摘要: Purpose To evaluate the change in angle of deviation an incidence cohort pediatric patients diagnosed with intermittent exotropia during a 20-year period. Design Retrospective, population-based observational study. Participants All ( Methods The medical records all potential identified by resources Rochester Epidemiology Project were reviewed. Main Outcome Measures and its association treatment reviewed for each patient. Results A total 184 study period, which 138 (75.0%) had ≥2 examinations. resolved 5 (3.6%) median follow-up 9.2 years, while Kaplan–Meier rate increasing 10 or more prism diopters (PD) was 23.1% at years 52.8% 20 years. distance increased PD preoperative period 55 who underwent surgery mean 3.2 compared zero 83 avoided 7.1 probability undergoing within after diagnosis 74.0% this population.
