Is the Incidence of Concomitant Esotropia with Diplopia in the United States Increasing?
Keywords Esotropia Diplopia Insurance claim Epidemiology Abbreviations and Acronyms CM (clinical modification) ET (esotropia) ICD (International Classification of Diseases) Comitant esotropia (ET) with diplopia is an acquired form of ET complicated by diplopia. This type of ET includes acquired ET, divergence-insufficiency ET, convergence-insufficiency ET, convergence-excess ET, and sagging eye syndrome.
Disruption Costs Claims: Why They Struggle, But Are Not Doomed To Fail.
Disruption costs claims on construction projects are known to have a lower success rate than their rich cousin, the prolongation costs claim. There are two main reasons for this: (1) a lack of understanding of their nature and how they relate to other types of additional cost claim; and (2) an inability to demonstrate their essential ingredients. Disruption is often referred to as inefficient working.
Nominated Subcontractors: What Is The Risk
Nominated subcontractors continue to be a cause for dispute where there is delay or defective work by that subcontractor. However, if the nominated subcontractor is forced on the contractor, the contractor may have a defence against any claim for delay or defective work alleged by the subcontractor.
Risk factors for strabismus surgery after pediatric cataract surgery in the United States
Abstract Purpose To determine the cumulative incidence of strabismus surgery following pediatric cataract surgery and identify the associated risk factors. Design US population-based insurance claims retrospective cohort study Participants Patients ≤18 years old who underwent cataract surgery in two large databases: CDM (2003-2021) and IBM® MarketScan® (2007-2016).
Beyond Visual Acuity-The Importance of Studying Motor Skills and Self-perception in Children Treated for Unilateral Congenital Cataract
One of the most common causes of deprivation amblyopia is a unilateral congenital cataract (UCC). Deprivation amblyopia can be mitigated in these eyes with early cataract extraction followed by refractive correction with a contact lens or intraocular lens and part-time occlusion therapy.
Long-term Effect of Intraocular Lens vs Contact Lens Correction on Visual Acuity After Cataract Surgery During Infancy: A Randomized Clinical Trial
Original Investigation February 20, 2020 JAMA Ophthalmol. 2020;138(4):365-372. doi:10.1001/jamaophthalmol.2020.0006 Key Points Question Is primary intraocular lens implantation associated with improvements in the long-term visual outcome for infants undergoing unilateral congenital cataract surgery?
Assessing Whether the Cataracts Associated With Atopic Dermatitis Are Associated With Steroids or Inflammatory Factors
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a common inflammatory skin condition during childhood. It is reported to affect more than 10% of children in the United States.1 It usually has its onset before 2 years of age, and more than 50% of cases resolve by adolescence. The disease often has a chronic waxing and waning course and is known to be part of the atopic triad, which also includes asthma and allergic rhinitis.
Association of Contact Lens Adherence With Visual Outcome in the Infant Aphakia Treatment Study: A Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Clinical Trial
Question How successful is contact lens wear in children following unilateral cataract surgery during infancy if contact lenses are provided at no charge to caregivers? Findings In this secondary analysis of a randomized clinical trial, most families reported that their child wore a contact lens more than 80% of waking hours from the time of cataract extraction through age 5 years.
Population-Based Incidence of Strabismus: Why Is It Important?
Torp-Pedersen et al1 reported that the cumulative incidence of strabismus at age 7 years in Denmark among a cohort of nearly 100?000 children born between 1996 and 2003 was 2.5%, and the most common type of strabismus was accommodative esotropia. Furthermore, they reported that the incidence of esotropia in Denmark is more than 5 times greater than the incidence of exotropia. Exotropia had a median age of disease detection of 17 months vs 32 months for accommodative esotropia.
Glaucoma-Related Adverse Events in the First 5 Years After Unilateral Cataract Removal in the Infant Aphakia Treatment Study
Importance Glaucoma-related adverse events constitute major sight-threatening complications of cataract removal in infancy, yet their relationship to aphakia vs primary intraocular lens (IOL) implantation remains unsettled. Objective To identify and characterize cases of glaucoma and glaucoma-related adverse events (glaucoma?+?glaucoma suspect) among children in the Infant Aphakia Treatment Study by the age of 5 years.
Comparison of Contact Lens and Intraocular Lens Correction of Monocular Aphakia During Infancy: A Randomized Clinical Trial of HOTV Optotype Acuity at Age 4.5 Years and Clinical Findings at Age 5 Years
Importance The efficacy and safety of primary intraocular lens (IOL) implantation during early infancy is unknown. Objective To compare the visual outcomes of patients optically corrected with contact lenses vs IOLs following unilateral cataract surgery during early infancy. Design, Setting, and Participants The Infant Aphakia Treatment Study is a randomized clinical trial with 5 years of follow-up that involved 114 infants with unilateral congenital cataracts at 12 sites.
