Only four projects were not related to trauma (3 general surgery and 1 ophthalmology).
The 11 outpatient clinics included the following specialties: Internal medicine (2 clinics), general surgery (2), orthopaedic surgery (1 clinic), rheumatology (1), neurology (1), ophthalmology (1), paediatrics (1), gynaecology and obstetrics (1), and ear, nose and throat (1).
Of those interested in other specialties, the five most popular areas of interest included emergency medicine (n = 11/32, 34.4%), general medicine (including all sub-specialties) (n = 5/32, 15.6%), obstetrics & gynaecology (n = 3/32, 9.4%), ophthalmology (n = 3/32, 9.4%) and paediatrics (3/32, 9.4%).
A review was conducted of the medical records of 1,496 patients who had undergone elective orthopedics (26.3%), gynecology (24.9%), ophthalmology (6.2%), otolaryngology (16.6%), and general surgery (26.0%).
Surgery (43.3%) was the most common field, followed by Internal Medicine (30.7%), Pediatrics (8.0%), Gynecology and Obstetrics (4.3%), Psychiatry (3.4%), Anesthesiology (3.1%), Radiology (1.9%), Otolaryngology (1.5%), Ophthalmology (0.9%) and Orthopedics (0.6%).
In thoracic surgery 78% of patient care [ 2], in general medicine 82% [ 3], in general surgery 95% [ 4], in paediatric medicine 75% [ 5], in ophthalmology 77% [ 6], and in anaesthesia 97% [ 7] of care is purported to be evidence-based.
Controls were recruited from outpatient and inpatient departments (dental, 1.6%; ear, nose, and throat, 1.6%; ophthalmology, 25.6%; general medicine, 56%; obstetrics and gynecology, 7.2%; orthopedics, 2.4%; skin, 1.6%; surgery, 3.2%; and psychiatry, 0.8%) at the MTH, in the same months when cases were identified.
To compare 8 ophthalmology resident surgical training tools to determine which is most cost effective.
Applications for clinicians in orthopedic surgery [2], ophthalmology [9, 10], and radiology [11] have already been reported as well as apps for students in medical education [6].
This study aims to assess the effectiveness of a new method for introducing postgraduate year (PGY -3 oPGY -3mophthalmologyts to cataresidentsery.
Clinical data were obtained from 13 providers at 11 ophthalmology clinics in 9 different countries relating to 49 patients and 62 eyes with a diagnosis of tuberculosis associated optic neuropathy.
