To identify the multidisciplinary uveitis units in which internal medicine departments participate in collaboration with ophthalmology departments in Spain.
We conducted a multicentre, observational cross-sectional study that collected information using a structured survey sent by email to 1015 partners of the Systemic Autoimmune Diseases Workgroup of the Spanish Society of Internal Medicine (GEAS-SEMI) from the 1 to the 31 of March 2017.
We identified a total of 21 support units/consultations for the ophthalmology departments. Seventeen (81%) of the units were specific internal medicine-ophthalmology consultations, and 5 (24%) units had been created in the past 5 years. A median of 460 patients were assessed per unit by the end of the year.
This study shows, for the first time in Spain, the important and close collaboration between ophthalmologists and internists, especially in highly specialised national reference institutions.
确定西班牙内科部门与眼科部门合作的多学科葡萄膜炎诊疗单位。
我们开展了一项多中心观察性横断面研究,于2017年3月1日至31日通过电子邮件向西班牙内科协会系统性自身免疫性疾病工作组(GEAS-SEMI)的1015名成员发送结构化调查问卷来收集信息。
我们共确定了21个为眼科部门提供支持的单位/会诊点。其中17个(81%)单位是内科-眼科专科会诊点,5个(24%)单位是在过去5年设立的。到年底时,每个单位评估的患者中位数为460例。
本研究首次表明了在西班牙眼科医生和内科医生之间存在重要且密切的合作,尤其是在高度专业化的国家参考机构中。
