These repre sent thrombi or vulnerable plaques to which attention should be drawn as plaques prone to cause embolism medications for ptsd buy 3 ml careprost with amex. Plaque score Plaque scoring is useful as a means of semiquantitative analysis of the degree of atherosclerosis. The simplest way of scoring plaques, reported to date, is to total the plaque thickness for three segments (internal carotid artery, bulbus and common carotid artery) on each of right and left sides. In cases free of stenosis, sampling points may be set Plaque surface morphology is expressed using terms such freely at points which will allow good depiction. However, as smooth, irregular, and ulcerated (accompanied by the points showing a change in diameter, points near marked depression, as shown in Fig. Each sampling point usually should have a Plaques are divided into three major types by the echoge size equivalent to 1/2 or more of the vascular diameter and nicity inside the plaques. In cases of stenosis, the extent of ste ation of echogenicity of plaques requires a structure for nosis is taken into account when setting the size of the sam comparison.

Introduction this pocket guide provides rapid prompts for appropriate patient management, which is outlined in much greater detail in the full-text guidelines. It is not intended as a replacement for understanding the caveats and rationales that are stated carefully in the full-text guidelines. The scope of these pocket guidelines (updated for 2011) is limited to disorders of the lower extremity arteries, renal and mesenteric arteries, and disorders of the abdominal aorta. All recommendations provided in this document follow the format of previous American College of Cardiology Foundation/American Heart Association guidelines (Table 1). Recommendations that remain unchanged used the Class of Recommendation/Level of Evidence table from the 2005 guideline. Individuals at Risk for Lower Extremity Peripheral Arterial Disease n Age less than 50 years, with diabetes and one other atherosclerosis risk factor (smoking, dyslipidemia, hypertension, or hyperhomocysteinemia) n Age 50 to 69 and a history of smoking and diabetes n Age 70 or older n Leg symptoms with exertion (suggestive of claudication) or ishemic rest pain n Abnormal lower extremity pulse examination n Known atherosclerotic coronary, carotid, or renal artery disease Key Components of the Vascular Review of Systems. Any exertional limitation of the lower extremity muscles or any history of walking impairment (described as fatigue, aching, numbness, or pain, occurring in the buttock, thigh, calf, or foot). A history of walking impairment, claudication, ischemic rest pain, and/or nonhealing wounds is recommended as a required component of a standard review of systems for adults 50 years and older who have atherosclerosis risk factors, or for adults 70 years and older. Primary treatment of diabetes mellitus should be continued according to established guidelines. Claudication Claudication is defined as fatigue, discomfort, or pain that occurs in specific limb muscle groups during effort due to exercise-induced ischemia (Figures 3 and 4). Before undergoing an evaluation for revascularization, patients with intermittent claudication should have significant functional impairment with a reasonable likelihood of symptomatic improvement and absence of other disease that would comparably limit exercise even if the claudication was improved. A therapeutic trial of cilostazol should be considered in all patients with lifestyle limiting claudication (in the absence of heart failure). Pentoxifylline (400 mg 3 times per day) may be considered as second line alternative therapy to cilostazol to improve walking distance in patients with intermittent claudication. The clinical effectiveness of pentoxifylline as therapy for claudication is marginal and not well established. The effectiveness of L-arginine for patients with intermittent claudication is not well established. The effectiveness of propionyl-L-carnitine or ginkgo biloba as therapy to improve walking distance in patients with intermittent claudication is not well established. Oral vasodilator prostaglandins such as beraprost and iloprost are not effective medications to walking distance in patients with intermittent claudication. Vitamin E is not recommended as a treatment for patients with intermittent claudication. For diagnosis and treatment of critical and acute limb ischemia, see Figures 5, 6 and 7. Primary treatment of diabetes mellitus should be continued according to established guidelines. Primary treatment of diabetes mellitus should be continued according to established guidelines. These events should prompt physician re-evaluation *These general guidelines should be individualized and based on the results of treadmill stress testing and the clinical status of the patient. A full discussion of the exercise precautions for persons with concomitant diseases can be found elsewhere for diabetes. Endovascular procedures are indicated for individuals with a vocational or lifestyle disability due to intermittent claudication when clinical features suggest a reasonable likelihood of symptomatic improvement with endovascular intervention