Abstract

Purpose: To create a computerized tracking software specific to glaucoma for the purpose of optaining instant statistical data, performing a standardized ophthalmic examination and establishing a follow-up protocol in glaucoma centers. Materials and Methods: The software with multi-user support connected to the central database was prepared to be specific for glaucoma patients. The Delphi program was used as the desktop application. Firebird was preferred as the da- tabase. The medical data of 7500 glaucoma patients were uploaded to the glaucoma follow up program. Results: Data-base analysis of registered patients data consisting of the diagnosis, visual acuity, intraocular pressure, vi- sual fields, optic nerve and nerve fiber layer analysis, gonioscopy, central corneal thickness, drugs, surgery, and concomitant systemic disease were easily obtained. The important benefits of the glaucoma follow-up program were easy and safe digital archiving, detection of diagnosis and treatment group datasets, observing the efficiency of the applied treatment algorithms, observing and checking the practice pattern of the residents, easy data collection for research, and the preparation of refer- ral information in chronological order. Conclusion: We believe that glaucoma specific-computerized patient follow-up programs are useful in glaucoma centers for standardized diagnosis, follow-up and treatment protocols, and instant statistical database access.

Özet

Amaç: Glokom merkezlerinde muayene standardizasyonu, takip protokolü ve anlık istatistiki veriler elde etmek amacı ile glokoma özgü bilgisayarlı takip programı oluşturmak. Gereç ve Yöntem: Merkezi veri tabanına bağlı, çok kullanıcı desteği olan glokom hastalarına özgün bilgisayar yazılımı hazırlandı. Masa üstü uygulaması için Delphi programı kullanıldı. Veritabanı olarak Firebird tercih edildi. 7500 glokom hastasının tıbbi verileri glokom takip programına yüklendi. Bulgular: Sisteme kaydedilen hastaların tanı, görme keskinliği, göz içi basıncı, görme alanı, optik sinir ve sinir lifi analizi, gonyoskopi, merkezi kornea kalınlığı, ilaç, ameliyat ve eşlik eden sistemik hastalık bilgilerine ait veri tabanı analizleri kolayca elde edildi. Glokom takip programı’nın kolay ve güvenli dijital arşivleme, tanı ve tedavi gruplarının kesişen veri kümelerini ortaya çıkarabilmesi, uygulanan tedavi algoritmalarında elde edilen verimliliğin gözlenmesi, eğitim alan dok- torların eğitim kontrollerinin yapılabilmesi, araştırmalardaki veri toplama işini kolaylıkla yapabilmesi, hasta sevklerinde kronolojik rapor hazırlanabilmesi gibi önemli faydaları bulundu. Tartışma: Glokom merkezlerinin tanı, takip ve tedavi protokollerini standardize etmek ve anlık veritabanı istatistiklerine erişmek için glokoma özgü bilgisayarlı hasta takip programlarının yararlı olacağına inanmaktayız.
