Purpose
To provide relative citation ratio (RCR) benchmark data for the field of glaucoma.
Design
Cross-sectional bibliometric analysis.
Subjects
Fellowship-trained glaucoma faculty at Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education-accredited institutions.
Methods
Glaucoma faculty were individually indexed using the National Institutes of Health (NIH) iCite website. Publication count, mean RCR score, and weighted RCR score were collected for each author between May and August 2023 and included PubMed-listed articles from 1980 to 2023. Data were compared by sex, career duration, academic rank, and acquisition of a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD).
Main Outcome Measures
Total number of publications, mean RCR value, and weighted RCR value.
Results
Five hundred twenty-six academic glaucoma specialists from 113 institutions were indexed. These physicians produced highly impactful research with a median publication count of 13 (interquartile range [IQR] 4–38), median RCR of 1.41 (IQR 0.97–1.98), and median weighted RCR of 16.89 (4.80–63.39). Academic rank, career duration, and having a PhD were associated with increased publication count, mean RCR, and weighted RCR. Publication count and weighted RCR differed significantly by sex; however, no difference was observed with mean RCR.
Conclusions
Current academic glaucoma specialists have high mean RCR values relative to the NIH standard RCR value of 1. This benchmark data serve as a more accurate gauge of research impact within the glaucoma community and can be used to inform self, institutional, and departmental evaluations. Additionally, the mean RCR may provide an accurate metric for quantifying research productivity among historically underrepresented groups that are disadvantaged by time-dependent factors such as number of publications.

目的:比较独立初级Xen45凝胶支架(Xen)与小梁切除术(Trab)治疗青光眼的安全性、有效性和失败的基线预测因素:设计:回顾性研究:随访至少12个月并接受Xen或Trab术后丝裂霉素-C辅助治疗的受试者:主要结果测量:主要结果是 12 个月时的成功率,定义为眼压较基线降低≥ 20%,且眼压≤ 15mmHg、18mmHg 和 21mmHg 临界值,有(合格)或无(完全)药物治疗,且未进行二次青光眼手术。多变量混合效应考克斯回归模型用于确定每个队列中失败的风险因素:596名受试者中有701只眼睛(Xen组,308只;Trab组,393只)入选,Xen组与Trab组相比,基线眼压明显更高(22.4 mmHg vs 19.9 mmHg,p < 0.001),基线用药明显更少(2.9 mmHg vs 3.4 mmHg,p 结论:Xen组与Trab组相比,基线用药明显更少(2.9 mmHg vs 3.4 mmHg,p < 0.001):在所有完全成功定义中,Trab组在12个月时的完全成功率明显高于Xen组,而Xen组的术后低张力率明显低于Trab组。亚裔和基线使用口服乙酰唑胺与 Xen 的更大失败率相关,而前列腺素类似物与 Trab 患者的更大失败率相关。这些成功和失败的基线预测因素有助于指导接受手术干预的患者选择结膜下微创青光眼手术。

Purpose
To investigate associations between statin use and glaucoma in the 2017 to 2022 All of Us (AoU) Research Program.
Design
Cross-sectional, population-based.
Participants
79 742 adult participants aged ≥40 years with hyperlipidemia and with electronic health record (EHR) data in the AoU database.
Methods
Hyperlipidemia, glaucoma status, and statin use were defined by diagnoses and medication information in EHR data collected by AoU. Logistic regression analysis was performed to evaluate the association between statin use and glaucoma likelihood. Logistic regression modeling was used to examine associations between glaucoma and all covariates included in adjusted analysis. Serum low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) was used to assess hyperlipidemia severity. Analyses stratified by LDL-C level and age were performed.
Main Outcome Measures
Any glaucoma as defined by International Classification of Diseases codes found in EHR data.
Results
Of 79 742 individuals with hyperlipidemia in AoU, there were 6365 (8.0%) statin users. Statin use was associated with increased glaucoma prevalence when compared with statin nonuse (adjusted odds ratio [aOR]: 1.13, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.01–1.26). Higher serum levels of LDL-C were associated with increased odds of glaucoma (aOR: 1.003, 95% CI: 1.003, 1.004). Statin users had significantly higher LDL-C levels compared to nonusers (144.9 mg/dL versus 136.3 mg/dL, P value < 0.001). Analysis stratified by LDL-C identified positive associations between statin use and prevalence of glaucoma among those with optimal (aOR = 1.39, 95% CI = 1.05–1.82) and high (aOR = 1.37, 95% CI = 1.09–1.70) LDL-C levels. Age-stratified analysis showed a positive association between statin use and prevalence of glaucoma in individuals aged 60 to 69 years (aOR = 1.28, 95% CI = 1.05–1.56).
Conclusions
Statin use was associated with increased glaucoma likelihood in the overall adult AoU population with hyperlipidemia, in individuals with optimal or high LDL-C levels, and in individuals 60 to 69 years old. Findings suggest that statin use may be an independent risk factor for glaucoma, which may furthermore be affected by one’s lipid profile and age.
