AIM: To assess glaucoma patient satisfaction and follow-up adherence in case management and identify associated predictors to improve healthcare quality and patient outcomes. METHODS: In this cross-sectional study, a total of 119 patients completed a Patient Satisfaction Questionnaire-18 and a sociodemographic questionnaire. Clinical data was obtained from the case management system. Follow-up adherence was defined as completing each follow-up within ±30d of the scheduled time set by ophthalmologists during the study period. RESULTS: Average satisfaction scored 78.65±7, with an average of 4.39±0.58 across the seven dimensions. Age negatively correlated with satisfaction (P=0.008), whilst patients with follow-up duration of 2 or more years reported higher satisfaction (P=0.045). Multivariate logistics regression analysis revealed that longer follow-up durations were associated with lower follow-up adherence (OR=0.97, 95%CI, 0.95-1.00, P=0.044). Additionally, patients with suspected glaucoma (OR=2.72, 95%CI, 1.03-7.20, P=0.044) and those with an annual income over 100 000 Chinese yuan demonstrated higher adherence (OR=5.57, 95%CI, 1.00-30.89, P=0.049). CONCLUSION: The case management model proves effective for glaucoma patients, with positive adherence rates. The implementation of this model can be optimized in the future based on the identified factors and extended to glaucoma patients in more hospitals.

“…The "patient satisfaction questionnaire" form (PSQ-18) was used to assess patient satisfaction. This tool entails 18 items for the assessment of seven dimensions, including general satisfaction, technical quality, interpersonal manner, communication, financial aspects, time spent with the physician, and accessibility and convenience [9,10] .…”

Background: The response of diabetic polyneuropathy (DPN) to conservative treatment is usually unsatisfactory. As the manifestations of DPN usually mimic nerve compression, we evaluated the outcomes of tibial nerve decompression at the tarsal tunnel compared to the conservative measures in patients presenting with painful lower limb diabetic neuropathy. Patients and methods: This randomized controlled clinical trial included 42 patients who were randomly assigned into two groups; Group 1 included 21 patients who were surgically managed by tibial nerve decompression at the tarsal tunnel level, and Group 2 included the remaining cases who received the standard conservative management. Follow-up was done after six months via clinical, nerve conduction, and ultrasound assessment. Results: All pre-intervention patient and disease criteria showed no significant difference between the study groups. Nevertheless, a significant improvement in neuropathic pain and ischemic manifestations was noticed in Group 1. The same group also expressed better improvement of nerve conduction studies at follow-up compared to its baseline values and Group 2. Posterior tibial artery indices and cross-sectional area of the posterior tibial nerve (PTN) were significantly improved in Group 1 compared to Group 2. Consequently, there was a great improvement in patient satisfaction with the surgical intervention. Conclusion: The surgical decompression of the PTN is associated with better short-term outcomes regarding pain improvement, nerve conduction findings, and ultrasonographic arterial and nerve parameters compared to the conservative treatment.
