This Glaucoma National Knowledge Week (NKW) presents a collection of evidence that has emerged in the past 12 months since the 2006 NKW.
Scope - The term “glaucoma” for the purposes of the knowledge week is used to cover primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) and normal tension glaucoma (NTG). Ocular hypertension is also included here as it is a strong risk factor for developing glaucoma. Angle closure glaucoma, paediatric glaucoma and the secondary glaucomas are not covered in the scope of this Knowledge Week.
Searches were limited to the June 2006 to October 2007 and the findings are presented through a number of topics reflecting the care pathway.
The evidence has been categorised into secondary publications (systematic reviews and meta analyses), interventional studies (randomised control trials and clinical control trials) and observational studies. Links to the full text articles are provided where available and links to PubMed abstracts in all other cases. Links to the 2006 NKW pages are also provided.
