To increase access to care for cataract patients in Sweden, it was decided, starting in 1992, that all cataract patients listed for surgery and with priority should have their cataract extraction performed within three months. To evaluate the effect of this waiting time guarantee, a National Cataract Register (NCR) was initiated in late 1991. In 1992, 81% of all cataract extractions performed in Sweden were reported to the NCR; in 1993 this figure was 92%. Reasons for this high participation ratio are discussed. In 1993, 74.4% (range between different clinics, 40-99%) of the patients with priority had their operation performed within three months. Great variation in visual acuity and age was found in patients with priority among the different surgical units.
为了增加瑞典白内障患者获得治疗的机会，1992年起决定，所有被列入手术名单且具有优先权的白内障患者应在三个月内接受白内障摘除手术。为评估这一等待时间保障措施的效果，1991年末启动了国家白内障登记处（NCR）。1992年，瑞典所有白内障摘除手术的81%被报告给了NCR；1993年这一数字为92%。文中讨论了这一高参与率的原因。1993年，74.4%（不同诊所之间的范围为40 - 99%）具有优先权的患者在三个月内接受了手术。不同手术科室中具有优先权的患者在视力和年龄方面存在很大差异。
