Demographics and Clinical Characteristics of Ocular Inflammatory Diseases in Singapore

Active, not recruiting

• Conditions: Uveitis; Scleritis and Episcleritis; Endophthalmitis; Intraocular Lymphoma; Masquerade Syndromes

• Registration Number: NCT07176130
• Lead Sponsor: Singapore National Eye Centre

Brief Summary

This is a retrospective study analyzing demographics, clinical characteristics, treatment received, and outcomes of ocular inflammatory diseases that presented to the Singapore National Eye Centre (SNEC).

Detailed Description

This is a retrospective, cross-sectional study. In this study, the investigators aim to investigate demographics, clinical characteristics, treatment received, and outcomes of ocular inflammatory diseases, including masquerade syndromes such as ocular neoplasms (e.g., vitreoretinal and uveal lymphoma) and endophthalmitis that presented to the Singapore National Eye Centre (SNEC). Data on demographics, clinical features, diagnosis, investigations, secondary complications, treatment received, and outcomes will be analyzed using statistical software. The results of this study will lead to an improved clinical practice with better treatment selections and an optimized monitoring protocol for follow-up care for patients with ocular inflammatory diseases, including masquerade syndromes such as ocular neoplasms (e.g.,vitreoretinal and uveal lymphoma) and endophthalmitis. This will lead to better clinical outcomes and prevention of serious sight-threatening complications.
