          Abstract

          Resumen Objetivo: Evaluar la efectividad, la seguridad y la satisfacción del tratamiento con colirio de PRGF-Endoret en pacientes con ojo seco patológico, así como los costes de adquisición, elaboración y dispensación en comparación con suero autólogo. Metodología: Estudio observacional retrospectivo. Se incluyeron todos los pacientes para los que se prescribió PRGFEndoret entre febrero de 2019 y enero de 2020, para el tratamiento de varios trastornos con sequedad ocular como síntoma. Los datos demográficos y clínicos se obtuvieron del historial médico electrónico (Orion Clinic). Además, se realizó una encuesta anónima evaluando la frecuencia de varios síntomas, la efectividad, seguridad y satisfacción con el tratamiento. Resultados: Se estudiaron 24 pacientes. Un 62,5% eran mujeres, con una mediana de edad de 64 años. Un 79% habían sido diagnosticados de queratitis y/o úlcera corneal. En el 75% de los casos la evolución clínica fue favorable a los tres meses. El 100% de los pacientes estaban satisfechos. En cuanto a los síntomas, el 100% percibieron una mejoría en la sequedad ocular, el 80% en la molestia a la luz y el 60% en el dolor. El 50% de los pacientes había recibido previamente suero autólogo, de los cuales el 82% tuvo una evolución favorable con el cambio de tratamiento. Conclusión: PRGF-Endoret mejoró los síntomas del ojo seco en el grupo de pacientes tratado, siendo efectivo y seguro y proporcionando alta satisfacción. Los costes directos sanitarios son mayores que con la alternativa de suero autólogo, pero son necesarios nuevos estudios que evalúen los costes indirectos evitados y la calidad de vida proporcionada.

          Abstract Objective: To evaluate the efficacy, safety and costs of acquisition, preparation and dispensing of PRGF-Endoret eye drops, as well as patient satisfaction in patients with pathological dry eye. Methodology: Retrospective observational study. All patients for whom PRGF-Endoret were prescribed between February 2019 and January 2020 for the treatment of various disorders with ocular sequence as a symptom were included. Demographic and clinical data were obtained from the electronic medical record (Orion Clinic). In addition, an anonymous survey was carried out evaluating the frequency of various symptoms, the difficulty, safety and satisfaction with the treatment. Results: 24 patients were studied. 62.5% were women, with a median age of 64 years. 79% had been diagnosed with keratitis and/or corneal ulcer. In 75% of the cases, the clinical evolution was favourable after three months. 100% of the patients were satisfied. Regarding symptoms, 100% perceived an improvement in dry eyes, 80% in light discomfort and 60% in pain. 50% of the patients had previously received autologous serum, of which 82% had a favourable evolution with the change of treatment. Conclusion: PRGF-Endoret improved dry eye symptoms in our patients being effective and safe, with high satisfaction from the patients. Although evaluating direct healthcare costs is more expensive than the autologous serum alternative, quality of life and indirect costs should be considered.

            Use of the dry eye questionnaire to measure symptoms of ocular irritation in patients with aqueous tear deficient dry eye.

            To demonstrate the ability of the Dry Eye Questionnaire (DEQ) to characterize the frequency of ocular surface symptoms and their diurnal intensity in patients with Sjögren's syndrome (SS), keratoconjunctivitis sicca (KCS), and age-matched controls. One hundred patients with tear-deficient dry eye from Toronto Western Hospital were mailed the DEQ and the McMonnies' questionnaire (MQ). Age- and gender-matched controls were selected from an historical data set. The DEQ measured the habitual frequency, intensity, and impact of common ocular surface symptoms and asked questions about computer use, medications, and allergies. Sixty-two dry eye subjects responded; 30 with SS and 32 with KCS. Compared with controls, SS subjects consistently reported the highest frequency and intensity of symptoms, followed by non-KCS subjects. The intensity of symptoms was significantly greater in the evening than in the morning among SS subjects for all symptoms except dryness and light sensitivity (p < 0.05). Sixty percent of SS subjects reported the need to stop daily activities and close their eyes due to dryness, burning, and light sensitivity. Symptoms of ocular irritation were frequent and intense among SS and KCS subjects. These symptoms often increased in intensity over the day, suggesting that open-eye conditions affect the progression of symptoms. Measurement of symptom frequency and diurnal intensity by the DEQ provides a sensitive tool that may be useful in clinical treatment trials for dry eye.
