TLDR
This study found male gender to be a risk factor for bleb encapsulation as well as other risk factors for encapsulated bleb development, as did two previous studies.About:

Journal ArticleDOI
The clinical effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of screening for open angle glaucoma: a systematic review and economic evaluation.
Jennifer Burr,Graham Mowatt,Rodolfo Hernández,Muhammad Ardul Rehman Siddiqui,Jonathan Cook,Tania Lourenco,Craig R Ramsay,Luke Vale,Cynthia Fraser,Augusto Azuara-Blanco,Jonathan J Deeks,John Cairns,Richard Wormald,S. McPherson,Kannaiyan S Rabindranath,Adrian Grant +15 more
TL;DR: The findings that population screening is unlikely to be cost-effective are based on an economic model whose parameter estimates have considerable uncertainty, which has implications for any future organisational changes in community eye-care services.

The Ahmed versus Baerveldt study: three-year treatment outcomes.
Panos G. Christakis,Jeffrey W. Kalenak,James C. Tsai,David Zurakowski,Jeffrey A. Kammer,Paul Harasymowycz,Juan J. Mura,Louis B. Cantor,Iqbal Ike K. Ahmed +8 more
TL;DR: Both implants were effective in reducing IOP and the need for glaucoma medications and the Baerveldt group had a lower failure rate and a lower IOP on fewer medications than the Ahmed group, but had a small risk of hypotony that was not seen in the Ahmed Group.

Original articleThe Ahmed Versus Baerveldt Study: One-Year Treatment Outcomes
Panos G. Christakis,Jeffrey W. Kalenak,David Zurakowski,James C. Tsai,Jeffrey A. Kammer,Paul Harasymowycz,Iqbal Ike K. Ahmed +6 more
TL;DR: The Ahmed Versus Baerveldt (AVB) study as discussed by the authors reported the 1-year treatment outcomes of the AVB study, where patients with uncontrolled glaucoma refractory to medicinal, laser, and surgical therapy were randomized to undergo implantation of an Ahmed-FP7 valve (New World Medical, Inc., Rancho Cucamonga, CA) or a Baervesldt-350 implant (Abbott Medical Optics, Inc, Santa Ana, CA), to be followed for 5 years.

Needle revision of failing and failed trabeculectomy blebs with adjunctive 5-fluorouracil: Survival analysis
TL;DR: It is suggested that bleb needling augmented with 5-FU is a safe and effective method by which a significant number of failed or failing filtration blebs can be rescued from failure and longer survival times are suggested.
Journal ArticleDOI
Selective laser trabeculoplasty.
Yaniv Barkana,Michael Belkin +1 more
TL;DR: Clinical studies suggest selective laser trabeculoplasty is efficacious in lowering intraocular pressure, as initial treatment or when medical therapy is insufficient, with response rates after 1 year ranging from 59% to 96%.

Journal ArticleDOI
Longitudinal data analysis using generalized linear models
Kung Yee Liang,Scott L. Zeger +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, an extension of generalized linear models to the analysis of longitudinal data is proposed, which gives consistent estimates of the regression parameters and of their variance under mild assumptions about the time dependence.
Journal ArticleDOI
Longitudinal data analysis for discrete and continuous outcomes.
Scott L. Zeger,Kung-Yee Liang +1 more
TL;DR: A class of generalized estimating equations (GEEs) for the regression parameters is proposed, extensions of those used in quasi-likelihood methods which have solutions which are consistent and asymptotically Gaussian even when the time dependence is misspecified as the authors often expect.

Epidemiologic Research: Principles and Quantitative Methods.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present an overview of the main issues in epidemiology research and propose a method for controlling extraneous factors in the context of epidemiological studies, using Logistic Regression with Interaction, Effect Modification, and synergy.

The Advanced Glaucoma Intervention Study (AGIS): 1. Study design and methods and baseline characteristics of study patients.
TL;DR: The main outcome of interest is visual function (visual field and visual acuity) and other important outcomes are intraocular pressure, complications of surgery, time to treatment failure, and extent of need for additional medical therapy.