and (a) there has been an inadequate response to exercise or pharmacological therapy and/or (b) there is a very favorable benefit/risk ratio. Endovascular intervention is recommended as the preferred revascularization technique for TransAtlantic Inter-Society Consensus type A (see Tables 5 and 6 and Figure 8) iliac and femoropopliteal arterial lesions. Translesional pressure gradients (with and without vasodilation) should be obtained to evaluate 20 the significance of angiographic iliac arterial stenoses of 50% to 75% diameter prior to intervention. Stents (and other adjunctive techniques such as lasers, cutting balloons, atherectomy devices, and thermal devices) can be useful in the femoral, popliteal, and tibial arteries as salvage therapy for a suboptimal or failed result from balloon dilation. The effectiveness of stents, atherectomy, cutting balloons, thermal devices, and lasers for the treatment of femoral-popliteal arterial lesions (except to salvage a suboptimal result from balloon dilation) is not well established. The effectiveness of uncoated/uncovered stents, atherectomy, cutting balloons, thermal devices, and lasers for the treatment of infrapopliteal lesions (except to salvage a suboptimal result from balloon dilation) is not well established. Endovascular intervention is not indicated if there is no significant pressure gradient across a stenosis despite flow augmentation with vasodilators.

Therefore symptoms zoning out order careprost once a day, we included a specific question about the impact on equality and health inequality groups in the evidence-based interventions consultation. Key themes from the analysis of the responses relevant to the equality and health inequalities impact assessment have been reflected throughout this document. They have also been taken account of in the Evidence-Based Interventions Policy: Response to the public consultation and next steps document. The consultation had involvement of a number of stakeholders and equalities and health inclusion groups (see response 11 above). Were key issues, concerns or questions expressed by stakeholders and if so what were these and how were they addressed? Stakeholders are broadly supportive of the work on the proposals for the 17 interventions and concerns relating to the equalities and health inequalities raised by stakeholders are reflected throughout this review. If stakeholders were not broadly supportive of the work but you are recommending progressing with the work anyway, why are you making this recommendation? For some of the 17 interventions and implementation mechanisms there are groups that are not broadly supportive of the specific recommendations. Further details can be found in the Evidence-Based Interventions Policy: Response to the public consultation and next steps document (Nov 2018). We plan to hold a number of further engagement and involvement activities, including:? Publication of the Evidence-Based Interventions Policy: Response to the public consultation and next steps document that includes the clinical criteria for the 17 interventions end of 2018? Ongoing engagement throughout January April 2019 with all sectors (primary care, commissioners, providers and patients and the public) to raise awareness, understanding and embed change to support implementation. In addition, we will we will use existing patient networks from our steering group partners, to help co-produce and advise on materials and information to support implementation. Please identify the main data sets and sources that you have drawn on in relation to this work. Important equalities or health inequalities data gaps or gaps in relation to evaluation. Yes No There is currently no nationally collected data for 6 of the 9 equality groups and additional health improvement groups for the interventions in this review. Planned action to address important equalities or health inequalities data gaps or gaps in relation to evaluation. If you have identified important gaps and you have identified action to be taken, what action are you planning to take, when and why? Can this work contribute to eliminating discrimination, harassment or victimisation? Yes No Do not know Currently patients could be receiving interventions that are not appropriate for their needs. This enables patients to have access to the most effective treatment to achieve the best outcome, which may be less invasive and offer further health benefits where it is a lifestyle change. Can this policy or piece of work contribute to fostering good relations between groups? An example of this is that all our partners are joint signatories on the consultation and the Evidence-Based Interventions Policy: Response to the public consultation and next steps document which includes the clinical criteria for the 17 interventions. Fostering of good relationships was also enhanced through engagement with a number of other key stakeholders including charities and patient groups prior, during and post consultation. We will continue this work through our ongoing engagement programme to support implementation with our national steering group and we will use existing patient networks from our steering group partners. Can this policy or piece of