Abstract:
This article aims to propose a design for Eye Injury Registry (EIR) model for Indian Armed Forces, to make ophthalmologists and non-ophthalmologists aware about the existence as well as the usefulness of such a registry. This is a perspective study. The EIR model for Armed Forces was designed based on the relevant sources in PubMed, Scopus and Embase including registries of pioneering countries like United States and Canada. A questionnaire based on the model dimensions was developed (Cronbach\'s alpha>0.7) and filled by 04 senior ophthalmologists in Armed Forces, all of who had a significant experience in dealing with various types of ocular trauma, to give expert opinions, which were then applied to the proposed model to finalize it. In Armed Forces, a registry and reporting on eye injury along with a systematic collection of standard data on eye injuries will help ophthalmologists in the successful prevention. Such a registry and its large database once formed will permit elaborate epidemiologic investigations, highlighting preventable sources of injury, emerging patterns of trauma in our services, and the best possible treatment protocols to be adopted, for successful outcomes. EIR in Armed Forces can help in the collection of eye injury data, thereby improving the quality-of-care and expansion of prevention strategies for ocular injuries. It is a step to make a truly effective data bank, which will be instrumental in combating such preventable ocular injuries and in turn go a very long way in achieving the final goal of preventing up to 90% of such injuries.
摘要:
本文旨在为印度武装部队的眼外伤登记(EIR)模型提出设计,使眼科医生和非眼科医生意识到这种注册的存在和有用性。这是一个前瞻性的研究。武装部队的EIR模型是根据PubMed中的相关来源设计的,Scopus和Embase包括美国和加拿大等先锋国家的注册机构。开发了基于模型维度的问卷(Cronbach'salpha>0.7),并由04名武装部队高级眼科医生填写,所有这些人在处理各种类型的眼外伤方面都有丰富的经验,给出专家意见,然后将其应用于所提出的模型以完成它。在武装部队中,关于眼外伤的登记和报告以及系统收集关于眼外伤的标准数据将有助于眼科医生成功预防.这样的登记册及其大型数据库一旦形成,将允许进行详细的流行病学调查,强调可预防的伤害来源,我们服务中出现的创伤模式,以及可能采用的最佳治疗方案,为了成功的结果。武装部队中的EIR可以帮助收集眼睛受伤数据,从而提高护理质量和扩大眼外伤的预防策略。这是建立真正有效的数据库的一步,这将有助于打击这种可预防的眼外伤,进而在实现预防高达90%的眼外伤的最终目标方面走了很长的路。
