Purpose: To explore patient and surgeon characteristics for open globe injury repairs (OGRs) and rates of subsequent operations.

Methods: Using a retrospective cohort design, eyes of patients ≥18 years who underwent OGR among 100% Medicare Fee-For-Service dataset from 2011 to 2020 were included. Current Procedural Terminology (CPT®) codes were used to identify OGR. Patient characteristics were reported, and surgeon characteristics were stratified by sex and compared using Chi-square and Student's t-test. Overall rate of subsequent operations was reported, and trends of subsequent operations over time were assessed using Cochrane-Armitage trend test.

Results: A total of 16,576 patients with a mean age of 73.89 years (±12.89) underwent OGR. Most patients were White (79.68%, n = 13,207) and 49.44% (n = 8196) were female. More patients resided in a rural area (18.71%; n = 3102) relative to surgeon location (4.51%, n = 748; p < 0.001). A total of 5,898 surgeons performed these OGRs with 77.33% (n = 4,561) male and 22.67% (n = 1,337) female surgeons. Male surgeons performed most of the OGRs (76.35%, n = 12,655; p < 0.001). On average, a surgeon performed a single OGR annually (Mean: 1.08 ± 1.04; Range: 0.11-40). Among all OGRs, 51% (8,452/16,576) had ≥1 subsequent operations in median 29 days (IQR: 10-86), which increased during the last decade from 47% to 51% (p = 0.008).

Conclusion: Geographic and workforce disparities in ocular trauma warrant future investigation. Further studies can also assess the reasons for increase in the incidence of subsequent procedures after OGR over time.

目的:探讨开球损伤修补术(OGR)的患者和外科医生特征以及后续手术率:采用回顾性队列设计,纳入2011年至2020年期间100%医疗保险收费服务数据集中接受OGR手术的≥18岁患者的眼球。采用当前程序术语 (CPT®) 代码来识别 OGR。报告了患者特征,并根据性别对外科医生特征进行了分层,使用Chi-square和Student's t检验进行了比较。报告了后续手术的总体比率,并使用 Cochrane-Armitage 趋势检验评估了后续手术随时间变化的趋势:共有 16,576 名患者接受了 OGR,平均年龄为 73.89 岁(±12.89)。大多数患者为白人(79.68%,n = 13207),49.44%(n = 8196)为女性。相对于外科医生所在地(4.51%,n = 748;p n = 4561)的男性和 22.67% (n = 1337)的女性,更多患者居住在农村地区(18.71%;n = 3102)。男性外科医生完成了大部分的 OGRs(76.35%,n = 12,655; p p = 0.008):结论:眼外伤中的地域和劳动力差异值得在未来进行调查。进一步的研究还可以评估眼外伤后后续手术的发生率随时间推移而增加的原因。

Purpose: This retrospective observational study of health claims data seeks to quantify the prolonged impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on DR screening rates in central Massachusetts.

Methods: Retrospective claims data from the UMass Memorial Managed Care Network were collected for the years of 2018-2022. Comprehensive and DR screening exams were identified using CPT codes for patients with diabetes. Data were derived from claims submitted by the UMass Memorial Managed Care network to four insurance programs via CPT billing code for comprehensive and DR screening exams for patients with diabetes. Over one million claims for the years 01/2018-05/2022 were collected.

Results: We found a significant decrease in unadjusted DR screening rates in the post-lockdown period compared to the pre-COVID-19 period (p < 0.001). Bivariate analysis revealed a 15.1% decrease in weekly DR screenings during post-lockdown (RR = 0.849, 95% CI = 0.811, 0.888). After adjusting for seasonal variation, the mean weekly DR screening rate was 12% lower in the post-lockdown period, with a 95% CI of 6.1% to 17.5% decrease (Adjusted RR = 0.880, 95% CI = 0.825, 0.939 Stratified analysis based on patient status revealed a significant decrease in adjusted DR screening rates for established patients post-lockdown compared to pre-pandemic (p < 0.0001), while no significant difference was observed for new patients (p > 0.05).

Conclusion: The impact of COVID-19 on DR screening and treatment rates persisted even after the resumption of non-essential care services, with a discrepancy between new and established patients. Future research should work to identify and overcome the barriers to DR screening.

Purpose: To explore potential risk factors for the development of neovascular glaucoma (NVG) in central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO) over a two-year intensive follow-up period.

