This study was designed to audit our own department’s understanding and practice with respect to cycloplegia. Methods: Children in age group of 0 - 12 years with refractive errors and strabismus were evaluated with respect to four parameters: adherence to cycloplegic refraction (group-I), choice of cycloplegic agent (group-II), dosage of cycloplegia (group-III) and duration of cycloplegia (group-IV). Following the initial audit, the hospital audit committee evaluated the results;thereafter concerned staff was educated and aidememoires of the dilatation protocol were introduced;a second audit cycle was carried out after 3 months. Results: First and second audit cycle included 334 children (mean age 6.2 ± 2.2 years) and 436 children (mean age 7.25 ± 2.9 years) respectively. A statistically significant improvement was found in all four parameters in the second audit cycle: adherence to dilation protocol (82.3% in first cycle to 94.3% in second cycle;p = 0.001), choice of cycloplegic agent (77% in the first cycle to 94.8% in the second cycle;p = 0.001), dosage of cycloplegic agent (84% in the first cycle to 96.3% in the second cycle;p = 0.001) and duration of cycloplegic agents (65% in the first cycle to 97.5% in the second cycle;p = 0.001 for CTC and 71.8% in the first cycle to 98% in the second cycle;p = 0.001 for Tropicamide). Conclusions: A complete audit cycle demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in all four parameters related to cycloplegic refraction in children. Regular auditing coupled with targeted interventions aimed to maintain the “best practice guidelines” for determination of refractive errors in children could prove effective in improving standards of clinical practice.展开更多
目的:系统评价环喷托酯和阿托品应用于近视儿童验光前的睫状肌麻痹效应和安全性。方法:在PubMed、EMBASE、Web of Science、The Cochrane Library、中国知网(CNKI)、万方数据库中检索自建库至2020-04发表的关于比较环喷托酯与阿托品用...目的:系统评价环喷托酯和阿托品应用于近视儿童验光前的睫状肌麻痹效应和安全性。方法:在PubMed、EMBASE、Web of Science、The Cochrane Library、中国知网(CNKI)、万方数据库中检索自建库至2020-04发表的关于比较环喷托酯与阿托品用于近视儿童睫状肌麻痹效果的相关文献。对于筛选出来的文献,经资料提取和质量评价后,采用RevMan5.3软件进行Meta分析。结果:本研究最终纳入9篇文献,其中使用阿托品者588眼,使用环喷托酯者592眼。Meta分析结果显示,近视儿童验光前使用环喷托酯和阿托品进行睫状肌麻痹后屈光度[WMD=-0.01,95%CI(-0.30,0.27),P=0.93]和残余调节力[WMD=0.22,95%CI(-0.13,0.58),P=0.22]均无差异,但环喷托酯不良反应发生率较低,更安全。结论:环喷托酯与阿托品对近视儿童的睫状肌麻痹作用相当,且安全性较高,可以替代阿托品对近视儿童在验光前使用。展开更多
