Ethnic background has an impact on glaucoma outcomes https://t.co/RjoCNOosR9 via @OTEurope

@ShafiBalalAI Thanks, Shafi! 😁

🚨New paper alert🚨

Do minority ethnic groups have different priorities for health outcomes in glaucoma?

Our study finds that ethnicity is associated with differing perceptions about the health outcomes that matter.

Find out in our latest paper @UCLeye @MoorfieldsBRC ⬇️⬇️

@nabiylarisfa @putrahanif Thank you kak @nabiylarisfa :) Goodluck with your PhD project, too🤞🏻

[Atika Safitri @AtikaSafitriMD]

Thanks to all participants in @Moorfields whose altruism made this research possible, funding support from @LPDP_RI and superb mentorship from my supervisory team🎉

[Atika Safitri @AtikaSafitriMD]

Patients with glaucoma, the most common leading cause of blindness, have different priorities for outcomes.

We found that Black/Black British ethnicity and other ethnic groups were much more likely to choose being free from using eye drops.

@andradjaafara I understand this feeling🤢😴

This work was only possible with the support from the @UCLeye @MoorfieldsBRC @LPDP_RI! Thank you to all patients who have contributed to this project. Grateful to my brilliant mentors for their support @gusgazzard et al! #glaucoma #PROMs #qualityoflife #PhDproject (3/3)

[Atika Safitri @AtikaSafitriMD]

Pleased to share our recent study on PROMs in glaucoma from a patient's point of view! With numerous trials ongoing in glaucoma, it's crucial that we focus on what truly matters to patients - discussing treatment options and selecting relevant quality-of-life measures(1/3)

[Eye Journal @Eye_Journal]

Treatment expectations in glaucoma: what matters most to patients?

To accurately evaluate quality of life in glaucoma, PROMs may need to assess both disease-related and treatment-related outcomes

[Atika Safitri @AtikaSafitriMD]

Glaucoma is a major public health issue as it is the second leading cause of blindness worldwide. It affects millions of people and significantly impacts their quality of life. There is no consensus on which QoL instrument is best for patients(2/3)