Methods: This study reviewed 1545 patients with CRVO between 2005 and 2019 at Taipei Veterans General Hospital. Inclusion was restricted to (1) patients with acute CRVO within 3 months; (2) patients with ocular neovascularization at initial presentation (3) patients had not received any treatment at the time of CRVO; (4) at least bimonthly follow-up schedule over the course of 2 years. The included patients were screened for potential risk factors for developing NVG and assessed with Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and Cox regression model.

Results: Among the included 123 patients, the cumulative probability of developing NVG was 26.8% (33/123 cases) in overall follow-up period. The mean interval between the onset of CRVO and NVG was 507 days. Neither macular edema nor central macular thickness at baseline was correlated with the development of NVG (p =.104 and .25, respectively). Patients with diabetes mellitus (DM), older age, and poor vision independently played significant risk factors for developing NVG after controlling other covariates. (p =.034, .001, and .013, respectively).

Conclusions: Patients presenting with CRVO who have comorbidities such as DM, older age, and worse VA warrant closer attention and intensive follow-up for the development of NVG. Additionally, the statistical analysis indicated that the presence of macular edema, increased central macular thickness, CV events, history of glaucoma, and early PRP within 3 months had no significant impact on the likelihood of developing NVG.

目的:探讨视网膜中央静脉闭塞(CRVO)患者在两年强化随访期间发生新生血管性青光眼(NVG)的潜在风险因素:本研究回顾了 2005 年至 2019 年期间在台北荣民总医院就诊的 1545 名 CRVO 患者。纳入患者仅限于:(1)3 个月内患有急性 CRVO 的患者;(2)初次发病时有眼部新生血管的患者;(3)在 CRVO 发生时未接受任何治疗的患者;(4)在两年内至少每两个月随访一次的患者。对纳入的患者进行了NVG潜在风险因素筛查,并采用Kaplan-Meier生存分析和Cox回归模型进行了评估:结果:在纳入的 123 例患者中,在整个随访期间发生 NVG 的累积概率为 26.8%(33/123 例)。CRVO 和 NVG 发病的平均间隔时间为 507 天。基线时的黄斑水肿和黄斑中心厚度均与 NVG 的发生无关(p =.104 和 .25)。在控制了其他协变量之后,糖尿病(DM)患者、高龄患者和视力不佳的患者都是发生 NVG 的重要风险因素。(结论:结论:合并有 DM、高龄和视力减退等并发症的 CRVO 患者应密切关注并加强随访,以防发生 NVG。此外,统计分析表明,黄斑水肿、黄斑中心厚度增加、CV 事件、青光眼病史以及 3 个月内的早期 PRP 对罹患 NVG 的可能性没有显著影响。

Purpose: Traumatic globe injury is classified into closed-globe and open-globe injury (OGI); OGI leads to a worse prognosis. We aimed to identify causative activities and prognostic factors of OGI in a metropolitan city in South Korea.

Methods: This retrospective observational study used a prospective eye-injury registry conducted in Daegu, South Korea, between 1 August 2016 and 31 July 2021. We identified epidemiology and visual outcomes of OGI at four tertiary hospitals. Those with the best visual acuity lower than counting fingers at the 6-month follow-up were considered to have poor visual outcome.

Results: Of 9,208 patients with eye injuries, 282 had OGI. Most OGI patients were male (261, 92.6%), with the largest proportion in their 50s (76, 27.0%). The most frequent causative activity was mowing (59, 20.9%), and poor visual outcome was most seen in assault (7, 87.5%) and sports activity (9, 81.8%). Hammering, metal work, and sports activity were prevalent in those under 30, and mowing was most prevalent in those in their 50s (16, 21.1%) and 60s (29, 40.3%). In the multivariable logistic regression analysis, OGI related to traffic accident and sports activity were presented poor prognosis (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 13.259, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.202-146.205 for traffic accident; aOR 6.801, 95% CI 1.064-43.487 for sports activity).

Conclusion: We need to develop advanced vehicle safety equipment, implement public education promoting seat belt usage and hazards of OGI, establish eye protection standards for key causal activities, and provide eye protection equipment for sports activities and mowing.

