Determinants of the risk of intraoperative complications in phacoemulsification among patients with pseudoexfoliation.

Purpose: The purpose of the study was to study the relationship between pseudoexfoliation (PES) and other predictors in the development of complications in cataract surgery by phacoemulsification in patients with PES.

Methods: A retrospective cohort study of patients undergoing cataract surgery by phacoemulsification in the health area of Cee in northwestern Spain during the 2-year period from 2009 to 2010. Capsule rupture, choroidal hemorrhage, and vitreous loss were included as complications and intraoperative nucleus or lens dislocation as the independent variable.

Proposed model to determine satisfaction with computerised provider order entry systems in a long-stay hospital.

Objectives: Computerised provider order entry (CPOE) systems reduce medication errors, but are not without dangers. Knowing satisfaction with the CPOE helps to improve its implementation. Our objective was to determine the satisfaction of healthcare professionals with the CPOE in a long-stay hospital and to propose a single model.

Evaluation of formaldehyde as an ocular irritant: a systematic review and Meta-analysis.

Objective: The aim of this study was to use meta-regression to evaluate the safety of the maximum allowable dose of formaldehyde in terms of eye irritation symptoms.

Methods: We performed a systematic review of literature published in the PubMed, Embase, Lilacs, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library databases. We selected clinical trials, cohort studies, and case-control studies that compared eye irritation between patients exposed and not exposed to formaldehyde.

Effectiveness of Intracameral Phenylephrine in Achieving Mydriasis and Reducing Complications During Phacoemulsification: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Purpose: To compare the effectiveness of intracameral phenylephrine and topical mydriatics in achieving mydriasis and protecting against complications during phacoemulsification.

Methods: A systematic search of the literature comparing the mydriatic effect and surgical safety profile of intracameral phenylephrine and topical mydriatics in phacoemulsification was conducted in the Medline, Embase, Lilacs, Web of Science, Cochrane, ClinicalTrials.gov , and Teseo databases.

Intraocular lens dislocation in pseudoexfoliation: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Purpose: To evaluate the impact of pseudoexfoliation syndrome on intraocular lens (IOL) dislocation after phacoemulsification cataract surgery and explore possible associations related to surgical technique.

Methods: We systematically searched the MEDLINE, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane, and Lilacs databases and grey literature sources and identified (on March 1, 2016) 14 cohort and case-control studies comparing IOL dislocation in patients with and without pseudoexfoliation syndrome who had undergone phacoemulsification. Study quality was assessed using the STROBE scale.
