Does quality of care for gout in the US need improvement?
Suboptimal physician adherence to QIs was seen for all 3 QIs tested in this cohort of veterans with gout. These findings can guide quality improvement efforts.
In our study, patients with AMD improved VA and quality of life after cataract surgery. The same results of VA improvement after surgery can be found in the literature. However, no conclusions can be made concerning the progression of fundus lesions on a short term, though it seems that cataract surgery may accelerate the progression of AMD lesions 5 years after surgery.