目的:创伤性球部损伤分为闭合性球部损伤和开放性球部损伤(OGI);OGI 会导致较差的预后。我们旨在确定韩国一个大都市中 OGI 的致病活动和预后因素:这项回顾性观察研究使用了 2016 年 8 月 1 日至 2021 年 7 月 31 日期间在韩国大邱进行的前瞻性眼伤登记。我们确定了四家三级医院眼外伤的流行病学和视力结果。随访6个月时最佳视力低于数指的患者被认为视力不良:在9208名眼外伤患者中,有282人患有OGI。大多数 OGI 患者为男性(261 人,占 92.6%),其中 50 多岁的比例最大(76 人,占 27.0%)。最常见的致病活动是割草(59 人,占 20.9%),视力不佳最常见于袭击(7 人,占 87.5%)和体育活动(9 人,占 81.8%)。锤击、金属加工和体育活动在 30 岁以下的人群中最常见,而割草在 50 多岁(16,21.1%)和 60 多岁(29,40.3%)的人群中最常见。在多变量逻辑回归分析中,与交通事故和体育活动相关的 OGI 预后较差(交通事故的调整赔率比 [aOR] 为 13.259,95% 置信区间 [CI] 为 1.202-146.205;体育活动的调整赔率比 [aOR] 为 6.801,95% 置信区间 [CI] 为 1.064-43.487):结论:我们需要开发先进的车辆安全设备,开展宣传教育,推广安全带的使用和 OGI 的危害,制定关键诱因活动的护眼标准,并为体育活动和割草提供护眼设备。

Purpose: This study aims to evaluate the epidemiological patterns, treatment strategies, and survival outcomes of conjunctival malignancies in Germany between 2009 and 2019.

Methods: A total of 1,532 cases were analyzed, with the crude incidence rate calculated. The survival rates were investigated using life tables and Cox regression analysis.

Results: The overall incidence rate was 1.7 per million. Incidence rates varied across age groups, peaking in the 75+ age group. Carcinomas (43%), melanomas (30%), and lymphomas (20%), were the most prevalent malignancies. Of the total cases with reported treatment, surgical intervention was undertaken in 64.5% of the patients. The 5-year overall survival rates were 90.4% for lymphomas, 73.8% for melanomas, and 72.9% for carcinomas. Age at diagnosis emerged as a significant prognostic factor in the Cox regression analysis.

Conclusions: This study provides the first population-based incidence data on conjunctival malignancies in Germany, noting a generally low incidence with survival rates comparable to other regions. The findings underscore the importance of consistent reporting and further research into risk factors for a deeper understanding of these malignancies. The study calls for improved reporting systems and further investigations into genetic factors and targeted prevention strategies for high-risk groups.

目的:本研究旨在评估2009年至2019年间德国结膜恶性肿瘤的流行病学模式、治疗策略和生存结果:方法:共分析了 1,532 个病例,并计算了粗发病率。采用生命表和 Cox 回归分析法研究了存活率:结果:总发病率为 1.7/百万。不同年龄组的发病率各不相同,75 岁以上年龄组的发病率最高。癌症(43%)、黑色素瘤(30%)和淋巴瘤(20%)是最常见的恶性肿瘤。在所有报告治疗的病例中,64.5%的患者接受了手术治疗。淋巴瘤的 5 年总生存率为 90.4%,黑色素瘤为 73.8%,癌为 72.9%。在考克斯回归分析中,确诊年龄是一个重要的预后因素:这项研究首次提供了德国结膜恶性肿瘤的人群发病率数据,指出德国结膜恶性肿瘤的发病率普遍较低,存活率与其他地区相当。研究结果强调了持续报告和进一步研究风险因素对深入了解这些恶性肿瘤的重要性。研究呼吁改进报告系统,进一步调查遗传因素,并为高危人群制定有针对性的预防策略。

Purpose: This study investigated the relationship between near work hours and myopia in Korean adults.

Methods: We used data from the 2021 Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Associations between near work time, physical activity, and myopia were assessed using chi-square tests and multiple logistic regression analyses.

Results: The overall prevalence of myopia was 60.2% in adults aged 19-59 years. The prevalence of myopia was 46.2% for individuals who used smart devices for less than one hour per day, while it was 68.0% for those who used smart devices for more than four hours. In the multiple logistic regression analysis, the odds ratio (OR) for myopia was significantly higher among individuals using smart devices for 3 hours (OR = 1.55, 95% CI = 1.08-2.23) or more than 4 hours (OR = 1.75, 95% CI = 1.27-2.42), compared to users with less than 1 hour of usage. Regarding sitting time, the OR for myopia was significantly higher in individuals who sat for more than 12 hours (OR = 1.66, 95% CI = 1.05-2.61) compared to those who sat less than 4 hours.

