Geographic disparities and surgical trends of strabismus surgery among Medicare beneficiaries (2016-2021)
This study highlights the disparity between the prevalence of adult strabismus in the United States and the limited number of surgeons performing adult strabismus surgery on Medicare beneficiaries. Only 12.2% of pediatric ophthalmologists billed Medicare for adult strabismus procedures during the study period. Additionally, geographic disparities of surgeons performing adult strabismus surgery were evident, with drastically different surgeon-to-patient ratios by state. Overall, the study raises concerns about the adequacy of the surgeon supply to meet the demand for adult strabismus cases.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
