Update of the 1996 U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) recommendation statement on screening for visual impairment.
The USPSTF reviewed evidence published since its last review on screening adults 65 years or older in the primary care setting for visual acuity impairment associated with uncorrected refractive errors, cataracts, and age-related macular degeneration.
The USPSTF concludes that the current evidence is insufficient to assess the balance of benefits and harms of screening for visual acuity for the improvement of outcomes in older adults. (I statement).
1996年美国预防服务工作组(USPSTF)关于视力损害筛查的推荐声明更新。
USPSTF回顾了自上次审查以来发表的证据,这些证据涉及在初级保健环境中对65岁及以上成年人进行与未矫正屈光不正、白内障和年龄相关性黄斑变性相关的视力损害筛查。
USPSTF得出结论,目前的证据不足以评估筛查视力以改善老年人结局的利弊平衡。(I声明)
