Trial summary

Prediction errors for the first (PE1) and second eyes (PE2) were obtained in the intra-ocular lens power calculation for 4 formulae (HofferQ, SRK II, SRK/T and Holladay 1). The optimal correction factor for each formula was determined as the one resulting in the lowest mean absolute error. Read more about this study

About this study

Prediction errors for the first (PE1) and second eyes (PE2) were obtained in the intra-ocular lens power calculation for 4 formulae (HofferQ, SRK II, SRK/T and Holladay 1). The optimal correction factor for each formula was determined as the one resulting in the lowest mean absolute error. A similar analysis was performed in the negative and positive PE1 subgroups.

Read the detailed description

Retrospective case series study. A retrospective chart review was conducted, which included demographics (age and gender) and several parameters for both the first and second eyes: surgery date, axial length, keratometric corneal power in 2 meridians, predicted intra-ocular lens (IOL) power recommended for plano target in each formulae (HofferQ, SRK II, SRK/T and Holladay 1), implanted IOL power, predicted post-operative refraction for the implanted IOL for the 4 formulae, observed post-operative refraction in spherical equivalent and post-operative best corrected visual acuity. The prediction error was calculated for the first eye (PE1) as the difference between the observed post-operative refraction in spherical equivalent and the predicted post-operative refraction by the IOL Master for the implanted IOL. This was obtained for the 4 formulae. The prediction error for the second eye (PE2) was obtained in a similar fashion. The optimal partial adjustment for second eye refinement was obtained subtracting a portion of the PE1 from the PE2 (PE2-xPE1, where 0≤x≤1) for the 4 formulae. The optimal correction factor was determined for all formulae by using an array of different proportions of PE1 that were applied to the second eye. The values ranged from 10% to 100%, with increments of 10% each.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cataract, run by Centro Hospitalar do Baixo Vouga.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 10 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 Oct 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Second eye mean absolute error (mean of the absolute value of the prediction error) (time frame: 6 weeks after date of cataract surgery). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 21 Oct 2014.
