Abstract
PURPOSE To describe the benefits of optometric evaluation for detection of vision-affecting conditions in the context of community-based eye health screenings and identify factors associated with having a recent dilated eye exam. METHODS Enrolled participants were age 40 and older, living independently in affordable housing developments in New York City. Eye health screening failure and criteria for seeing the on-site study optometrist were defined as visual acuity 20/40 or worse in either eye, intraocular pressure 23-29 mmHg, or an unreadable fundus image. The optometrist conducted a manifest refraction using loose lenses and used a portable slit lamp and ophthalmoscope to perform a non-dilated anterior and posterior segment ocular health evaluation. Demographics, social determinants of health, eye health screening results, and rates of suspected ophthalmic conditions were recorded. To determine factors associated with having a recent dilated eye exam, which was the main outcome for this statistical analysis, a stepwise multivariate logistic regression was performed. RESULTS A total of 708 participants were screened, 308 attended the optometric exam; mean age 70.7 ± 11.7 [standard deviation (SD)] years. Among this subgroup, 70.1% identified as female, 54.9% self-identified as African American, 39% as Hispanic/Latino, and 26.6% Dominican ethnicity; 78.2% (241/308) had not undergone a dilated eye exam within the last year, 71.4% reported they did not have an eye care provider. Stepwise multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that participants who self-reported having cataracts (odds ratio (OR) 2.15; 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.03-4.47; p = 0.041), self-reported having glaucoma/glaucoma suspect (OR 5.60; 95% CI 2.02-15.43; p = 0.001), or spoke Spanish as their primary language (OR 3.25; 95% CI 1.48-7.11; p = 0.003) had higher odds of having a recent dilated eye exam. CONCLUSIONS This community-based screening initiative demonstrated the effectiveness of optometric exams in detecting vision-affecting conditions and identified factors associated with having a recent dilated eye exam. Optometrists play a vital role in increasing access to eye care for high-risk, underserved populations. TRIAL REGISTRATION ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT04271709).

Abstract
PURPOSE The Manhattan Vision Screening and Follow-up Study aims to provide access to eye care for underserved populations, detect native rates of ocular pathology, and refer participants with eye disease to ophthalmology. This subanalysis describes the reasons for referral to ophthalmology and identifies risk factors associated with being referred. METHODS Enrolled participants were aged ≥40 years, living independently in public housing developments and able to provide consent for eye health screenings. Those with habitual visual acuity 20/40 or worse, intraocular pressure (IOP) 23-29 mmHg, or an unreadable fundus image failed and were scheduled with the on-site optometrist. The optometric exam determined whether further referral to ophthalmology for a clinic exam was warranted. Those with an abnormal image or IOP ≥30 mmHg were referred directly to ophthalmology. Main outcome was factors associated with referral to ophthalmology. RESULTS A total of 708 individuals completed the eye health screening over 15 months. A total of 468 participants were referred to ophthalmology (250 had an abnormal image and 218 were referred by the optometrist). Those referred were predominantly older adults (mean age 70.0 ± 11.4 years), female (66.7%), African American (55.1%) and Hispanic (39.5%). Seventy percent of participants had not had a recent eye exam. Stepwise multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that participants with pre-existing glaucoma (OR 3.14, 95% CI 1.62 to 6.08, p = 0.001), an IOP ≥23 mmHg (OR 5.04, 95% 1.91 to 13.28, p = 0.001), or vision impairment (mild) (OR 2.51, 95% CI 1.68 to 3.77, p = 0.001) had significantly higher odds of being referred to ophthalmology. CONCLUSION This targeted community-based study in Upper Manhattan provided access to eye care and detected a significant amount of ocular pathology requiring referral to ophthalmology in this high-risk population.

