This is a report on physicians' response to a pilot survey regarding the method of management of a patient sent to them for a health evaluation because of a Hollenhorst plaque detected during a routine eye examination. Several specialties and sub-specialties were surveyed. The results demonstrate a wide variability in the methods chosen for management of the patient, indicating the need to consider standardizing the health evaluation. A review of literature suggests that the patient with a Hollenhorst plaque is at increased risk for both cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease and appropriate measures should be taken to minimize the risk. The pilot survey suggests that more in-depth surveys are necessary to establish standards of care for the patient with Hollenhorst plaques as well as other ocular conditions related to systemic disorders.
这是一份关于医生对一项试点调查的回应报告,该调查涉及一名因在常规眼部检查中发现霍伦霍斯特斑块而被送去进行健康评估的患者的管理方法。调查了几个专业和亚专业。结果表明,在为该患者选择的管理方法上存在很大差异,这表明有必要考虑对健康评估进行标准化。文献综述表明,患有霍伦霍斯特斑块的患者患心血管疾病和脑血管疾病的风险增加,应采取适当措施将风险降至最低。试点调查表明,有必要进行更深入的调查,以建立针对患有霍伦霍斯特斑块以及与全身疾病相关的其他眼部疾病患者的护理标准。