work contribute to reducing inequalities in access to health services? Yes No Do not know If yes which groups should benefit and how and/or might any group lose out? When implemented, this guidance should prompt consideration of what is the most appropriate treatment in discussion between the doctor and their patient, meaning patients will receive the most appropriate treatment. There are also wider population gains for those patients who will receive treatments supported by the resource saved from stopping doing interventions that are not appropriate in some cases and re-directed in to providing treatments that are. An additional benefit is where an alternative treatment involves a lifestyle change that has an added health benefit for the individual. Yes No Do not know If yes which groups should benefit and how and/or might any group lose out? We will use existing patient networks from our steering group partners, to help co-produce and advise on materials and information to support implementation. What positive and negative impact will these changes make to improving access, experience and outcomes for the following groups and how can any risks be mitigated to ensure the changes do not worsen health inequalities for:? This guidance relates to surgical procedures in adults to remove, refashion or stiffen the tissues of the soft palate (Uvulopalatopharyngoplasty, Laser assisted Uvulopalatoplasty & Radiofrequency ablation of the palate) in an attempt to improve the symptom of snoring. It is important to note that snoring can be associated with multiple other causes such as being overweight, smoking, alcohol or blockage elsewhere in the upper airways. Gynaecology Dilatation and Dilation and curettage (D&C) is a minor surgical procedure curettage for where the opening of the womb (cervix) is widened (dilatation) heavy menstrual and the lining of the womb is scraped out (curettage). Injections for non Spinal injections of local anaesthetic and steroid in people with specific low back non-specific low back pain without sciatica. Dermatology Removal of Removal of benign skin lesions means treating asymptomatic benign skin lumps, bumps or tags on the skin that are not suspicious of lesions cancer. In certain cases, treatment (surgical excision or cryotherapy) may be offered if certain criteria are met. This policy does not refer to pre-malignant lesions and other lesions with potential to cause harm. Glue ear is a very common childhood problem (4 out of 5 children will have had an episode by age 10), and in most cases it clears up without treatment within a few weeks. Often, when the hearing loss is affecting both ears it can cause language, educational and behavioural problems. It must be recognised however, that not all sore throats are due to tonsillitis and they can be caused by other infections of the throat. General surgery Haemorrhoid this procedure involves surgery for haemorrhoids (piles). Chalazia (meibomian cysts) are benign lesions on the eyelids due to blockage and swelling of an oil gland that normally change size over a few weeks. Many but not all resolve within six months with regular application of warm compresses and massage. Orthopaedics Arthroscopic Arthroscopic sub-acromial decompression is a surgical shoulder procedure that involves decompressing the sub-acromial decompression space by removing bone spurs and soft tissue for subacromial arthroscopically. If not treated the finger(s) may bend so far into the palm that they cannot be straightened. However none cure the condition which can recur after any intervention so that further interventions are required. None is entirely satisfactory with some having slower recovery periods, higher complication rates or higher reoperation rates (for recurrence) than others. Ongoing and planned National Institute for Health Research studies aim to answer these conditions. Ganglion excision Ganglia are cystic swellings containing jelly-like fluid which form around the wrists or in the hand. In most cases wrist ganglia cause only mild symptoms which do not restrict function, and many resolve without treatment within a year. Wrist ganglion rarely press on a nerve or other structure, causing pain and reduced hand function. Ganglia in the palm of the hand (seed ganglia) can cause pain when carrying objects. Ganglia which form just below the nail (mucous cysts) can deform the nail bed and discharge fluid, but occasionally become infected and can result in aseptic arthritis of the distal finger joint. Trigger finger Trigger digit occurs when the tendons which bend the release in adults thumb/finger into the palm intermittently jam in a tight tunnel (flexor sheath) through which they run. It may occur in one or several fingers and causes the finger to lock in the palm of the hand. Vascular Vein Intervention Varicose veins There are various interventional procedures for treating interventions varicose veins. These include endothermal ablation, ultrasound guided foam sclerotherapy and traditional surgery (this is a surgical procedure that involves ligation and stripping of varicose veins) all of which have been shown to be clinically and cost effective compared to no treatment or treatment with compression hosiery.

