Objective To describe the demographics, clinical profile, and outcomes of retinoblastoma patients seen in a tertiary hospital in northern Luzon. Materials and Methods This is a retrospective cross-sectional study of retinoblastoma patients at the departments of ophthalmology and pediatrics of a tertiary hospital in northern Luzon from 2005 to 2020. Results A total of 47 patients involving 53 eyes were included. Twenty nine (62%) are male and forty one (87%) had unilateral retinoblastoma. Mean age at consult was 24 ± 17 months, and mean interval from onset of symptoms to consult was 10 ± 11 months. Two (4%) had family history of retinoblastoma. Twenty-two (47%) patients had intraocular involvement. Leukocoria was the most common presenting symptoms at 62%. Overall survival was 53% with mean follow-up period of 24 ± 24 months. Difference in survival rates based on the extent of involvement was statistically significant (p < 0.001). Conclusion This is the first study that provided data on demographics, clinical profile, and outcomes of retinoblastoma patients in northern Luzon and the only study with data on clinical outcomes of retinoblastoma patients in The Philippines. Extraocular involvement is a significant factor in the low survival of retinoblastoma patients despite improvement in its management.

“…During SO tamponading, patients can experience hyperopia, as well as various pathological complications, such as epiretinal membrane (ERM), SO maculopathy, SO emulsification, SO migration, cataracts, glaucoma, corneal lesions, or re-detachment of the retina. [2][3][4][5][6] Corneal oedema is noted after SO removal in eyes with SO touch when the aqueous layer comes back into contact with the damaged corneal endothelium. 7 Sachdeva et al reported that SO is involved in the formation of proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) as an adjunct to retinal detachment repair.…”

Background/aimsThis study investigated the risk factors for epiretinal membrane (ERM) in eyes with primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) that received silicone oil (SO) tamponade.MethodsThis retrospective analysis included 1140 patients (1140 eyes) with RRD who underwent primary vitrectomy and SO tamponade. The prevalence of ERM was estimated and possible risk factors (eg, type 2 diabetes, proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR), SO tamponade time (SOTT), photocoagulation, vitreous haemorrhage, choroidal detachment, cryotherapy and retinal tear size) were analysed via multiple logistic regression.ResultsThe prevalence of ERM was 12.3% (140/1140), and the accuracy of preoperative ERM diagnosis was 40.5%. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that risk factors for ERM in eyes with SO tamponade included preoperative PVR (OR=4.336, 95% CI 2.533 to 7.424, p<0.001), type 2 diabetes (OR=3.996, 95% CI 2.013 to 7.932, p<0.001), photocoagulation energy (OR=1.785, 95% CI 1.306 to 2.439, p<0.001) and SOTT (OR=1.523, 95% CI 1.261 to 1.840, p<0.001). No statistically significant associations were observed between the incidence of ERM and other risk factors. Preoperative PVR showed the strongest association with risk of ERM. The risk of ERM was positively associated with SOTT, photocoagulation energy and preoperative PVR grade.ConclusionIn eyes with RRD that received SO tamponade, the prevalence of ERM was 12.3%, while the accuracy of preoperative ERM diagnosis was low. Preoperative PVR, type 2 diabetes, photocoagulation energy and SOTT were the main risk factors for ERM.

Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the perception of faculty of undergraduate medical and dental programmes in various private and public sector institutes regarding their Readiness, Attitude and Institutional support for developing high-quality one-best MCQs.Methods: A validated questionnaire was designed for recording demographic data and responses related to Readiness, Attitude and Institutional support based on 5-point Likert scale and multiple options. Scores for items on Likert scale were categorised (Readiness: poor 0-12, good 13-24, Attitude: negative 0-12, positive 13-24, Institutional support: no support 0-12, highly supportive 13-24). The individual and overall scores related to Readiness, Attitude and Institutional support were compared to demographic characteristics using Independent samples and Paired samples t-test as appropriate. Data was analysed using SPSS version 25.0. P-value of <0.05 (twosided) was considered significant.Results: With a response rate of 87.5%, the mean scores for Institutional support were higher (14.45 AE 4.73) compared to those for Readiness (13.39 AE 4.51) and Attitude (12.54 AE 4.59). Responses to multiple choice items revealed that faculty considered MCQ writing workshops to be effective while facing most difficulty in formulating scenario and homogenous options. Most faculty reported no commitment issues but desired on-job protected time for item development. No significant association was found between the scores and age group, gender, qualification, institute type, department and designation of participants. Conclusion:Overall, the faculty were found to be motivated and committed to developing high-quality one-best MCQs. With continued institutional support, faculty can be expected to further engage in writing such items.
