Abstract

Introduction: Due to difficulties in attending direct patient care and to limit the spread of COVID-19, the Indonesian ministry of health encourages hospitals to establish telemedicine services. This study aimed to report the initial practice of real-time teleophthalmology during the COVID-19 pandemic in Indonesia.  Methods: This retrospective descriptive-analytical study collected data from patients who had teleophthalmology consultations within 3 months (April 27 – July 27, 2020). All consecutive patients were included in this study, except those with incomplete records. Patients’ demographics, the main reason for the consultation, working diagnosis, prescribed medication, management plan, and satisfaction survey were collected for the analysis.  Result: There were 251 video consultations from 206 patients with 4 patients (1.9%) excluded due to incomplete medical records. There were 52 (25.7%) new patients. The median consultations were 2 (1-8) each day. The median age was 43.5 (from <1 year to 95 years). The main reasons for consultation were dry eye-related symptoms and red eye. The three most common primary working diagnoses were dry eye syndrome, conjunctivitis, and stye. Medication was prescribed for 149 patients (73.8 %) and 43 patients (21.3 %) were advised to have immediate direct consultation. The satisfaction survey revealed a 21.3% response rate, of which 41.9% and 58.1% felt very satisfied and satisfied respectively. Conclusion: Real-time teleophthalmology consultation seemed to be well-accepted by our population in spite of its early adoption with a high satisfactory rate.

Abstract

Purpose: To compare plasma and vitreous level of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and placental growth factor (PlGF) in diabetic rats with poor blood glucose (BG) control, reconstitution of good BG control, and nondiabetic rats, and to investigate the effect of reconstitution of good BG control to VEGF and PlGF plasma and vitreous level. Methods: This is an experimental study using eighteen Sprague Dawley rats which were divided into intervention group (n=14) and control group (n=4). Intervention group were given Streptozotocin (STZ) injection to induce diabetes. After 4 weeks, intervention group was randomly divided into group I for termination and group II for reconstitution of good BG control with insulin for the following 4 weeks, and so was the control group. Plasma and vitreous samples were taken. VEGF and PlGF levels were evaluated with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Results: Seventeen of 18 rats survived in intervention group. BG level of intervention group II decreased dramatically to normoglycemia. ELISA at month 1 showed that VEGF vitreous level tend to be higher in intervention group I compared to control I, 196.36 ± 65.24 pg/dL and 123.64 ± 44.99, respectively (p=0.20). ELISA at month 2 showed that PlGF vitreous level of intervention group I were significantly higher compared to control I, 59.04 ± 2.48 and 51.93 ± 3.15, respectively (p=0.01). Vitreous and plasma VEGF of intervention group I and II were not different, while vitreous and plasma PlGF were significantly higher in group II. Conclusions: Vitreous levels of VEGF and PlGF were increased in diabetic rats compared to nondiabetic, and reconstitution of good BG control for 1 month were unable to reduce VEGF and PlGF levels.
