EUREQUO will give ophthalmologists outcome results in all of their patients
The next two years will see the introduction of the European Registry of Quality Outcomes for Cataract and Refractive Surgery (EUREQUO) in 16 countries across Europe.
The project will provide a network of National Registries reporting on clinical outcomes of cataract and refractive surgery, enabling participating surgeons to monitor their outcomes and compare their results with those achieved at other centres.
EuroTimes contributing editor, Roibeard O’hEineachain, spoke with Mats Lundstrom MD, EyeNet, Sweden about the aims and expectations of the EUREQUO project in September EuroTimes.
“There has been a growing interest in outcome data and in knowing what results we have. Clinical trials are necessary to actually know which treatments we should use when there are different options available. But in clinical trials you have very specific patients, there are a lot of exclusion criteria, and they may not tell us what will happen in the real world. Therefore we need something like this that will give us our outcome results in all our patients,” said Dr Lundstrom.