Each State of Australia has an Optometrists Registration Act that controls the practice of optometry and is administered by a Registration Board symptoms 9 dpo order careprost australia. Currently the registration authorities in all states and territories accept graduates of Australian optometry courses and the University of Auckland for registration. All other optometrists are required to pass an examination before being registered. Whilst optometrists in Australia may use ophthalmic drugs to facilitate diagnostic procedures, in most states they are not permitted to use other drugs. In recent years, though, the legislation controlling optometry in some states has been changed to allow optometrists to prescribe a limited range of eye medications for uncomplicated eye conditions. Optometrists practising in these states undergo further training to allow them to extend their scope of practice in this way. Australian optometrists may specialise in providing care to particular groups of patients such as children or people with low vision; research; assessment and care of patients with perceptual problems; counselling on subjects such as occupational vision; educational problems that are visually related; or consulting in industry. This contrasts with earlier times when they promoted themselves primarily as sellers and suppliers of spectacles, although most optometrists still supply the patient with the items which are prescribed to assist vision (most commonly spectacles and contact lenses). Most Australian optometrists are self-employed or partners in private practice, although most new graduates work initially as employees of optometrists in private practice, with large optical chains, in public clinics and occasionally with ophthalmologists. Unlike some other countries, optometrists in Australia do not commonly work in hospitals and similar institutions. Most Australian optometrists make occasional domiciliary visits for bedridden patients. It is estimated that optometrists provide over 75 per cent of all vision care services in Australia. Orthoptists Orthoptics is an allied health profession that specialises in the diagnosis and management of disorders of eye movements and associated vision problems; performance of investigative procedures appropriate to disorders of the eye and visual system; and rehabilitation of patients with vision loss. Orthoptic treatment of certain conditions can relieve visual symptoms and enhance visual performance. In performing these functions orthoptists are an integral part of the eye health team providing investigative testing of diseases such as glaucoma, assessment and management of eye movement disorders (for example, following a head injury) and rehabilitation of persons with sight loss due to eye diseases such as age-related macular degeneration. Initial orthoptic education in Australia is currently through a Bachelor degree course undertaken at the University of Sydney (4 years) or at the La Trobe University in 32 Section three: the delivery of eye health programs and services Melbourne (3. Graduates are eligible for registration as orthoptists and membership of the orthoptic professional body, the Orthoptic Association of Australia Inc. This membership carries with it automatic recognition by private health funds throughout Australia. The Australian Orthoptic Board provides a register of accredited professional continuing education activities for orthoptists. Under state/territory legislation orthoptists are not able to refract and prescribe spectacles and visual aids in every Australian state. Following changes to Victorian legislation in 1996, orthoptists in Victoria are now allowed to prescribe glasses at the request or referral from an ophthalmologist or optometrist (where the request or referral has been made within six months before that measurement or prescription). Orthoptists work in many areas including neonatal care, paediatrics, rehabilitation, geriatrics, neurological impairment, community services and ophthalmic technology. They are mainly employed by ophthalmologists, low vision clinics or public health services such as public hospitals or community health services. Optical dispensers Optical dispensers (also called opticians or spectacle makers) make spectacles as prescribed by optometrists or ophthalmologists. The generalist workforce Anyone in the generalist health care workforce may be called upon to provide eye health care or to refer patients for eye examination. Generalist health professionals such as general practitioners, nurses, ambulance workers, pharmacists, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health workers and the Royal Flying Doctor Service often provide basic services and advice relating to eye health. Others such as occupational therapists and physiotherapists may detect problems that could be vision-related, and recommend eye checks. These include occupational health nurses, community nurses and hospital nurses who work in emergency departments. Nurses who provide care to unconscious patients have a particular responsibility to ensure that appropriate eye care is routinely undertaken to prevent corneal scarring and other vision problems. Optometrists can formally refer patients to ophthalmologists or other optometrists, with people needing surgery or treatment of eye disease being referred to ophthalmologists. General