Oculoplastic surgery significantly improves patient quality of life. The Glasgow Benefit Inventory (GBI) confirmed positive outcomes for common procedures like entropion and ptosis repair.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Plastic Surgery
  • Quality of Life Research

Background:

  • Demonstrating patient benefit and cost-effectiveness is crucial for surgeons performing oculoplastic procedures.
  • Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) are essential for assessing surgical benefit.
  • The Glasgow Benefit Inventory (GBI) is a validated PROM for evaluating post-interventional quality of life.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess patient-reported quality-of-life benefits following four common oculoplastic procedures.
  • To evaluate the efficacy of entropion repair, ptosis repair, ectropion repair, and external dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) using the GBI.

Main Methods:

  • A cross-sectional study design was employed.
  • The Glasgow Benefit Inventory (GBI) was administered to patients post-surgery.

  • Data were collected from 66 entropion repairs, 50 ptosis repairs, 41 ectropion repairs, and 41 external DCR procedures.

    • Main Results:

    • All four oculoplastic procedures demonstrated statistically significant improvements in patient quality of life.
    • Mean GBI scores were: Entropion repair +25.25, Ptosis repair +24.89, Ectropion repair +17.68, External DCR +32.25.
    • The GBI scale ranges from -100 (maximal detriment) to +100 (maximal benefit).

    Conclusions:

    • Commonly performed oculoplastic surgeries yield significant quality-of-life benefits for patients.
    • The GBI is a valuable tool for quantifying patient-reported outcomes in oculoplastic surgery.
    • These findings support the clinical and patient-centered value of these procedures.
