tailieunhanh - Angle Closure and Angle Closure Glaucoma (part 2)

Đồng thuận thứ ba được xuất bản dưới sự bảo trợ của AIGS. Như với các báo cáo sự đồng thuận trước, chương trình này có tiềm năng lớn cho các bệnh nhân tác động, cả hai cá nhân và tập thể. | FOREWORD This is the third Consensus Book published under the auspices of AIGS. As with prior consensus reports this one has great potential to impact patients both individually and collectively. Reports for this consensus were prepared and discussed using the same internet based e-Room system as used with the previous two reports. The Consensus Faculty consisted of the leading authorities in Angle Closure with representatives from six continents. These 110 experts dedicated their knowledge time and insight to the preparation of the reports between January 1 and May 1 2006. Prior to the meeting each of the AIGS member Glaucoma Societies was sent a draft of the consensus report for comment. Each member Society also was invited to send a representative to attend the consensus meeting. The report then was discussed extensively during the Consensus Meeting that was held in Hollywood Florida on May 3 2006. Reports and Consensus Statements were revised following these discussions. Consensus is based on the published literature and expert experience. While one strives to practice evidence-based medicine many aspects in ophthalmologic practice have not been subject or are not amenable to long-term prospective randomized controlled trials. Though expert consensus is not a surrogate for rigorous scientific investigation it does have value in particular where the appropriate evidence is lacking. Generating consensus in expert opinion for Angle Closure therefore aims to derive the most appropriate management for our patients and will highlight areas where further research is required.

Greve Executive Vice President AIGS But if you can assemble a diverse group of people who possess varying degrees of knowledge and insight you re better off entrusting it with major decisions rather than leaving them in the hands of one or two people no matter how smart those people are.