practitioners and other specialists can make referrals to ophthalmologists and optometrists: 7. Based upon this information, the number of ophthalmologist training positions appears to have matched the expected future growth in activity due to population growth and population ageing. The Specialist Re-Entry Program is an initiative which aims to increase the specialist workforce by supporting specialists who want to resume clinical practice after having taken a break. The program can assist in providing eligible specialists with a clinical placement as part of an individually tailored refresher program, and in providing? Workforce distribution One of the major obstacles to maximising the eye health of rural and remote communities is the dif? There are a number of Australian Government funded programs of relevance to eye health care delivery that aim to streamline the distribution of the medical workforce in Australia and address workforce shortages in rural and remote areas. The Scheme is administered by the Australian Government Department of Health and Ageing and is currently under review. The model will introduce multi-jurisdictional/national registration making it easier for doctors to work across state boundaries and allow public access to medical registration information. Rural and Remote Health Professionals Scholarship Scheme the Australian Government Rural and Remote Health Professionals Scholarship Scheme offers scholarship assistance to rural and remote health professionals (non doctor, non-nurse) to undertake continuing professional development opportunities, such as postgraduate study, short courses, clinical placements and conference attendance. These scholarships can be used to encourage health professionals such as optometrists, to enter and remain in the rural workforce. States and the Northern Territory Government propose posts for funding based on state workforce planning priorities and the training targets recommended by the Australian Medical Workforce Advisory Committee. As a result the program aims to support recruitment and retention of rural medical specialists. There is currently one ophthalmologist funded under this program, and there are proposals for involvement to continue in 2005. Eye health programs and initiatives the National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Eye Health Program the recently-reviewed National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Eye Health Program began in 1998 and aims to address the range of eye health conditions experienced by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, such as cataract, diabetic retinopathy, refractive error and region-speci? The Program is funded by the Australian Government to provide a regional model of eye health service delivery involving Regional Eye Health Coordinator positions. The model focuses on increasing eye health services within the context of comprehensive primary health care, by providing the necessary infrastructure and resources such as ophthalmic and optometric equipment in identi? The Program facilitates specialist access primarily but not exclusively to rural and remote areas. The Review highlighted the need to further imbed the Program into primary health care services, with a future emphasis on integration with services required to manage chronic disease and particularly the early detection and prevention of diabetes and its complications. Victoria Vision Initiative In 2002 Victoria introduced a Vision Initiative in partnership with Vision 2020 Australia as a three year pilot program for 2002?05 with the aim of preventing avoidable blindness and reducing the impact of severe vision loss for all Victorians. These include the Victorian Health Promotion Foundation, ophthalmologists, general practitioners, optometrists, and the Centre for Eye Research Australia. Under and un-corrected refractive error the main message for both the public and for eye health professionals is for regular eye examinations to detect and provide early treatment for these conditions. The key message is encapsulated as a part of a communications campaign with the slogan Save 40 Section three: the delivery of eye health programs and services Your Sight. Rural patients can have their eyes tested and glasses prescribed through a network of optometrists and ophthalmologists participating in the service. South Australia In general in South Australia, eye health is incorporated within an integrated health screening approach. Within the chronic disease management setting, retinopathy is recognised as a signi? Local diabetes networks include components of vision impairment prevention and promotion of eye health. Part of the testing regime involves checking for glaucoma and cataracts, as well as diabetic retinopathy. This was originally an eye health service funded through the Vision Impairment Prevention Program, but was expanded at the request of the Aboriginal community and is funded by the state as well as through other Australian Government programs. Eligible clients are entitled to a pair of reading glasses and a pair of distance glasses or a pair of bifocals every two years. The range of optical appliances is restricted to basic items and the high end of the market, such as graduated lenses or photosensitive lenses, are not included on the schedule of items to be dispensed under the scheme at reduced cost.

