This is a descriptive study designed to assess the predictive value of intraocular pressure (IOP) measurement in GPs' offices in an urban healthcare site using Tono-pen XL. A total of 2044 patients, aged > or =40 years, were enrolled by consecutive sampling from patients visiting the GP. Those participants who had IOP > or =21 mmHg were referred to the ophthalmologist. Of the 226 then tested, ocular hypertension was confirmed in 100 participants (4.89%, 95% CI [confidence interval] = 3.93 to 5.85%). Predictive value was 44.2%. These results suggest the validity of using Tono-pen XL in the GP's office to detect ocular hypertension.
这是一项描述性研究,旨在评估在城市医疗场所的全科医生(GP)办公室使用Tono-pen XL眼压计测量眼压的预测价值。通过对就诊于全科医生的患者进行连续抽样,共纳入了2044名年龄≥40岁的患者。眼压≥21 mmHg的参与者被转诊至眼科医生处。在随后接受检测的226名参与者中,确诊100名患有高眼压症(4.89%,95%置信区间[CI]=3.93至5.85%)。预测值为44.2%。这些结果表明在全科医生办公室使用Tono-pen XL检测高眼压症是有效的。
