Visual field survival: the response to timolol therapy in open-angle glaucoma.

British Journal of Ophthalmology (1983)

W.E. Sponsel N. L. Dallas Laurie Burbridge

A simple method for quantifying visual field survival was devised to assess the progress of chronic simple glaucoma in 36 patients treated with timolol maleate over a 3-year period. Routine tonometric monitoring of the intraocular pressure (IOP) was carried out in conjunction with these Goldmann field studies. Statistical analysis revealed that field survival measurement provided a more consistent clinical guide to the progress of glaucoma under treatment than did IOP (p much less than 0.001). Timolol therapy was associated with sustained IOP reductions of 24.3-34.5%, and 63% of those treated who were monitored for field survival showed no significant field loss. The observed relationships of IOP to field survival are discussed.

Transaxillary sympathectomy—is a one-stage bilateral procedure safe?

British journal of surgery (1982)

William B. Campbell M J Cooper W.E. Sponsel R N Baird J.H. Peacock

Abstract During an 11-year period, 80 transaxillary sympathectomies were performed on 51 patients (hyperhidrosis 24, Raynaud's syndrome 18, Buerger's disease 4, others 5). Bilateral procedures under one anaesthetic were performed in contrast with previous reports which advocated unilateral operations only. The advantages of the transaxillary route over other operative approaches are discussed.

Ocular and systemic posaconazole(SCH-56592) treatment of invasive Fusarium solani keratitis and endophthalmitis

British Journal of Ophthalmology (2002)

W.E. Sponsel John R. Graybill H L Nevarez DT Dang

Systematic reviews (SRs) have been reported with increasing frequency as a means of collating studies which may have been performed over different period of times, in different geographical areas and by different groups of investigators. As SRs have become more common, quality metrics such as Assessing the Methodological Quality of Systematic Reviews (AMSTAR) have become available for these reviews. AMSTAR is an 11-point checklist that assesses the methodological and reporting quality of a SR. In clinical practice, direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) have been increasingly used for the treatment and prevention of both venous and arterial thromboembolism. We sought to evaluate the quality of SRs published on DOACs using the AMSTAR criteria. A comprehensive search of Medline, EMBASE and the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews from January 2013 to February 2019 was performed. Two reviewers independently screened titles and abstracts and subsequently full texts for eligibility. Data extraction was also completed in duplicate. Categories of extracted data included AMSTAR rating, journal of publication, year of publication, number of studies included in the SR, reporting adherence to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines, number of times the paper was cited and journal impact factor. A total of 3729 articles were identified, of which 250 were eligible for analysis. SR quality was highly variable with mean (SD) AMSTAR score of 5.68/11 (2.21). Reporting adherence to PRISMA guideline correlated with a moderate (5–8) or high quality (9–11) (OR=4.19, p<0.01) AMSTAR score. The methodological quality of DOACs was generally rated to be low-moderate, and improved adherence to AMSTAR methodological practices are strongly recommended.