Conclusion: This study found that near work and sitting times were positively associated with myopia. Given the high prevalence of myopia and its implications for serious eye diseases, it is essential to implement measures to manage myopia. Considering the increased near work hours resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, it is necessary to adopt supplementary measures, such as ensuring sufficient rest time for the eyes and adjusting the brightness of lights, to improve eye health.

目的:本研究调查了韩国成年人近距离工作时间与近视之间的关系:我们使用了 2021 年韩国国民健康与营养调查的数据。方法:我们使用了 2021 年韩国国民健康与营养调查的数据,并使用卡方检验和多元逻辑回归分析评估了近距离工作时间、体育锻炼和近视之间的关系:结果:在 19-59 岁的成年人中,近视的总体患病率为 60.2%。每天使用智能设备时间少于一小时者的近视率为 46.2%,而使用智能设备时间超过四小时者的近视率为 68.0%。在多元逻辑回归分析中,与使用智能设备少于 1 小时的用户相比,使用智能设备 3 小时(OR = 1.55,95% CI = 1.08-2.23)或 4 小时以上(OR = 1.75,95% CI = 1.27-2.42)的用户患近视的几率比(OR)明显更高。就坐的时间而言,与坐的时间少于 4 小时的人相比,坐的时间超过 12 小时的人患近视的 OR 值明显更高(OR = 1.66,95% CI = 1.05-2.61):本研究发现,近距离工作和久坐时间与近视呈正相关。鉴于近视的高发病率及其对严重眼疾的影响,有必要采取措施控制近视。考虑到 COVID-19 大流行导致近距离工作时间增加,有必要采取辅助措施,如确保眼睛有足够的休息时间和调整灯光亮度,以改善眼睛健康。

Purpose: Amidst the global aging population and an increasing prevalence of visual impairment across all age groups, this study aims to investigate the current state of research on sleep health in visually impaired populations.

Methods: A scoping review was conducted to synthesize the existing literature on sleep health and visual impairment. We employed conceptual mapping to identify key research topics, analyzing data from four databases: PubMed (n = 290), CINAHL (n = 81), Scopus (n = 117), and PsycInfo (n = 96). A total of 83 peer-reviewed articles, published from 1977 to August 2023, were included in the review.

Results: Our analysis identified 11 distinct eye health conditions including blindness, glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, low vision, cataract, retinitis pigmentosa, macular degeneration, optic neuropathy, visual field defects, ocular hypertension, and retinal vein occlusion. Additionally, 8 major sleep problems were recognized: abnormal sleep duration, daytime sleepiness, insomnia, Non-24-Hour Sleep Wake Disorder, sleep apnea, sleep disorders, sleep disturbances, and sleep disordered breathing. The dominant research themes were (1) poor sleep quality in individuals with visual impairments and ophthalmic diseases, (2) high prevalence of sleep issues in patients with ophthalmic diseases, (3) sleep apnea in patients with ophthalmic conditions, and (4) circadian rhythm disruptions in blind individuals.

Conclusion: This review highlights research gaps that, when addressed, could greatly enhance our comprehension of the interplay between visual impairment and sleep health. Bridging these gaps promises to lead to more holistic care strategies, potentially improving vision functioning and rehabilitation outcomes for individuals with visual impairments.

目的:随着全球人口老龄化和各年龄段视力障碍患病率的增加,本研究旨在调查视力障碍人群睡眠健康的研究现状:方法:我们对现有的有关睡眠健康和视力障碍的文献进行了范围界定。我们采用概念图来确定关键研究课题,并分析了四个数据库中的数据:PubMed (n = 290)、CINAHL (n = 81)、Scopus (n = 117) 和 PsycInfo (n = 96)。共有 83 篇发表于 1977 年至 2023 年 8 月的同行评议文章被纳入审查范围:我们的分析确定了 11 种不同的眼部健康状况,包括失明、青光眼、糖尿病视网膜病变、低视力、白内障、视网膜色素变性、黄斑变性、视神经病变、视野缺损、眼压过高和视网膜静脉闭塞。此外,还确认了 8 种主要睡眠问题:睡眠时间异常、白天嗜睡、失眠、非 24 小时睡眠唤醒障碍、睡眠呼吸暂停、睡眠障碍、睡眠干扰和睡眠呼吸紊乱。主要的研究主题包括:(1)视力障碍和眼科疾病患者的睡眠质量差;(2)眼科疾病患者的睡眠问题高发率;(3)眼科疾病患者的睡眠呼吸暂停;以及(4)盲人的昼夜节律紊乱:本综述强调了研究方面的不足,如果能加以解决,将大大提高我们对视力障碍与睡眠健康之间相互作用的理解。缩小这些差距有望带来更全面的护理策略,从而改善视力障碍患者的视力功能和康复效果。

