Ocular Histoplasmosis and Idiopathic Neovascularization Data Forms

摘要

The Macular Photocoagulation Study (MPS) was designed to determine, by means of randomized clinical trials, whether argon laser photocoagulation is of benefit in preventing visual acuity loss in eyes with senile macular degeneration, ocular histoplasmosis, or idiopathic neovascularization and a neovascular membrane 200 to 2500 microns from the center of the fovea, and to document the natural history of these conditions. The data is collected in the clinics on MPS Study Forms and forwarded to the Coordinating Center for computer processing and statistical analysis. The forms included are for the initial visit, treatment and post-treatment (if the patient is assigned to treatment), re-treatment and post-retreatment (if the patient requires re-treatment), follow-up visits, missed visit, search form, inactive patient report, death form, photograph inventory, and Amsler grids.
