Three-year incidence of Nd:YAG capsulotomy and posterior capsule opacification and its relationship to monofocal acrylic IOL biomaterial: a UK Real World Evidence study.

Purpose: To evaluate 3-year incidence of Nd:YAG capsulotomy and PCO and compare the effect of different IOL materials.

Methods: Data were retrospectively collected from seven UK ophthalmology clinics using Medisoft electronic medical records. Eyes from patients ≥65 years undergoing cataract surgery with implantation of acrylic monofocal IOLs during 2010-2013 and 3-year follow-up were analysed.

Excess Mortality in Patients with Multiple Sclerosis Starts at 20 Years from Clinical Onset: Data from a Large-Scale French Observational Study.

Background: Recent studies in multiple sclerosis (MS) showed longer survival times from clinical onset than older hospital-based series. However estimated median time ranges widely, from 24 to 45 years, which makes huge difference for patients as this neurological disease mainly starts around age 20 to 40. Precise and up-to-date reference data about mortality in MS are crucial for patients and neurologists, but unavailable yet in France.
