About this study

Official title: Prevalence of Ocular Manifestations in Inflammatory Rheumatic Diseases

This is a search strategy for determining the prevalence of ocular complications in inflammatory rheumatic diseases for the purposes of a meta analysis.

Read the detailed description

For the purposes of determining the prevalence of ocular complications in inflammatory rheumatic diseases, the following search terms were used: conjunctivitis, keratoconjunctivitis sicca, xerophthalmia, uveitis, eye hemorrhage, optic neuritis, papilledema, orbital disease, retinal artery/vein occlusion, macular edema, retinitis, chorioretinitis, scleritis, iridocyclitis, choroid hemorrhage, blindness and amaurosis fugax.

These terms were searched in the context of a corresponding inflammatory disease on Medline, Cochrane and Web of Science from their inception (1966, 1991 and 1990 respectively) until the point of study completion.

Studies were included if they provided numerical data of the prevalence or incidence of ocular manifestations in an inflammatory rheumatic disease. Studies were excluded if they were review articles, case reports where all patients experienced the same ocular comorbidity, if different comorbidities were not grouped independently, and if the study reported on fewer than 20 patients. When the same study cohort was used in more than one analysis, the most recent or largest sample-size study was included. The Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (STROBE) checklist was used to assess the quality of cohort, case-control, and cross-sectional studies.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Uveitis and Conjunctivitis, run by London Health Sciences Centre Research Institute OR Lawson Research Institute of St. Joseph's.

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 4 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 12 Apr 2022. 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?

Prevalence of ocular manifestations of inflammatory rheumatic diseases (time frame: data is collected once per year up to 2020). 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 12 Apr 2022.
