To define the amount of time necessary to follow patients after pterygium removal to identify a recurrence.
The authors reviewed patients who supposedly had a recurrence of their pterygium and analyzed the records to determine the duration of these recurrences.
One hundred sixty-one known pterygium recurrences were identified from records. Those patients with frequent follow-up in whom recurrence could be determined to within 1 month were in group A, and those in whom the time of recurrence was indefinite were in group B. For patients in group A, there was an average time to the first recurrence of 123 +/- 113 days, with second and third recurrences at 97 +/- 58 and 67 +/- 47 days, respectively. Survival curve analysis showed that there was a 50% chance that there would be a recurrence within the first 120 days, and there was a 97% chance there would be a recurrence within 12 months of its removal.
This suggests that a 1-year follow-up time is likely to identify a recurrence.
确定翼状胬肉切除术后随访患者以识别复发所需的时间。
作者回顾了疑似翼状胬肉复发的患者,并分析记录以确定这些复发的持续时间。
从记录中识别出161例已知的翼状胬肉复发患者。在A组中,那些随访频繁且复发时间可在1个月内确定的患者,而复发时间不确定的患者在B组。对于A组患者,首次复发的平均时间为123±113天,第二次和第三次复发的平均时间分别为97±58天和67±47天。生存曲线分析表明,在最初120天内有50%的复发几率,在切除后12个月内有97%的复发几率。
这表明1年的随访时间可能识别出复发情况。
