ABSTRACT
Background/Objectives: To evaluate the clinical and patient-reported outcomes (PROMs) obtained with an optimized version of a previously investigated trifocal IOL. Methods: Prospective non-comparative single-center study enrolling 29 patients (55-71 years) undergoing bilateral cataract surgery with implantation of the trifocal diffractive IOL Liberty 677CMY (Medicontur Medical Engineering Ltd., Zsámbék, Hungary). Visual and refractive outcomes as well as PROMs were evaluated during a 3-month follow-up: measurement of uncorrected and corrected distance (UDVA, CDVA), intermediate (UIVA, DCIVA) and near visual acuities (UNVA, DCNVA), defocus curve, patient satisfaction, photic phenomena perception, spectacle independence, and difficulty in performing some vision-related activities. Results: A total of 100%, 92%, and 80% of patients achieved a postoperative binocular UDVA, UIVA, and UNVA of 20/25 or better, respectively. Likewise, 100%, 80%, and 84% of patients achieved a postoperative binocular CDVA, DCIVA, and DCNVA of 20/25 or better, respectively. In the defocus curve, all mean visual acuity values were better than 0.15 logMAR for all defocus levels. A total of 95.8%, 95.8%, and 91.7% of patients referred to be satisfied with their distance, intermediate, and near visual vision, respectively. Mean overall Catquest Rasch calibrated score was -3.12 ± 0.98. Most of the patients were spectacle independent: far (95.8%), intermediate (95.8%) or near vision (91.7%). No bothersome or minimal to moderately bothersome halo, starburst, and glare was perceived by 83.3%, 83.4%, and 83.3% of patients, respectively. Conclusions: The trifocal IOL evaluated provides a visual acuity improvement, with high levels of spectacle independence, patient satisfaction, and perceived visual quality associated.
ABSTRACT
Este estudio pretende analizar la relación entre trabajar en locales de ocio nocturno en Córdoba y estado nutricional, composición corporal, patrones alimenticios, consumo de sustancias tóxicas (alcohol y tabaco), actividad física, alteración del sueño y auto-percepción de la salud. Se estudió una muestra representativa de la población de trabajadores de ocio nocturno de Córdoba constituida por 144 sujetos (88 hombres y 56 mujeres) con una edad media de 26.88(±4.7) años, a los que se le analizó su composición corporal. Además, mediante entrevista personal fueron sometidos a cuestionarios validados para realizar una valoración de los parámetros objetos de estudio. El grupo de hombres presenta una media de Índice de Masa Corporal mayor que las mujeres (p<0.05), mostrando sobrepeso en más de la mitad de la muestra, y con niveles de grasa corporal elevados en el 42% de los sujetos. La adherencia a la dieta mediterránea es baja y el 48.6% presenta un consumo de riesgo de alcohol, siendo mayor en los hombres. El 40% de los sujetos sufren trastornos de somnolencia diurna, aunque invierten una gran cantidad de tiempo en actividades físicas. La población muestra una alta prevalencia de sobrepeso y obesidad junto con una baja adherencia a la dieta mediterránea. Pese a no mostrar una actitud sedentaria, incluyen hábitos poco saludables en su día a día (tabaco y alcohol) y presentan una alteración del patrón del sueño. Aunque reflejan una auto-percepción de su salud elevada, 1 de cada 5 es consciente de que podría mejorarla (AU)
This study is aimed to analyze the factors that affect body composition, nutritional status, dietary habits, substance abuse (alcohol and smoking), physical activity, sleepiness disorders and self-rated health status in people working in nightlife in the city of Cordoba. Representative sample of 144 subjects (88 men and 56 women) with a mean age of 26.88 (± 4.7) years was studied. Individuals were analized for their body composition. Besides, a personal interview was used to administrate validated questionnaires to get other important data related to the aim of the study. The male group showed higher body mass index (p<0.05), showing overweight in more than half of the sample, and higher levels of body fat in 42% of subjects. Adherence to the Mediterranean diet was low and up to 48.6% presents a risk alcohol consumption, being higher in the male group. 40% of the subjects suffer from disorders of daytime sleepiness, however they spend a big amount of time in physical activities. The sample shows a high obesity and overweight prevalence and a low adherence to the mediterranean diet. Although they are not sedentary, the sample has unhealthy habits such as drinking alcohol and smoking and at the same time they suffer from sleepiness daytime disorders. In spite of they seems to have a high self-awareness about their own health status, 1 from every 5 individuals recognize that they could improve it (AU)
