Development of machine learning models to predict posterior capsule rupture based on the EUREQUO registry.

Purpose: To evaluate the performance of different probabilistic classifiers to predict posterior capsule rupture (PCR) prior to cataract surgery.

Methods: Three probabilistic classifiers were constructed to estimate the probability of PCR: a Bayesian network (BN), logistic regression (LR) model, and multi-layer perceptron (MLP) network. The classifiers were trained on a sample of 2 853 376 surgeries reported to the European Registry of Quality Outcomes for Cataract and Refractive Surgery (EUREQUO) between 2008 and 2018.

[Corneal perforation due to 'lost' contact lenses].

An 87-year-old woman with Alzheimer's disease was referred to our eye clinic with a large corneal perforation of her right eye. On further examination a total of 15 contact lenses were found under the upper eyelid of her right eye; several lenses were also found in her left eye. During further evaluation we learned that our patient had experienced severe, recurrent and painful blepharoconjunctivitis for the past 3 years, for which she had consulted several ophthalmologists and other medical practitioners.

The European registry of quality outcomes for cataract and refractive surgery (EUREQUO): a database study of trends in volumes, surgical techniques and outcomes of refractive surgery.

Background: A European web-based registry for refractive surgery was established in 2008; The European Registry of Quality Outcomes for Cataract and Refractive Surgery (EUREQUO). The aim of the registry was to improve treatment and standards of care for refractive surgery. Further aims were to offer a tool for benchmarking by establishing a reference database and for surgeons to enter and analyze their own outcomes.

The changing pattern of cataract surgery indications: a 5-year study of 2 cataract surgery databases.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to describe changes over time in the indications and outcomes of cataract surgery and to discuss optimal timing for the surgery.

Design: Database study.

Participants: Patients who had undergone cataract extraction in the Netherlands, Sweden, or Malaysia from 2008 through 2012.

European registry for quality improvement in cataract surgery.

Purpose: A project aimed at creating a multi-national database for cataract and refractive surgery was initiated in 2008. The database was intended for learning and clinical improvement, not supervision. The project was co-funded by the European Union, under the Executive Agency for Health and Consumers and the European Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgeons (ESCRS) and supported by 11 national societies for cataract and refractive surgery.

Design: Database study.

Evidence-based guidelines for cataract surgery: guidelines based on data in the European Registry of Quality Outcomes for Cataract and Refractive Surgery database.

In March 2008, the European Registry of Quality Outcomes for Cataract and Refractive Surgery (EUREQUO) commenced. This 3-year project was cofunded by the European Union (EU) and the European Society of Cataract & Refractive Surgeons (ESCRS). The ESCRS became the lead partner in the project with 11 national societies as associated partners.
