Corticosteroid-induced intraocular pressure elevation in the pediatric patients: A protocol for systematic review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Corticosteroids have been one of the most frequently used therapeutics in ophthalmology over the past decades, known for their potent anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive actions. Intraocular pressure elevation has proven to be a significant ocular side effect that could accompany steroid use. However, the information on ocular-hypertensive corticosteroid response is scant in children. We aim to systematically describe the corticosteroid-induced intraocular pressure elevation in the pediatric age group.

Methods

PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Latin American and Caribbean Health Sciences Literature, and the Chinese Biomedical Literature database will be searched for potential articles from database inception to April 29, 2021. No language restr
