Surgical Outcomes for Convergence Insufficiency Intermittent Exotropia

Aggregating surgical success rates for 138 patients with convergence insufficiency-type intermittent exotropia who underwent unilateral rectus recession–resection surgery. It compares outcomes from two different surgical formulas over a 24-month postoperative follow-up period. The data includes preoperative and postoperative deviation angles and success rates for each patient group.

Use Cases

• Compare 24-month surgical success rates between the two formula-based treatment groups (Group 1 and Group 2).
• Analyze the reduction in near-distance difference (prism diopters) from preoperative baseline to postoperative 24 months for each group.
• Model the relationship between preoperative exodeviation measurements (distance and near) and postoperative deviation angles at various time points.
• Examine the temporal trend of esodeviation at distance and near from 1 month to 24 months post-surgery across the two patient cohorts.

Strengths

• Data covers 138 total patients from two distinct surgical formula groups (58 in Group 1, 80 in Group 2).
• Includes longitudinal measurements with a follow-up period extending to 24 months post-surgery.
• Contains specific clinical metrics such as prism diopter (PD) measurements for exodeviation and success rates.

Limitations

• The dataset is small (138 patients), limiting statistical power for subgroup analyses.
• As a retrospective review, it may be subject to selection bias and lacks the control of a randomized trial.
• The specific columns and individual patient-level data are not described in the input.
