Purpose Open globe injuries are diagnosed by ophthalmological examination. The purpose of this study is to determine the sensitivity in the diagnosis of preoperative orbital computed tomography (CT) in our patients with open globe injury and to evaluate the affecting factors. Materials and Methods The data of patients who underwent open globe injury repair between September 2014 and February 2021 in the Akdeniz University Hospital Ophthalmology Clinic were retrospectively analyzed. Demographic data of 290 patients’ were recorded. Patients suffer from corneal, scleral and corneoscleral injury; classified as pediatric and adult age groups. The presence of open globe injury, foreign body(FB) and orbital fracture in the preoperative orbital CT report were recorded. Results Sixty (20.7%) women and 230 (79.3%) men were included in the study. Of the patients, 58 (20%) were pediatric and 232 (80%) were adults. There were corneal, 76 (26.2%) scleral, and 59 (20.3%) corneoscleral injuries in 155 (53.4%) patients. In the preoperative orbital CT report, it was stated that 163 (56.2%) patients had open globe injuries. We did not observe any statistical difference between the diagnostic efficiency of orbital CT in pediatric and adult groups (p=0.636). When we evaluate according to the location of wound; scleral and corneoscleral injuries were compared with corneal injuries, we found that orbital CT was more effective in diagnosing (p
Objective: This study evaluated the quality, reliability and effectiveness of YouTube videos addressing retinal detachment. Material and Methods:An online search of YouTube was performed using the keyword retinal detachment and the first 100 videos were included in the study. All videos were evaluated numbers of likes, dislikes, comments, view, daily viewing rate, uploaded source (physicians, public/private institution, or health channel), country of origin, video type (patient experience, scholarly information), and contents (clinic, treatment or both of them), Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), DISCERN, global quality (GQS) and usefulness scores by two independent ophthalmologists. Results:Eighty eight videos of the top 100 videos met the criteria. The mean DISCERN, JAMA, GQS and usefulness score were 44.81 ± 14, 1.66 ± 0.58, 2.81 ± 0.93 and 2.05 ± 1.24, respectively. 52 (59.1%) videos were uploded by physicians and 36 (40.9%) videos were uploded by non-physicians. In the correlation analysis, the all scoring systems showed a significant and strong positive correlation with each other (p
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
