“…Similarly, a study done in India reported prevalence as 9.8%. 8 This study is also in agreement with the systematic review and meta-analysis, 9 that showed the pooled prevalence of PROM was 9.2% among pregnant women in Ethiopia. In contrast, a multi-centric study in China, 10 showed a high prevalence of PROM to be 18.72%.…”

Introduction: Prelabour rupture of membranes is a common obstetrics problem associated with maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality. The exact cause is not known although various factors are found to be related to this condition. Hence, the objective of this study was to find out the prevalence of prelabour rupture of membranes among pregnant women in a tertiary care centre. Methods: This was a descriptive cross-sectional study conducted from 1 November 2021 to 30 November 2022. Ethical approval was taken from the Institutional Review Committee (Reference number: 2078/79/49). A structured proforma was filled out after taking a detailed history from each pregnant woman. Convenience sampling method was used. Point estimate and 99% Confidence Interval were calculated. Results: Among 700 pregnant women, the prevalence of prelabour rupture of membranes was 56 (8%) (5.36-10.64, 99% Confidence Interval). Among them, 40 (71.43%) occurred in the term, while preterm (before 37 weeks) occurred in 16 (28.57%) of all pregnancies. Previous miscarriage occurred in 15 (26.78%) followed by gestational diabetes mellitus 8 (14.28%). Conclusions: The prevalence of prelabour rupture of membranes was found to be lower than other studies done in similar settings.

“…Most cases of PROM occurred in housewives aged 20 to 30 years old. 8 Similarly, the maximum cases belonged to the age group 25-29 years 25 (44.64%). A study conducted in Nigeria showed the previous history of PROM, history of preterm delivery, low socioeconomic status, and genitourinary infection were highly predictive of PROM.…”

“…It is important to note that there are a number of causes of accommodative anomalies encompassing a wide range of ocular and systemic conditions including trauma, inflammatory diseases, toxicity, vascular diseases, medications, environmental factors, iatrogenic causes, and more [40][41][42][43]. It is not the aim of this paper to cover all of these, and a complete eye examination and thorough patient history is always recommended.…”

There are close to two billion individuals globally living with presbyopia. In spite of its ubiquitous and progressive nature, there is no widely accepted, formal guideline or consensus statement on the classification of presbyopia by degree of severity. A panel of leading eye care professionals representing both optometrists and ophthalmologists convened virtually to discuss and document their combined assessments from the body of literature and clinical practice expertise in this commentary. In light of emerging therapies, classifying presbyopia by mild, moderate, or advanced severity may help provide consistency of diagnosis among eye care providers and may aid in managing patient expectations with different treatment options.

“…In addition, people of short stature were found to have earlier onset of presbyopia probably because they use shorter working distances which may require greater accommodation. 68 …”
