Relationships among Clinical Factors and Patient-reported Outcome Measures in Adults with Convergence Insufficiency.

ABSTRACT:

Significance

When exploring relationships among clinical measures and patient-reported outcome measures in adults with convergence insufficiency, worse symptoms (Convergence Insufficiency Symptom Survey [CISS] score) seemed to be correlated with worse reading function domain score (Adult Strabismus-20 quality-of-life questionnaire). After treatment, improved symptoms were associated with improved reading function quality of life.

Purpose

This study aimed to explore relationships between clinical measures and patient-reported outcome measures in adults undergoing treatment for symptomatic convergence insufficiency.

Methods

In a prospective multicenter observational study, we evaluated adults with symptomatic convergence insufficiency (i.e., clinical measures of near exodeviation, receded near point of convergence, reduced near positive fusional vergence; CISS score ≥21). Fifty-seven participants treated with vision therapy/exercises (n = 35) or base-in prism (n = 22) were analyzed. Spearman correlation coefficients ( R ) were used to assess associations among the three clinical measures and patient-reported outcome measures (CISS, Diplopia Questionnaire, four Adult Strabismus-20 quality-of-life domains) before treatment (baseline) and after 10 weeks and 1 year. Associations were interpreted to be present when the lower limit of the 95% confidence interval (CI) was moderate to strong ( R ≥ 0.4).

Results

Among multiple exploratory analyses, the only moderate to strong baseline correlation was between worse CISS and worse Adult Strabismus-20 reading function scores ( R = 0.62; 95% CI, 0.43 to 0.76). Regarding change in measures with treatment, the only moderate to strong correlations were between improved CISS and improved Adult Strabismus-20 reading function scores for prism at 10 weeks ( R = 0.78; 95% CI, 0.52 to 0.91) and 1 year ( R = 0.85; 95% CI, 0.65 to 0.94) and for vision therapy/exercises at 1 year ( R = 0.78; 95% CI, 0.57 to 0.89).

Conclusions

In exploratory analyses, we found positive correlations between CISS symptom scores and reading function quality-of-life scores. The absence of correlations between symptoms and individual clinical measures is consistent with clinical experience that, in convergence insufficiency, symptoms and clinical findings can be discordant.

Project description:BackgroundPatients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) face risks of not only end-stage kidney disease (ESKD), cardiovascular disease (CVD) and death, but also decline in kidney function, quality of life (QOL) and mental and physical well-being. This study describes the multidimensional trajectories of CKD using clinical events, kidney function and patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs). We hypothesized that more advanced CKD stages would associate with more rapid decline in each outcome.MethodsAmong 3939 participants enrolled in the Chronic Renal Insufficiency Cohort (CRIC) Study, we evaluated multidimensional disease trajectories by G- and A-stages of enrollment estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and albuminuria, respectively. These trajectories included clinical events (ESKD, CVD, heart failure and death), eGFR decline and PROMs [kidney disease QOL (KDQOL) burden, effects and symptoms questionnaires, as well as the 12-item short form mental and physical component summaries]. We also evaluated a group-based multitrajectory model to group participants on the basis of longitudinal PROMs and compared group assignments by enrollment G- and A-stage.ResultsThe mean participant age was 58 years, 45% were women, mean baseline eGFR was 44 mL/min/1.73 m2 and median urine albumin:creatinine ratio was 52 mg/g. The incidence of all clinical events was greater and eGFR decline was faster with more advanced G- and A-stages. While baseline KDQOL and physical component measures were lower with more advanced G- and A-stage of CKD, changes in PROMs were inconsistently related to the baseline CKD stage. Groups formed on PROM trajectories were fairly distinct from existing CKD staging (observed agreement 60.6%) and were associated with the risk of ESKD, CVD, heart failure and death.ConclusionsMore advanced baseline CKD stage was associated with a higher risk of clinical events and faster eGFR decline, and was only weakly related to changes in patient-reported metrics over time.

Project description:ObjectivesTo identify patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) and patient-reported experience measures (PREMs) in clinical quality registries, for people with cutaneous melanoma, to inform a new Australian Melanoma Clinical Outcomes Registry; and describe opportunities and challenges of routine PROM/PREM collection, especially in primary care.DesignSystematic review.Primary and secondary outcome measuresWhich PROMs and PREMs are used in clinical quality registries for people with cutaneous melanoma, how they are collected, frequency of collection, participant recruitment methods and funding models for each registry.Results1134 studies were identified from MEDLINE, PreMEDLINE, Embase, PsychInfo, Cochrane Database of Abstracts of Reviews of Effects databases and TUFTS Cost-Effectiveness Analysis Registry, alongside grey literature, from database inception to 5th February 2020. Following screening, 14 studies were included, identifying four relevant registries: Dutch Melanoma Registry, Adelphi Real-World Disease-Specific Programme (Melanoma), Patient-Reported Outcomes Following Initial treatment and Long-term Evaluation of Survivorship Registry, and Cancer Experience Registry. These used seven PROMs: EuroQol-5 Dimensions, Functional Assessment of Cancer-General (FACT-G) and FACT-Melanoma (FACT-M), European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire-Cancer 30 (EORTC QLQ-C30), Fatigue Assessment Scale Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, Patient-Reported Outcome Measures Information System-29 and one PREM; EORTC QLQ-Information Module 26. PROMs/PREMs in registries were reported to improve transparency of care; facilitate clinical auditing for quality assessment; enable cost-effectiveness analyses and create large-scale research platforms. Challenges included resource burden for data entry and potential collection bias toward younger, more affluent respondents. Feedback from patients with melanoma highlighted the relevance of PROMs/PREMs in assessing patient outcomes and patient experiences.ConclusionsClinical registries indicate PROMs/PREMs for melanoma care can be incorporated and address important gaps, however cost and collection bias may limit generalisability.Prospero registration numberCRD42018086737.
