Quality of Care in Patients With Newly Diagnosed Glaucoma
In this cohort study, patients with newly diagnosed POAG in the lowest wealth quartile were substantially less likely to achieve the US National Quality Forum's recommended IOP percentage reduction and considerably more likely to experience LTFU than those with higher wealth levels. These findings support the premise that clinicians should understand financial circumstances of patients when making management decisions and reinforce the need for clinicians and payors to find ways to ensure that patients can access IOP-lowering interventions and receive follow-up care in accordance with established guidelines.