Your child will most likely blink a few times naturally treatment deep vein thrombosis purchase generic careprost canada, but try not to let your child shut his/her eyes tight or squint. To be sure you?re putting the drops in right, you may want to demonstrate the procedure for your doctor. Our son helps: he holds still, shakes the bottle, holds and returns the bottle lid and counts until he can rub his eyes. For example, after eye drops are used, encourage them to press on the eyelids and count to 20. Once glaucoma has been diagnosed and a treatment plan has been developed, one of the most meaningful actions parents can take is to learn how and what is seen by their child. Begin by observing how your child responds to the variety of everyday lighting conditions, including full sunlight, shade, night conditions and moderate indoor lighting. Functional implications refer to the way the surrounding environment is seen, which greatly infuences how your child acts or reacts. As discussed earlier, some common vision problems in glaucoma include photophobia, corneal clouding and visual feld loss. But it is important to anticipate potential problems and develop possible solutions. Frequently, a photophobic child will turn away from light or seek out the darker part of a room. Corneal clouding causes an irregular bending of light as it passes through the cornea. There are two types of visual feld problems found in glaucoma, peripheral (side) or central. With a peripheral feld loss, it may be helpful to teach your child to move away from an object in order to ft the complete image into their remaining central vision. With a central feld loss, a child may beneft from the magnifcation of an object to increase the size of the viewed object, providing a more complete picture. Observe your child during different activities and experiment with different light sources. For example, fexible gooseneck lamps can be directed on the task and positioned to avoid glare. Create an exaggerated contrast or difference between an object and its background. Black and white provide the greatest contrast, but other color combinations may be optimal, depending on the individual child. To see an object better, sometimes its image needs to be made larger by adjusting the distance to the object, such as moving closer to the television. Another option may be to increase the size of the object, using bigger print or enlarging pictures. With help from a low vision specialist, your child can learn various skills to compensate using their remaining vision. This can be especially diffcult and time consuming for the child with multiple impairments. Also, do not spend too much time on a visual activity without providing rest breaks. Auditory (sound), visual (sight), and olfactory (smell) stimuli need to be considered. This creates a comfortable atmosphere that will be helpful during the appointment. Special education services for eligible children are available from birth to adulthood, beginning with Early intervention. Early intervention is a program designed to assess the needs of children and to implement services to help the child and support the family. Early intervention can also help the child make the transition to an integrated preschool program. Contact the special education director of your school district fur further information. While it may seem like an exhaustive list, the more information you offer, the more prepared the school Special educations services for eligible children are system will be in providing available from birth to adulthood. Three weeks after her birth the cornea became enlarged and had a cloudy appearance?an indication of glaucoma. We were referred to a pediatric ophthalmologist who confrmed the diagnosis of congenital glaucoma. At the young age of three months she required eye surgery, a procedure called goniotomy. The object of the goniotomy was to try to normalize and control the intraocular pressure. When this surgery is performed at such an early age, the chances that the canal will heal over are high. Slowly over the next three months the pressure rose, prompting a second goniotomy. This was successful, however Kelsey still required medication and eye drops to control the pressure. For the next six years, we went to the ophthalmologist for pressure checks every two months. Elevated intraocular pressure had increased, giving no choice except to have trabeculectomy surgery. She was discharged from the hospital with intense follow up examinations and treatment. This involved four or fve doctor appointments a day, then one every day for about three weeks. We know that as Kelsey grows and learns about glaucoma, she too will be more able to participate in the detection of symptoms. Raising children with glaucoma is a challenging journey, but with proper treatments and awareness, we look to the future. Bring the siblings along occasionally for offce or hospital visits to help them have compassion for what their brother or sister is experiencing. The everyday interaction and activities between siblings is a wonderful Siblings?while needing support for their own pain and sadness natural way to encourage your can play an integral role. You may be able to go great lengths of time easily living in the moment, and not worrying about the future. As your child grows older, continue to encourage his or her independence and participation in self-care. She is a nationally recognized advocate for glaucoma awareness, and she received the Kay Gallagher Award from the American Council on the Blind in 1998. Born with glaucoma, Gena is blind in one eye, and has very little sight in the other. She became a stockbroker at age 22, and today she has two children and is a highly respected fnancial advisor managing half a billion dollars. Now, another major collaborative effort, Catalyst for a Cure, is redefning how glaucoma research is conducted and speeding the process of discovery.

