Mashup Score: 1Patient barriers and facilitators for making environmental... : Optometry and Vision Science - 6 day(s) ago
ur purpose was to investigate the barriers to and facilitators of use of these modifications by patients with DED in the United States and how their use may be impacted by socioeconomic status (SES). METHODS Using Qualtrics, we conducted an anonymous online survey of adults with DED living in the United States in August to September 2022. Patients were identified through the Dry Eye Foundation, Sjögren’s Foundation, and a DED clinic in Colorado. We used an established index for classifying respondent SES based on education, household income, and employment. Outcomes included use of environmental and behavioral modifications and barriers to and facilitators of their use. RESULTS We included 754 respondents (SES: 382 low, 275 high, and 97 unclear). Most were aged 18 to 49 years (67%), female (68%), and White (76%) and reported dealing with DED for ≤5 years (67%). The most frequent modifications were taking breaks to rest eyes (68%), increasing water intake (68%), and using hot/cold compr

ents with intermediate AMD with a minimum follow-up of 24 months were included. The atrophy was quantified using fundus autofluorescence, also considering the directionality of atrophy as centrifugal and centripetal progression rates. Main outcome measures were geographic atrophy (GA) progression rate (mm2/year) and square root-transformation GA (mm2/year). Results: The best-fit model for GA (OR: 1.81, p<0.001) and square root-transformation GA (OR: 1.36, p<0.001) areas revealed that the main baseline predictor was the presence of an RPE-basal lamina-(BL)-Bruch’s membrane (BrM) splitting. Large drusen at baseline appeared protective for the GA area lesion expansion over time (OR: 0.52, p<0.001) when considered with other confounders. Conclusion: A thin RPE-BL-BrM splitting without evidence of neovascularization on OCT angiography likely represents an OCT signature for late basal laminar deposits. Identifying this phenotype can help identify individuals with a higher risk of rapid progr

Mashup Score: 1Knowledge about age-related eye diseases in the general population in Germany - BMC Public Health - 12 day(s) ago
Background With a rising prevalence of age-related eye diseases, prevention and early diagnosis of these conditions are key goals of public eye health. Disease-related knowledge in the general public supports these goals but there is little data available. Thus, we have assessed knowledge of cataract, glaucoma, age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and diabetic eye disease in the German adult general population in a cross-sectional study and identified target groups for health education interventions. Methods Knowledge assessment content was identified based on a literature review, expert input, and a list of items was generated after a qualitative selection process. The resulting 16-item instrument (4 items per condition) was administered to 1,008 participants from a survey panel, demographically representative of the adult German population. Test properties were evaluated based on a Rasch model and multiple correspondence analysis (MCA). Binary-logistic regression analysis was perfo
