Are vision-targeted health related quality of life in older adults : patient-reported visibility problems in low luminance activities more likely to decline than daytime activities?
Older adults' vision-targeted quality of life as measured by questionnaire is more likely to exhibit a practically significant decrease over 3 years using a questionnaire that focused on low luminance activities (LLQ) than one focused on daytime activities (NEI VFQ-25). That the results of visual functional testing did not correspond to older adults' decline in self-reported problems in low luminance activities emphasizes the importance of questionnaires in understanding visual difficulties from the patients' own perspective.
In STEMI, the total ST-segment resolution 3 hours and T-wave changes at 48 hours after thrombolysis are the reliable predictors of the left ventricular WMSI improvement.