Few of the resources explicitly stated what the information was about symptoms 8 days past ovulation discount careprost generic, what it would cover or who might find it useful. Such introductory content is important to orientate readers and allow them to make a judgement about whether the resource is relevant for them and their 12 circumstances. In its absence, consumers are left to infer the aims of the resource from its title and headings with a greater or lesser degree of accuracy. Even among the nine resources judged to be of higher quality, only four rated highly (rating of 4 or 5) on this particular item (Resources no. Given few resources explicitly stated the aim it was difficult to identify whether the resources achieved their goal. However, when allowing for the inference of aims from the title and headings of the publications, the majority of resources were rated moderately or highly (rating of 4 or 5) for this item. Of the nine resources judged to be of higher quality, all were rated highly on this particular item (Resources no. Judging the relevance of the resources included a consideration of whether the publication addressed questions that consumers might ask and whether the recommendations and 12 suggestions about treatment choices were appropriate or realistic. A large majority of the reviewed resources were rated moderately or highly (rating of 4 or 5) for this item, indicating that this is a strength of the consumer information on cataract surgery currently available. Of the nine resources judged to be of higher quality, all were rated highly on this particular item (Resources no. Question 4: Is it clear what sources of information were used to compile the publication (other than the author or producer)? Few of the resources included references to the sources of information used as evidence, or included a way to check the sources used such as a bibliography, reference list or the 12 contact details of experts or organisations quoted. This was true for the resources produced by individual health service organisations and the majority of those authored by professional bodies, condition-specific organisations and government agencies. The absence of references and other ways for consumers to check evidence sources is a limitation of the consumer information on cataract surgery currently available. Question 5: Is it clear when the information used or reported in the publication was produced? Assessing resources against this criterion included looking for dates of the main evidence 12 sources, as well as the date of publication and any revisions to the resource itself. Due to the low levels of referencing and evidence source identification across all of the resources, dates for the information used to compile the publications were also lacking. For a substantial minority there was no information provided, inferred or otherwise, by which a consumer could judge when a resource had been published. Of the nine resources judged to be of higher quality only three were rated highly (rating of 4 and 5) for this item (Resources no. This assessment criterion required a consideration of whether the resource was written from a personal or objective point of view, if there was evidence that a range of sources were 12 used to compile it, and if any external assessment of the publication had occurred. While very few resources presented information about cataract surgery in an emotive or alarmist way, the substantial majority were not rated highly for this item as the source of their statements were unclear or unreferenced. While some consumers would be likely to infer that information published by government agencies, condition-specific organisations and professional bodies would be more objective and unbiased, the absence of clear markers such as evidence sources may create unnecessary confusion. Of the nine resources judged to be of higher quality, four were rated highly (4 and 5) for this particular item (Resources no. Consumer information on cataract surgery: an environmental scan 9 Question 7: Does it provide details of additional sources of support or information? Providing consumers with suggestions for further reading or details of other organisations able to give advice and information about treatment choices is an important element of high 12 quality information. Including these details in publications assists consumers to find any additional information they need to make decisions about treatment and care. For consumers with cataract this could include referral to leading eye-health organisations and links to professional bodies such as the Royal Australasian and New Zealand College of Ophthalmologists. Of the 81 resources reviewed, 12 included this kind of information to guide consumers, indicating an opportunity for further improvement. The nine resources judged to be of higher quality performed moderately on this item with five rated highly (rating of 4 or 5) (Resources no. Discussing gaps in knowledge or differences in expert opinion about treatment choices is a 12 key way in which consumer information can acknowledge where there is uncertainty. For consumers with cataract, this may include information about when the optimal time is to have cataract surgery, as well as what artificial lens is