Functional and anatomical outcomes after successful macula-off retinal detachment surgery, a 12 month-follow-up
This is an abstract that was submitted for the 2016 ARVO Annual Meeting, held in Seattle, Wash., May 1-5, 2016.; Purpose: To describe the changes of retinal structure and function after successful repair of macula-off rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD). Methods: Prospective multicenter study including patients with successful surgery for macula-off RRD between October 2011 and April 2014. Those with pre-existing macular diseases or with surgery failures were excluded. Each patient underwent a complete ophthalmologic exam at baseline and at 1, 3, 6 and 12 months after the surgery (M1, M3, M6, M12, respectively). Function was assessed by measuring the best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) …
Factors influencing inclusion in digestive cancer clinical trials: A population-based study
Inclusion in a randomized therapeutic trial represents an optimal therapeutic strategy.To determine the influence of demographic characteristics and deprivation on the enrolment of patients in digestive cancer clinical trials.Between 2004 and 2010, 4632 patients were recorded by the Burgundy Digestive Cancer Registry. According to a balancing score, the 136 patients included in a clinical trial were matched with 272 patients who met the eligibility criteria for trials. Deprivation was measured by the ecological European deprivation index. A conditional multivariate logistic regression was performed.Patients aged over 75 years were significantly less likely to be included in clinical trials …
