Purpose: To investigate the clinical characteristics of fall-related ocular trauma in patients over 90 years of age.
Methods: Retrospective, medical record reviews. Patients over the age of 90 years treated in a tertiary center with fall-related ocular trauma were included in the study.
Background: It is generally believed that optic disc drusen (ODD) change only over long periods of time. Because, in our experience, this does not apply to younger patients, we investigated the natural course of changes of the peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) in patients with ODD.
Methods: In this retrospective study, 40 eyes with and 40 eyes without ODD were examined, both cohorts were equally subdivided into younger subjects (20 years or younger) and older subjects (21 years or older).
Background: Ophthalmologists' letters and medical reports play an important role in the interdisciplinary cooperation between general practitioner, internist, diabetologist and ophthalmologist providing means of information and communication for the avoidance, delay and treatment of diabetic retinopathy (DR).
Methods: In a cross-sectional study (NCT02311504) the ophthalmologicsts' letters and other clinical parameters were extracted from electronic patient records (EPR) of 810 patients with diabetes. Files were classified into different categories of formats, tested with respect to topicality and content structure and analyzed according to the topic complex of the national treatment guidelines for retinal complications.
