Timely follow-up after an abnormal preschool vision screening test is necessary for the prevention of amblyopia. A previous large community-based preschool vision screening program found that only approximately half of those children who were referred were documented to have received follow-up care. No similar data are available regarding follow-up from the primary care setting. We present findings from a pilot study designed to identify barriers to follow-up care faced by families screened by pediatricians and family physicians. These data will be used in larger studies to measure rates of follow-up and to develop interventions to improve the detection of amblyopia and conditions associated with the development of amblyopia.
对于预防弱视而言,在学龄前视力筛查测试结果异常后及时进行随访很有必要。此前一项基于社区的大型学龄前视力筛查项目发现,在那些被转诊的儿童中,只有约一半有记录显示接受了后续护理。目前尚无来自初级保健机构关于随访情况的类似数据。我们展示了一项试点研究的结果,该研究旨在确定由儿科医生和家庭医生进行筛查的家庭在接受后续护理时所面临的障碍。这些数据将用于规模更大的研究,以衡量随访率,并制定干预措施,以改善弱视及与弱视发展相关病症的检测。
