Beyond intraocular pressure: Optimizing patient-reported outcomes in glaucoma.

We provide a comprehensive, albeit non-systematic, critique of the psychometric properties, limitations, and recent advances of currently available glaucoma-specific PCOMs and PROMs.

Vision impairment and major eye diseases reduce vision-specific emotional well-being in a Chinese population.

Severe VI and glaucoma are associated with substantial decrements in vision-specific emotional well-being, highlighting the importance of preventing progression of vision loss.

Patient-reported Outcomes, Functional Assessment, and Utility Values in Glaucoma.

Standardizing and improving methods of patient-centered data collection and analysis in glaucoma studies are imperative.

Implementation of an Online Glaucoma-Specific Quality of Life Computerized Adaptive Test System in a US Glaucoma Hospital.

Pilot implementation of six GlauCAT QOL tests in glaucoma outpatient clinics was feasible and acceptable. Integration of GlauCAT with electronic medical records (EMRs) and evaluation of long-term implementation outcomes are needed.

Association Between Risk of Obstructive Sleep Apnea and Glaucoma: The Singapore Epidemiology of Eye Diseases Study.

Intermediate or high risk of OSA is associated with 50% higher odds of having glaucoma in our Singaporean population, with a 2-fold higher risk of glaucoma observed in Malays (but not Indians); however a conformational…

Development and Validation of a Preference-Based Glaucoma Utility Instrument Using Discrete Choice Experiment.

Use of Glau-U revealed large decrements in utility that were associated with late-stage glaucoma, suggesting that this new instrument may be useful for cost-effectiveness analyses of interventions and informing resource allocation policies for glaucoma and…

Oral Ibuprofen is Associated With Reduced Likelihood of Early Bleb Failure After Trabeculectomy in High-Risk Glaucoma Patients.

Early adjunctive oral ibuprofen administered to individuals at high risk of posttrabeculectomy scarring is associated with greater IOP reductions and reduced likelihood of bleb failure.

Psychometric Evaluation of Glaucoma Quality of Life Item Banks (GlauCAT) and Initial Assessment Using Computerized Adaptive Testing.

Following rigorous psychometric assessment, we developed 12 valid glaucoma-specific QoL domains that can obtain highly precise person measure estimates using a small number of items.

Shared Cared for Stable Glaucoma Patients: Economic Benefits and Patient-centered Outcomes of a Feasibility Trial.

Managing stable glaucoma patients at a primary care setting is a cost saving, safe, and effective shared care while enhancing professional collaboration between hospital and community settings.

Glaucoma in Older Asians Aged 60 to 100 Years: Prevalence, Factors, Trends, and Projections (2024-2040).

Glaucoma is common among older Singaporeans, with notable sociodemographic and modifiable clinical factors. Rising prevalence among Indians and the projected increase in cases underscore the need for targeted screening and early interventions.

Efficiency, Precision, Validity, and Reliability of GlauCAT-Asian Computerized Adaptive Tests in Measuring Glaucoma-Related Quality of Life.

GlauCAT-Asian provides efficient, precise, accurate, valid, and reliable measurement of the patient-centered impact of glaucoma.

Prevalence, Risk Determinants, and Burden of Undiagnosed Age-Related Eye Diseases Among Older Asian Adults.

In this cross-sectional cohort study, the rates of undiagnosed age-related eye diseases were relatively high, and these conditions were associated with poorer patient-centered outcomes and greater health care expenditure.

Association of Vision Impairment and Major Eye Diseases With Mobility and Independence in a Chinese Population.

Bilateral VI in this population was associated with substantial decrements in M&I, with glaucoma and cataract independently associated with worse M&I.

Persistence of Glaucoma Therapy and Visual Field Progression.

There were small but appreciable differences in VF progression rates between persistent and nonpersistent patient eyes on glaucoma drops, but differences were not significant.

Relationship Between Peripapillary Choroid and Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer Thickness in a Population-Based Sample of Nonglaucomatous Eyes.

Thinner peripapillary choroid was independently associated with thinner RNFL globally and in the inferior and superior regions. This structure-structure relationship may need further exploration in glaucomatous eyes prior to its application in clinical settings.

Identifying content for the glaucoma-specific item bank to measure quality-of-life parameters.

The systematic content identification process identified 10 QOL domains, which were important to patients with glaucoma.
