Purpose:
To study morphology and treatment outcomes in serpiginous-like choroiditis (SLC).
Methods:
A retrospective chart review of SLC cases with ≥1-year follow-up. SLC lesions with elongated borders, thin body named dendritic (D-SLC), large lesions still with elongated borders named advanced dendritic (AD-SLC), and lesions with rounded borders, thick body called placoid (P-SLC). History, investigations, treatment response, and relapses were studied.
Results:
Thirty-three eyes [D-SLC (n = 14), AD-SLC (n = 13), P-SLC (n = 6)] of 24 patients were studied. Resolution on Fundus autofluorescence achieved at 8.6 months (Range: 4-12 months). 0/16 eyes treated with anti-tubercular therapy (ATT) and 4/11 eyes treated without ATT had at least one recurrence in (D-SLC + AD-SLC) group (p = .019). Mean best corrected visual acuity at final follow-up was 20/20, 20/25, and 20/60 in D-SLC, AD-SLC, and in P-SLC, respectively.
Conclusion:
P-SLC has poor visual prognosis compared to AD-SLC and D-SLC. ATT may prevent recurrences in D-SLC and AD-SLC.

Outcomes of Glycolysis
Cellular respiration can occur aerobically (with oxygen) or anaerobically (without oxygen). In the presence of oxygen, cellular respiration starts with glycolysis and continues with pyruvate...
Guidelines for Writing Outcome
Patient outcomes reflect the patient's response to the goal rather than what the nurse aims to achieve. Terminology should be observable and measurable to avoid the reader's interpretation. The desired outcome should be realistic and achievable in the designated care timeframe. Expected outcomes should align with adjunctive therapies. The outcome should enhance care...
