The occurrence of retinal vascular occlusion was observed up to 60 days after the 1st vaccination date in the vaccination group, while 60 days from January 1, 2021, in the non-vaccination group. The risk of developing retinal vascular occlusion was compared between vaccinated and unvaccinated subjects. Risks were also compared among the different types of vaccines.RESULTSVaccination lowered the risk of retinal vascular occlusion, with an odds ratio (OR) of 0.80 (95% confidence interval (CI), 0.64-0.99; p = 0.039). For individuals aged < 40 years, the vaccination lowered the risk of retinal vascular occlusion occurrence significantly compared with those over the age of 40 (OR, 0.35 for age 20-39, 0.83 for age 40-64, 0.81 for age ≥ 65; P for interaction = 0.028). There was a significant difference in the ORs for retinal vascular occlusion among the four vaccine types (p < 0.001).CONCLUSIONSSARS-CoV-2 vaccination did not increase the risk of retinal vascular occlusion. However, the risk levels differed depending on the type of vaccine used. Considering the ongoing evolution of SARS-CoV-2 vaccines, it is imperative to conduct additional assessments of the recently introduced vaccines.","PeriodicalId":19607,"journal":{"name":"Ophthalmic epidemiology","volume":"27 1","pages":"1-9"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-09-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142256132","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Children with limited access to these interventions are more likely to have unaddressed visual problems that can lead to amblyopia or negatively impact school performance. This study compared vision screening results of children in schools with Title 1 or Non-Title 1 designation to investigate the link between poverty and vision.METHODSData from KidsFIRST vision screenings conducted with the SPOTTM photoscreener performed in Rapid City Area elementary schools were compared across multiple parameters. Students were referred for eye examinations based on identifying the following problems: anisometropia, anisocoria, astigmatism, myopia, hyperopia, gaze misalignment, or a combination.RESULTSOverall, eye exam referral rates have increased since 2012 (11.9% in 2012, 19.7% in 2023), with a disproportionate increase in referrals from Title 1 schools (25.2% in 2023) vs. Non-Title 1 schools (11.9% in 2023) (p < 0.001). This is largely due to a significantly higher prevalence of astigmatism referrals in Title 1 students (20.9%) compared to Non-Title 1 students (7.5%). Although a higher percentage of Title 1 students are reported to have eye correction (24.4% vs 16.6%), only a slightly higher percentage of Title 1 students wore eye correction during screening (11.5% vs 10.5%).CONCLUSIONStudents at Title 1 schools may have a higher rate of amblyopia risk factors. Additional eye care-based interventions should be taken to reduce the risk of amblyopia in this population.","PeriodicalId":19607,"journal":{"name":"Ophthalmic epidemiology","volume":"54 1","pages":"1-7"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-09-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142256136","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A natural language processing algorithm was applied to generate co-morbid sociomedical conditions for each donor. Variables of importance were identified using four machine learning models (random forest, Glmnet, Earth, nnet), for the outcomes of transplant suitability and endothelial cell density. SHAP (SHapley Additive exPlanations) values were generated, with beeswarm and box plots to visualize the contribution of each feature to the models.RESULTSWith a total of 23,522 unique donors, natural language processing generated 30,573 indices, which were reduced to 41 most common co-morbid sociomedical conditions. For transplant suitability, hypertension ranked the top overall variable of importance in two models. Hypertension, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, history of smoking, and alcohol use appeared consistently in the top variables of importance. By SHAP feature importance, hypertension (0.042), alcohol use (0.017), ventilation of donor (0.011), and history of smoking (0.010) contributed the most to the transplant suitability model. For endothelial cell density, hypertension was the sociomedical condition of highest importance in three models.
