Prcis: In addition to standard automated perimetry tests, contrast sensitivity testing and macular analyses may predict changes in the quality of life in patients at different stages of glaucoma.
Purpose: To examine the relationship between functional and structural tests of visual function and the 25-item National Eye Institute-Visual Function Questionnaire (NEI-VFQ-25) and the 36-item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36) in patients with different stages of glaucoma.
Materials And Methods: Standard automated perimetry tests, optical coherence tomography scans, and contrast sensitivity (CS) testing were prospectively performed in 160 patients with glaucoma.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate reading performance in patients with mild to moderate primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) and explore its correlation with visual field measurements, microperimetry, and optical coherence tomography (OCT) parameters.
- Researchers compared the reading abilities of 30 POAG patients to 21 age-matched controls using various testing methods, and assessed the relationship between reading metrics and glaucoma severity indicators.
- Results showed significant links between maximum reading speed (MRS) and specific OCT measurements, with worse reading performance in patients’ poorer eye, while other visual field measures did not correlate with reading ability.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MISC) related to COVID-19, focusing on comparing clinical and laboratory characteristics of children hospitalized in ICU versus those who were not.
- Conducted from June 2021 to January 2022, the observational study included 601 patients, with 157 requiring ICU care, revealing significant differences in demographics, lab results, and disease features.
- Key findings showed that older age groups and higher levels of certain inflammatory markers increased the likelihood of ICU admission, highlighting the severe impact of MISC on children's health.
