Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Hospital Medicine
  • Healthcare Management

Background:

  • Ophthalmology consultation services manage diverse inpatient eye conditions.
  • Understanding patient profiles and diagnoses is crucial for service optimization.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To characterize patients and eye problems evaluated by an academic medical center's Ophthalmology Consultation Service.
  • To provide data for planning and managing inpatient ophthalmology consultation services.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective, cross-sectional study of 1,472 inpatients.
  • Reviewed medical records and consultation notes from July 1990 to January 1997.
  • Collected data on demographics, consultation reasons, eye diagnoses, and hospital discharge diagnoses.

Main Results:

  • Internal medicine, surgery, and trauma services were major consult sources.
  • Decreased vision was the most common consultation reason.
  • Top primary diagnoses included refractive error, fungal endophthalmitis, conjunctivitis, diabetic retinopathy, and corneal abrasion.

Conclusions:

  • This profile of inpatient ophthalmology consultations informs expected patient types and eye conditions.
  • Data can guide the development and management of consultation services, particularly in residency training.
