■要确定皮肤镜检查是否,一种广泛用于皮肤病学的技术,用于改善皮肤病变的诊断,可以舒适地用于评估眶周,眼睑,和结膜病变。
■概念验证研究,其中开发了一种在眼睛附近进行皮肤镜检查的技术,准备了相关的教育材料,并创建了皮肤镜图像捕获的协议。
■技术人员使用开发的材料学习使用连接到标准手机摄像头的10倍皮肤镜拍摄高质量的照片。由眼整形外科医生和两名皮肤科医生评估图像的诊断实用性。
■拍摄了2021年7月至2023年4月从眼科诊所招募的115名患者,根据眼整形外科医生和两名皮肤科医生的评估,通过高质量的皮肤镜图像产生129个病变。
■技术人员报告说,训练后皮肤镜检查的置信度(以1-10量表测量)显着增加(教学前平均值=1.72,中位数=1,模式=1,IQR=1.25,平均值=7.69,中位数=7.75,模式=7和8,IQR=1.5。具有连续性校正的Wilcoxon秩和检验,W=0,p<0.001,配对t=13.95,p<0.0001)。在皮肤镜上结合具有4×4mm网状物的接触板,有助于拍摄眼部和眼周病变。
■可以教导眼科护理办公室的医疗支持人员使用皮肤镜捕获高质量的眶周图像,眼睑,和结膜病变。皮肤镜检查可阐明病变的诊断特征,从而为改善眼科决策提供了新途径。眼科医生可以将皮肤镜检查纳入远程医疗评估中,眼整形外科医生,或附属皮肤科医生对患者进行分类或提供建议,并在需要时进行手术计划。
UNASSIGNED: To determine if dermoscopy, a technique widely utilized in dermatology for improved diagnosis of skin lesions, can be used comfortably for evaluating periorbital, eyelid, and conjunctival lesions.
UNASSIGNED: Proof-of-concept study in which a technique for performing dermoscopy near the eye was developed, related educational material was prepared, and a protocol for dermoscopic image capture was created.
UNASSIGNED: Technicians used the developed materials to learn to take high-quality pictures with a 10x dermoscope attached to a standard cell phone camera. The images were assessed for diagnostic utility by an oculoplastic surgeon and two dermatologists.
UNASSIGNED: 115 patients recruited from ophthalmology clinics from July 2021 to April 2023 were photographed, yielding 129 lesions with high-quality dermoscopic images as assessed by an oculoplastic surgeon and two dermatologists.
UNASSIGNED: Technicians reported a significant increase in confidence (measured on a 1-10 scale) with dermoscopy after training (pre-instruction mean = 1.72, median = 1, mode = 1, IQR = 1.25 vs mean = 7.69, median = 7.75, mode = 7 and 8, IQR = 1.5 post-instruction. Wilcoxon rank sum test with continuity correction, W = 0, p < 0.001, paired t = 13.95, p < 0.0001). Incorporating a contact plate with a 4 × 4mm reticule on the dermoscope aided in photographing ocular and periocular lesions.
UNASSIGNED: Medical support staff in eye-care offices can be taught to use dermoscopes to capture high-quality images of periorbital, eyelid, and conjunctival lesions. Dermoscopy illuminates diagnostic features of lesions and thus offers a new avenue to improve decision-making in ophthalmology. Dermoscopy can be incorporated into telemedicine evaluations by ophthalmologists, oculoplastic surgeons, or affiliated dermatologists for triage of or rendering advice to patients and for planning of surgery if needed.