Purpose: To elicit associations between vision difficulties and physical or psychosocial challenges in children in the United States.

Methods: Children aged 2-17 years old from the 2021 National Health Interview Survey with data pertaining to vision difficulty were included in our retrospective, population-based analysis. Our primary aim was investigating physical and psychosocial challenges as predictors of vision difficulty. Logistic regression models were performed on Stata version 17.0 (StataCorp LLC, College Station, Texas). Analyses were accompanied by an odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI).

Results: A total of 7,373 children had data pertaining to their level of vision difficulty and were included in our sample. In our multivariable analysis, children with a good/fair (OR = 1.84, 95% CI = [1.31, 2.60], p < 0.01), or poor (OR = 5.08, 95% CI = [1.61, 16.04], p < 0.01) general health status had higher odds of vision difficulty relative to children with an excellent/very good health status. Furthermore, children with difficulties hearing (OR = 8.67, 95% CI = [5.25, 14.31], p < 0.01), communicating (OR = 1.96, 95% CI = [1.18, 3.25], p < 0.01), learning (OR = 1.93, 95% CI = [1.27, 2.93], p < 0.01), and making friends (OR = 1.94, 95% CI = [1.12, 3.36], p = 0.02) had higher odds of vision difficulty. Nonetheless, the following factors were only predictors of vision difficulty in our univariable analysis: requiring equipment for mobility (p < 0.01), experiencing anxiety (p < 0.01), and experiencing depression (p < 0.01).

Conclusion: Several factors pertaining to physical and psychosocial challenges in children are associated with vision difficulty. Future research should further explore potential causal links between vision difficulty and physical or psychosocial factors to aid in coordinating public health efforts dedicated to vision health equity.

Purpose: The limited evidence for cardiovascular disease (CVD) among adults with vision impairment (VI) has often been from developed countries using self-reported VI. This study evaluated the association of objectively-determined VI with the risk of CVD among adults from low-, middle-, and high-income countries.

Methods: Data were from 32,268 adults aged 30-74 years without CVD or blindness from China, Ghana, India, Mexico, Russian Federation, South Africa, and the United States during 2007-2010. VI and severe VI was defined as presenting visual acuity worse than 6/18, and 6/60, respectively. The Framingham risk algorithm was used to estimate the risk for incident CVD. Logistic regression was used to calculate odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals.

Results: The mean age of participants was 46.4 years, with half of them being women (49.3%). The age-adjusted prevalence of VI ranged from 1.1% (United States) to 14.2% (South Africa) while severe VI ranged from 0.4% (United States) to 4.5% (Ghana). In models adjusting for country, sociodemographic factors, waist girth, healthcare use, activities of daily living and other health-related factors, VI was associated with CVD risk ≥ 10% (OR = 1.69, 95% CI: 1.22-2.36). This observed association was largely consistent across countries (p = 0.119). The observed CVD risk was similar among adults with moderate or severe VI (OR = 0.95, 95% CI: 0.50-1.83). CVD risk was higher among adults with VI who were <65 years old (OR = 1.89, 95% CI: 1.36-2.63) or were employed (OR = 2.24, 95% CI: 1.58-3.16).

Conlusions: This cross-national study shows that individuals with VI are at high risk for future CVD.

