Cohort Study | Retinal artery occlusion linked to a 7-fold higher mortality rate from CV and cerebrovascular diseases

23 Mar, 2023 | 13:04h | UTC

Summary: This nationwide cohort study analyzed the incidence of retinal artery occlusion (RAO) in Korea from 2002 to 2018, along with related mortality and causes of death. The incidence of RAO was found to be 7.38 per 100,000 person-years, with a higher incidence of noncentral RAO compared to central RAO.

Patients with RAO had a mortality rate about 7 times higher than the general population, primarily due to cardiovascular or cerebrovascular diseases. The findings emphasize the need to address the risk of cardiovascular or cerebrovascular disease in patients newly diagnosed with RAO.

SR | Topical antibiotics modestly improve resolution of acute bacterial conjunctivitis

21 Mar, 2023 | 13:33h | UTC

Summary: The Cochrane Review evaluated the benefits and potential side effects of antibiotic therapy in treating acute bacterial conjunctivitis. The authors included 21 randomized controlled trials, with a total of 8,805 participants. The trials evaluated the effectiveness of topical antibiotic treatments in the form of drops or ointments, and were heterogeneous in terms of eligibility criteria, antibiotic drug class, duration of treatment, and outcomes assessed.

The review found that antibiotics likely improved clinical cure by 26% compared with placebo, with no evidence of serious systemic side effects reported in either the antibiotic or placebo group. Fluoroquinolones were found to have fewer ocular side effects compared to non-fluoroquinolones.

Overall, the review suggests that the use of topical antibiotics may be considered to achieve better clinical and microbiologic efficacy than placebo in treating acute bacterial conjunctivitis.
