Research
The ICHOM Cataract Outcomes Standard Set is being used as the basis for data collection, with a few variables added to identify different types of intraocular lens (IOL) used and experience of surgeon performing the surgery. The CatQuest 9-SF, translated and validated into Portuguese, is being used as the Patient-reported Outcomes Measurement.
Benchmarking is done at an aggregated level with international registries such as the European Registry of Quality Outcomes for Cataract and Refractive Surgery (EUREQUO) and the Swedish National Cataract Register (NCR)
The primary aim of this study is to estimate the effect of different types of IOLs (monofocal, multifocal, and toric) on the Catquest COA score, which is a validated measure of patient-reported outcomes in cataract surgery and to identify factors that may lead to a higher rate of PROM involvement pre- and post-surgery.
We will explore different demographic and clinical factors that may impact patient engagement in PROMs. Understanding these factors can help healthcare professionals provide more personalized care and improve patient outcomes.
Overall, this study aims to provide insights into the impact of IOL type on patient-reported outcomes and identify factors that can affect patient engagement in PROMs, which can inform clinical decision-making and improve the quality of care for cataract surgery patients.
