Factors affecting outcome of acquired comitant esotropia with restricted use of digital devices: ACEDD Study 3.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

The objective of this study is to investigate factors associated with outcomes after 3 months of instructed usage of hand-held digital devices (DD) in patients with acquired comitant esotropia (ACE).

Methods and analysis

This prospective multicentre observational study included patients with ACE, aged 5-35 years, who used DD within 1 year of onset and were followed up for clinical findings and instructed use of DD. The outcomes were classified into four groups: cured, improved, unchanged and worsened. After the analysis of group differences in the clinical and DD use-related factors by univariate analysis, we used ordinal logistic regression models to identify factors associated with favourable outcomes.

Results

Of 156 patients (mean age (SD): 16.4 (7.4) yea
