Evaluation of an Algorithm for Identifying Ocular Conditions in Electronic Health Record Data.

The algorithm developed, tested, and validated in this study appears to be better at identifying the presence or absence of XFS in EHR data than the conventional approach of assessing only billing codes; such an…

Personalized Prediction of Glaucoma Progression Under Different Target Intraocular Pressure Levels Using Filtered Forecasting Methods.

To our knowledge, this is the first clinical decision-making tool that generates personalized forecasts of the trajectory of OAG progression at different target IOP levels.

Large Disparities in Receipt of Glaucoma Care between Enrollees in Medicaid and Those with Commercial Health Insurance.

Irrespective of race/ethnicity, Medicaid recipients with OAG are receiving substantially less glaucoma testing compared with persons with commercial health insurance.

Using Kalman Filtering to Forecast Disease Trajectory for Patients With Normal Tension Glaucoma.

As observed previously for patients with HTG, KF can also effectively forecast disease trajectory for many patients with NTG.

Psychosocial Predictors of Glaucoma Medication Adherence Among the Support, Educate, Empower (SEE) Personalized Glaucoma Coaching Pilot Study Participants.

Lower income, lower educational attainment, and a higher level of glaucoma-related distress all predicted lower adherence to glaucoma medications.

Accuracy of Kalman Filtering in Forecasting Visual Field and Intraocular Pressure Trajectory in Patients With Ocular Hypertension.

These findings suggest that machine learning algorithms such as KF can accurately forecast MD, pattern standard deviation, and intraocular pressure 5 years into the future for many patients with OHTN.

A Comparison of Resource Use and Costs of Caring for Patients With Exfoliation Syndrome Glaucoma Versus Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma.

Healthcare resource utilization and costs are substantially higher for managing patients with XFG compared to POAG.

Development and Validation of the Low Vision Severely Constricted Peripheral Eyesight (LV-SCOPE) Questionnaire.

The LV-SCOPE Questionnaire provides a valid and reliable measure of vision-related functioning across 6 key domains relevant to individuals with severe PFL. Findings support the clinical utility of this psychometrically valid instrument.

Comparison of Outcomes of Laser Trabeculoplasty Performed by Optometrists vs Ophthalmologists in Oklahoma.

Considerable differences exist among the proportions of patients requiring additional LTPs comparing those who were initially treated by ophthalmologists with those initially treated by optometrists.
