  • Pathologies rétiniennes : 100 études cliniques

    • 1st Edition
    • Maher Saleh
    • French
    Depuis quinze ans la prise en charge des maladies de la macula s’est transformée, avec en particulier l’apparition de traitements anti-angiogéniques par la voie intravitréenne. Devant l’importance des enjeux en termes de santé du patient, de coûts pour la collectivité et de charge de travail pour les ophtalmologistes, une tendance à la rationalisation est observée avec l’apparition d’une médecine basée sur l’évidence. Dans ce contexte, de nombreuses études incluant aujourd’hui des milliers de patients ont été réalisées. Face à ce foisonnement d’information, l’ophtalmologiste se retrouve rapidement « dépassé ». Cet ouvrage fait la synthèse et l’analyse de 104 études, publiées et validées, présentées selon un même schéma de rédaction : molécules étudiées, objectifs de l’étude, schéma thérapeutique, résultats et une courte bibliographie. Cette présentation est reprise pour chaque pathologie : DMLA, diabète, occlusions veineuses... Pour chaque étude, un «expert» commente l’apport à la pratique clinique. Il s’agit d’un outil de synthèse qui permet l’accès rapide et didactique à la médecine basée sur l’évidence, avec pour chaque pathologie :- l’accès rapide à l’information afin d’appréhender dans sa globalité le rationnel de traitement de la maladie et d’informer de façon précise le patient (gain d’acuité visuelle, nombre d’injections, comparaison entre traitements…) ; - l’accès à un corpus de connaissance antérieur à la date de formation des nouveaux praticiens ; - le développement de l’esprit critique en s’appuyant sur l’avis des experts qui atteste de la neutralité du propos ; - la mise à disposition, pour les praticiens confirmés, d’un thesaurus et du détail des études avec les références bibliographiques (gain de temps dans leur recherche).
