Outcome of corneal transplantation: can a prioritisation system predict outcome?
The finding that patients who had a high preoperative priority score were more likely to have a good outcome suggests that the priority system was accurately identifying patients at greatest need for surgery. These findings also suggest that outcome from corneal transplant surgery is best measured as a combination of clinical indices and patient derived indices. A routine outcome assessment programme and prioritisation system can assist surgeons and eye banks in better case selection and in anticipating both objective and subjective improvement following surgery.
Induction of androgen-hypersensitivity after ADT may be involved in down-regulation of CAMKK2. This result may provide new therapeutic approach to keep androgen-sensitivity of PCa after ADT.
