Cataract surgery may decrease mortality risk in womenLinnehan, RobertOcular Surgery News
Despite the high rate of anesthesia care for cataract surgery compared with the other procedures, we found that systemic complications, including postprocedure hospitalizations and 7-day mortality, were more common among patients undergoing the other low-risk procedures, even when compared with cataract ...
In addition, the relatively low estimate in low-income economies may be due in part to the association between conditions causing blindness and high under 5 mortality rates in these regions. For example, the survival rate of children with blinding conditions such as vitamin A deficiency is lower...
There was a 34% reduction in the rate of falls overall (rate ratio, 0.66; 95% CI, 0.45-0.96). A total of 16 patients sustained fractures following cataract surgery; 4 of these patients were in the expedited cataract surgery group and 12 in the group with normal wait times. The 1-year...
Eye Preoperative evaluation in cataract surgery C Alboim et al 1619 38.6% in non-evaluated patients (P = 0.181). When adjusted for propensity score, a lower rate of events was found in the outpatient-evaluated group (OR = 0.6; 95% CI 0.42–0.93), which was mostly driven by the most ...
Short-term mortality among middle-aged cataract surgery patients M. McKIBBIN, M. MOHAMMED, T.E. JAMES, P.L. ATKINSON Abstract Purpose To investigate the short-term mortality of middle-aged patients undergoing cataract surgery in the United Kingdom (UK), to compare this with the expected ...
Consequently, scholars have proposed various demographic indicators to quantify regional famine intensity, including excess death rate (EDR), cohort size shrinkage index (CSSI), abnormal death proportion, and infant mortality rate. Currently, CSSI is increasingly employed as an indicator for assessing ...
This relationship was even considered to be causal; that is, the worse the cataract, the higher the mortality. The increased mortality in patients who also underwent cataract surgery continued to be reported by other studies, although well-documented progress in phacoemulsification techniques improved ...
11Among cataract surgery candidates, for instance, despite the low incidence of perioperative morbidity and mortality12,13and because lack of recommendation for routine medical testing before surgery,14these patients have been seen more frequently in preoperative consultations, and the referrals do not ...
It is mainly caused by ocular trauma, inflammation or irritation.3 PCO is known as a secondary cataract, a major long-term complication of cataract surgery, occurring in 20 to 40% of patients after surgery, particularly, almost 100% in children and infants.6,7 The cellular mechanism of ASC...
