection of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) in preterm infants is critical, especially with advancements in neonatal care and improved survival rates. However, a balance should be found between not missing any ROP requiring treatment and minimizing workload, saving resources, and reducing unnecessary examinations to fragile neonates.
Objective: Ascertain whether our current inclusion criteria in screening ROP could be modified to ≤1250 g (while keeping the gestational age at ≤30 6/7 weeks) to reduce the number of screened babies without missing any type I ROP requiring treatment.