目的:视力障碍(VI)成人心血管疾病(CVD)的有限证据通常来自发达国家,使用的是自我报告的视力。本研究评估了低收入、中等收入和高收入国家成年人中客观测定的视力障碍与心血管疾病风险之间的关系:数据来自 2007-2010 年间中国、加纳、印度、墨西哥、俄罗斯联邦、南非和美国的 32,268 名年龄在 30-74 岁之间、无心血管疾病或失明的成年人。六度弱视和严重六度弱视的定义分别为视力低于6/18和6/60。弗雷明汉风险算法用于估算心血管疾病的发病风险。逻辑回归用于计算几率比(OR)和 95% 的置信区间:参与者的平均年龄为 46.4 岁,其中一半为女性(49.3%)。经年龄调整后,VI 患病率从 1.1%(美国)到 14.2%(南非)不等,而严重 VI 患病率从 0.4%(美国)到 4.5%(加纳)不等。在对国家、社会人口因素、腰围、医疗保健使用情况、日常生活活动和其他健康相关因素进行调整的模型中,VI 与心血管疾病风险≥ 10%相关(OR = 1.69,95% CI:1.22-2.36)。在不同国家观察到的这种相关性基本一致(P = 0.119)。观察到的心血管疾病风险在中度或重度 VI 的成人中相似(OR = 0.95,95% CI:0.50-1.83)。患有心血管疾病的成年人中,凝血功能障碍患者的心血管疾病风险更高:这项跨国研究表明,VI 患者未来患心血管疾病的风险很高。

Reducing the Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Retinopathy of Prematurity Screening: Successful Strategies Learnt from a Multi-Center Tele-Medicine Program in India. 减少 COVID-19 大流行对早产儿视网膜病变筛查的影响:从印度多中心远程医疗项目中学到的成功策略》。
IF 1.8 4区 医学 Q3 OPHTHALMOLOGY Pub Date : 2024-06-01 Epub Date: 2023-08-30 DOI: 10.1080/09286586.2023.2251147

Purpose: Control of blindness due to retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) requires timely screening and treatment within 48-72 h. Anticipating that the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic would disrupt ROP services, we devised strategies ''on-the''-go"" to ameliorate this possiblity. We describe the successful outcomes of this approach in preventing infant blindness during the pandemic.

Methods: Data on the number of preemies recruited, screened and treated in the Karnataka Internet-assisted Diagnosis of Retinopathy of Prematurity (KIDROP) program were collected in a retrospective (2019, interval 1) - prospective (2020, interval 2) manner. We summarize 10 key strategies that were developed as we faced logistic, operational and implementation challenges. These included pragmatic methods of enhancing enrolment, transporting for screening and ensuring timely treatment in the outreach.

Results: The total number of ROP screening sessions was 20,598 (7,197 new) and 14,371 (5,773 new) during interval 1 and 2 respectively. Of these, 166 (2.3%) and 157 (2.7%) infants required treatment during interval 1 and 2 respectively. All infants needing treatment during the COVID period, were treated on time which was possible due to successful implementation of the 'on-the-go' strategies throughout the state of Karnataka. The fiscal equivalent of the blindness prevented during this period is USD 15.6 million.

Conclusion: The greater decline in the number of ROP screening episodes in neonatal units in government hospitals was because several were converted to 'COVID only" hospitals. KIDROP's multi-zonal, decentralized strategy, which uses non-physician-based imaging in a telemedicine network, ensured that essential ROP services continued even during the lockdown.

目的:控制早产儿视网膜病变(ROP)导致的失明需要在 48-72 小时内进行及时筛查和治疗。我们介绍了这种方法在大流行期间成功预防婴儿失明的成果:方法:我们以回顾性(2019 年,间隔期 1)-前瞻性(2020 年,间隔期 2)的方式收集了卡纳塔克邦早产儿视网膜病变互联网辅助诊断(KIDROP)计划招募、筛查和治疗的早产儿人数数据。我们总结了在面临后勤、运营和实施挑战时制定的 10 项关键策略。这些策略包括在外联活动中加强登记、运送筛查对象和确保及时治疗的务实方法:在间隔期 1 和间隔期 2,分别共进行了 20,598 次(7,197 例新增)和 14,371 次(5,773 例新增)视网膜病变筛查。其中,166 名婴儿(2.3%)和 157 名婴儿(2.7%)需要在间隔期 1 和间隔期 2 接受治疗。由于在卡纳塔克邦各地成功实施了 "随到随治 "策略,所有在 COVID 期间需要治疗的婴儿都得到了及时治疗。在此期间,预防失明的财政收入相当于 1,560 万美元:结论:政府医院新生儿科的早产儿视网膜病变筛查次数下降幅度较大,原因是其中几家医院已转为 "仅开展 COVID "的医院。KIDROP 的多区分散战略在远程医疗网络中使用了非医生成像技术,确保了即使在封锁期间也能继续提供必要的 ROP 服务。
