| Abstract |
To examine the benefit of cataract surgery on visual acuity and vision related quality of life in patients with stabilized vision-threatening diabetic retinopathy. A total of 126 patients (153 eyes) who were diagnosed with cataract combined with stabilized vision-threatening diabetic retinopathy underwent phacoemulsification. Measurements included the best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), which was converted into a weighted logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution (logMAR) and vision related quality of life (VRQoL) using the Chinese-version low vision quality of life questionnaire (CLVQOL). Three months after phacoemulsification, statistically significant improvements were observed in postoperative weighted logMAR BCVA (Z = -9.390 P < 0.001). In all of the participants, the CLVQOL total scores (Z = -7.995 P <0.001) and four subscale scores including general vision and lighting level (Z = -7.400 P <0.001), mobility level (Z = -6.914 P <0.001), psychological adjustment level (Z = -8.112 P <0.001) and reading, fine work and activities of daily living level (Z = -5.892 P <0.001), all improved significantly after the surgeries. Linear regression analyses indicated that the increase in CLVQOL total scores exhibited a significant correlation with the better postoperative weighted logMAR BCVA, greater gain of weighted logMAR BCVA after surgery, bilateral surgery, and longer duration of diabetic retinopathy. Both visual acuity and the vision related quality of life of the patients with diabetic retinopathy improved significantly after cataract surgery. Cataract surgery is an effective intervention for patients with stabilized diabetic retinopathy. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 02 September 2017.
All research outputs
#17,913,495
of 22,999,744 outputs
Outputs from Health and Quality of Life Outcomes
#1,512
of 2,186 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#226,823
of 316,396 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Health and Quality of Life Outcomes
#37
of 59 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,999,744 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 19th percentile – i.e., 19% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,186 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 5.5. This one is in the 21st percentile – i.e., 21% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 316,396 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 23rd percentile – i.e., 23% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 59 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
