Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 50 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Patients operated on for combined cataract and idiopathic epiretinal membrane

Who may be able to join

  • symptomatic idiopathic epiretinal membrane operated on between April 2009 and September 2012 at the university hospital of Dijon, France.
  • All patients signed informed consent for the surgical procedure.

Who cannot join

  • Patients were excluded if they presented any cause of secondary epiretinal membrane (including diabetic retinopathy, vein occlusion, ocular inflammation, retinal detachment, or previously vitrectomized eye), high myopia (axial length ≥ 26 mm or spherical equivalent ≥ 6 diopters), severe media opacities with weak SD-OCT signal strengths, or any macular or optic nerve disease. Patients with a follow-up of less than 12 months were excluded and only one eye was included in those with bilateral epiretinal membranes.

About this study

Official title: Preoperative Prognostic Factors and Predictive Score in Patients Operated on for Combined Cataract and Idiopathic Epiretinal Membrane.

Retrospective interventional case series study reporting preoperative clinical and anatomical factors associated with visual recovery 1 year after combined cataract and idiopathic epiretinal membrane surgery. Age, duration of symptoms, and preoperative best corrected visual acuity appeared to be reliable prognostic factors. Combining these factors with analysis of the photoreceptors' inner and outer segments junction in spectral-domain optical coherence tomography provides a predictive score to estimate individual chances of good visual recovery

Being tested

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • a combined cataract and ERM surgeryProcedure or surgery

    All patients underwent a combined cataract and ERM surgery owing to visual impairment or disabling metamorphopsia. A complete ophthalmological examination was performed before and at 1,6, and 12 months after the surgery, including best corrected visual acuity with Snellen charts converted into the logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution, slit-lamp biomicroscopy, indirect fundus, and macular optical coherence tomography

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Best corrected visual acuity

    Best corrected visual acuity 1 year after the surgery, and preoperative factors associated with this visual outcome (age, duration of symptoms, initial best corrected visual acuity, and optical coherence tomography findings)

    Measured: 1 year after the surgery

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. To set up a predictive score for a >= 20/20 best corrected visual acuity

    To set up a predictive score for a >= 20/20 best corrected visual acuity, 1year after a combined cataract and epiretinal membrane surgery

    Measured: 1 year after the surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Epiretinal Membranes, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Dijon.

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 2 inclusion and 1 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 2 Apr 2015. 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?

Best corrected visual acuity (time frame: 1 year after the 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 2 Apr 2015.