Abstract
Purpose We evaluated the ability of an optical coherence tomography (OCT)-based reading center for glaucoma (ORG) to detect established glaucoma using OCT alone. Methods This study included eyes from 70 consecutive patients with established glaucoma (i.e. moderate or severe glaucoma according to the International Classification of Diseases [ICD]-10 guidelines) and 20 consecutive healthy subjects, who had no evidence of glaucomatous optic neuropathy (GON) or visual field (VF) loss in either eye. Using a standardized ORG quality assessment, 33 eyes were excluded due to media opacity (12), poor image quality (13), or epiretinal membrane (8). Of the remaining 147 eyes, 86 had established glaucoma and 36 were from healthy controls (total n = 122). Based on the OCT report alone and applying a previously described evaluation method, the presence of GON in each eye was determined by two masked ORG graders. The main outcome measures were sensitivity and specificity for detection of eyes with established glaucoma. Results Of the 86 eyes with established glaucoma (average mean deviation [MD] = -10.9 ± 7.7 dB, range = -0.5 to -31.5 dB), only one eye (MD = -0.46) was missed (sensitivity = 98.8%). However, the other eye of this patient was correctly classified as GON. Therefore, at a patient level, sensitivity was 100%. None of the 36 healthy eyes was classified as GON by the ORG (specificity = 100%). Conclusions An OCT-based reading center is able to identify eyes with established glaucoma using OCT alone with high sensitivity and specificity. Translational Relevance Our study validates the use of a systematic OCT-based approach for glaucoma detection in a real-world setting.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Postoperative acute ischemic stroke (AIS) is a catastrophic complication of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). There is limited data on the incidence and outcomes of AIS complicating CABG in the contemporary era, and whether these have changed over the years.
Purpose
To study the incidence and outcomes of postoperative AIS in a nationally representative cohort of CABG procedures over a 12-year period and examine predictors of AIS in patients undergoing CABG.
Methods
The National Inpatient Sample was used to identify all adult patients (>18 years old) who underwent CABG in the United States between January 2004 and September 2015. Multivariable logistic regression was performed to examine the associations between postoperative AIS and in-hospital mortality and identify predictors of AIS after CABG, expressed as odds ratios (OR) with corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CI).
Results
A total of 2,569,597 CABG operations were analysed. The incidence of postoperative AIS was 1.8% (n=47,279) in the overall cohort increasing from 1.2% in 2004 to 2.3% in 2015 (p<0.001). Significantly higher rates of AIS were observed amongst patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) and those undergoing non-elective or concomitant valve operations over the study period (see Figure). Patient risk profiles increased over time in both AIS and no-AIS cohorts, with higher Charlson comorbidity scores observed amongst AIS patients. AIS was independently associated with increased odds of in-hospital mortality (OR 3.03, 95% CI 2.93, 3.13) and prolonged hospital stay (∼6 more days) and a higher hospitalisation cost (∼$80,000 more) (p<0.001 for all). Several factors were predictors of AIS including age>60 years (61–70 years: OR 1.33, 95% CI 1.29, 1.37; 71–80 years: OR 1.49, 95% CI 1.44, 1.54; >80 years: OR 1.42, 95% CI 1.37, 1.48), female sex (OR 1.33, 95% CI 1.31, 1.36) and AF (OR 1.14 95% CI 1.12, 1.16) (p<0.001 for all). In contrast, on-pump CABG was not an independent predictor of stroke (OR 1.01, 95% CI 0.94, 1.09) (p=0.784).
Conclusion
In this nationally representative study, we have shown that the rates of postoperative stroke following CABG have increased over time in line with complexity of patient risk profiles. The present findings emphasise the need for further work on strategies to reduce the risk of postoperative stroke after CABG.

Abstract
Purpose Intraoperative radiation therapy (IORT) as a form of accelerated partial breast irradiation (APBI) is controversial given the limited evidence to support its efficacy. However, it remains an attractive option for low-risk patients with ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), who derive a small absolute benefit in local control with standard whole breast irradiation (WBI). We examine how the American Society for Therapeutic Radiation Oncology (ASTRO) APBI consensus guidelines (CG) may be applied to the preoperative selection of patients with DCIS for IORT and determine treatment outcomes by CG group. Methods and Materials We identified patients with biopsy-proven pure DCIS enrolled in an institutional prospective registry IORT database using the Zeiss Intrabeam® device between September 2013 and February 2017. Based on available preoperative clinicopathologic information, patients were deemed suitable, cautionary, or unsuitable for IORT according to the ASTRO CG. Change in CG group based on final pathologic diagnosis was determined, and additional therapy was recommended for unsuitable patients. Outcome in terms of ipsilateral breast tumor recurrence was determined. Results A total of 61 DCIS lesions in 60 patients were treated with IORT. Preoperatively, 21 patients (35%) were suitable and 36 (59%) were cautionary. Four (6%) were unsuitable because of lesion size but declined WBI. Final pathologic diagnosis changed the CG grouping of 10 patients (16%) because of either occult high-grade disease in 2 (3%) or close/positive margins in 8 (13%). Ultimately 12 patients total were considered unsuitable, of whom 8 (66%) accepted additional WBI after IORT. At a median follow-up of 2.2 years, ipsilateral breast tumor recurrence was identified among 2 suitable, 1 cautionary, and no unsuitable patients. Conclusion Further investigation is necessary to refine selection of patients with DCIS who may be optimally treated with IORT alone. High acceptance of additional therapy among unsuitable patients resulted in excellent outcomes. The use of biomarkers in addition to traditional clinical and pathologic factors may help to better select patients for IORT.
