Macular Photocoagulation Study: Data Collection Forms for the Krypton Study for Parafoveal Choroidal Neovascularization

摘要

The Macular Photocoagulation Study (MPS) is a set of randomized, controlled clinical trials designed to evaluate the effectiveness of laser photocoagulation of neovascular lesions, secondary to age-related (senile) macular degeneration (AMD or SMD), ocular histoplasmosis, and idiopathic causes, with respect to prevention or delay or loss of vision associated with the maculopathy. Eligible patients are randomly assigned to laser treatment or to no treatment. Scheduled followup is for five years. Key committees are the Executive Committee, Data and Safety Monitoring Committee, and Clinic Monitoring Committee. The sample data collection forms in the document are those used for the randomized trials of krypton red laser photocoagulation for parafoveal neovascularization.