most appropriate, whether procedures (laser vision correction and cataract removal) can occur concurrently, as well as differences in outcomes after surgery. Only 12 of the 81 resources reviewed referred to areas of uncertainty in a comprehensive way, showing room for increased attention to be paid to this element of high-quality consumer information. Of the nine resources judged to be of higher quality, seven were rated highly (rating of 4 or 5) for this item (Resources no. Providing detail about how a treatment acts on the body is a key piece of information 12 consumers need to understand their treatment options, and make informed decisions. For consumers with cataract this includes information about what happens to the eye during cataract surgery, including detail about how the procedure is carried out and what the patient can expect during that episode of their care. A substantial proportion of reviewed resources performed well on this item, with 27 of the 81 publications rated highly (rating of 4 or 5). Eight of the nine resources judged to be of higher quality also achieved a high rating for this item (rating of 4 or 5), indicating that this is an area of strength across the range of consumer information about cataract surgery (Resources no. Information about the benefits of treatment can include reducing or eliminating symptoms, preventing recurrence of the condition and getting rid of the condition, both short-term and 12 long-term. For consumers with cataract this comprises information about how vision will be affected by cataract surgery and the type of artificial lens used, as well as whether cataracts 2, 13 can reform and if there is a need for further surgery. While there is a large body of evidence about the benefits of cataract surgery in terms of 14 improving visual acuity and the capacity to perform activities of daily living, the majority of the resources reviewed did not make the benefits clear. This may reflect an assumption on Consumer information on cataract surgery: an environmental scan 10 the part of authors that consumers already know about the benefits of cataract surgery. Of the nine resources judged to be of higher quality, eight achieved ratings of 4 or 5 for this item (Resources no. Consumer resources that provide realistic information about these risks can help people make decisions about treatment in a more considered way. Risks can include side effects, complications and 12 adverse reactions to treatment, both short-term and long-term. For consumers with cataract, understanding the risks of cataract surgery is important for decisions about whether and when to have surgery. There was substantial variation in the extent to which the resources reviewed identified risks associated with cataract surgery, as well as in the level of detail they provided about frequency, severity and reversibility of the identified risks. This variability indicates another opportunity for quality improvement across the range of consumer resources on cataract surgery. However, of the nine resources assessed as higher quality, eight rated highly for this item (rating of 4 or 5) (Resources no. A high-quality consumer resource will include information about what would happen if the condition is left untreated. Understanding the outcome of having no treatment helps clarify what consumers can expect, and helps identify if not having any treatment is linked to an 12 outcome that is important for them. For consumers with cataract, information about what would happen if they do not have cataract surgery or choose to delay surgery can help them make informed choices about what health care they receive and when. The progression of cataract and its impact on visual 2 acuity is well understood, as are the strategies that consumers can use in the early stages of disease to manage symptoms such as new glasses, magnifying lenses or brighter 1 lighting. However, the majority of resources reviewed did not include a description of what would occur if cataract was left untreated. This was linked to the type of resource, with consumer information about multiple options being more likely to describe what would happen than consumer information about a single option. Six of the nine resources identified to be of higher quality were rated highly for this item (rating of 4 or 5) (Resources no. Question 13: Does it describe how the treatment choices affect overall quality of life? Treatment choices may involve major changes in lifestyle or circumstances or have effects on family and friends that consumers need to know and consider before making a decision. A high quality resource will include information about the broader aspects of treatment 12 choices on everyday life. For consumers with cataract these include short-term factors such as not being able to drive immediately after surgery. Few of the resources reviewed included a clear reference to overall quality of life in the information they provided. This weakness was also observed in those resources judged to Consumer information on cataract surgery: an environmental scan 11 be of higher quality with only three of the nine achieving a high rating of 4 and 5 for this item (Resources no. Question 14: Is it clear that there may be more than one possible treatment choice?
