Trial Outcomes & Findings for Bilateral Lateral Rectus Recession Versus Unilateral Recess-Resect for Intermittent Exotropia (NCT NCT01032603)

NCT ID: NCT01032603

Last Updated: 2024-02-07

Results Overview

A participant's intermittent exotropia (IXT) was considered to be a suboptimal surgical outcome if at any visit occurring 6 months or later, ANY of the following criteria are present by masked examiner testing: 1. Exotropia at distance OR near at any time during the exam (i.e., can be constant or intermittent; determined by a cover/uncover test) with a magnitude of ≥10Δ by SPCT, confirmed by a retest 2. Constant esotropia at distance OR near (determined by at least 3 cover/uncover tests-one must be before any dissociation) with a magnitude of ≥6Δ by SPCT, confirmed by a retest 3. Decrease in Randot Preschool near stereoacuity ≥2 octaves (≥0.6 log arcsec) from enrollment, or to nil, confirmed by a retest Participants who underwent reoperation (or treatment with botulinum toxin) without first meeting any of the above suboptimal surgical outcome criteria were also counted as suboptimal surgical outcomes in the primary analysis.

Mean exotropia control at distance was assessed in all patients who completed the 3-year visit. All 3-year visit data will be analyzed regardless of what treatment(s) a patient has received and regardless of whether the patient has undergone reoperation. Control at distance was analyzed as a continuous variable and compared between treatment groups using analysis of covariance (ANOVA) models that adjust for the corresponding baseline value (e.g. ANCOVA model of 3-year distance control will adjust for baseline distance control). Numeric values for exotropia control were assigned so that the following categories were created: Not applicable (no exodeviation) 0: No exotropia unless dissociated, recovers \<1 secs (phoria) 1. No exotropia unless dissociated, recovers 1-5 secs 2. No exotropia unless dissociated, recovers \>5 secs 3. Exotropia \<50% of 30-second observation 4. Exotropia \>50% of 30-second observation 5.

The prism and alternate cover test (PACT) is used to measure the angle of strabismus, or deviation, in prism diopters. This is measured separately at distance and at near. Smaller numbers are better because they indicate a smaller angle of deviation. PACT was assessed in all patients who completed the 3-year visit. ∆ = prism diopters; eso = esodeviation; exo = exodeviation

The prism and alternate cover test (PACT) is used to measure the angle of strabismus, or deviation, in prism diopters. This is measured separately at distance and at near. Smaller numbers are better because they indicate a smaller angle of deviation. Change is defined as the baseline value minus the 3-year value, therefore positive change = improvement. If the 3-year PACT is an esodeviation, change in PACT from baseline is the reduction in the exodeviation plus the amount of the 3-year exodeviation.

Timeframe: 3 years after enrollment

The prism and alternate cover test (PACT) is used to measure the angle of strabismus, or deviation, in prism diopters. This is measured separately at distance and at near. Smaller numbers are better because they indicate a smaller angle of deviation. PACT was assessed in all patients who completed the 3-year visit. ∆ = prism diopters; eso = esodeviation; exo = exodeviation

Population: Range of the mean was -14 to 40 for the BLR group and -6 to 30 for the RR group.

The prism and alternate cover test (PACT) is used to measure the angle of strabismus, or deviation, in prism diopters. This is measured separately at distance and at near. Smaller numbers are better because they indicate a smaller angle of deviation. Mean PACT was assessed in all patients who completed the 3-year visit. All 3-year visit data will be analyzed regardless of what treatment(s) a patient has received and regardless of whether the patient has undergone reoperation. PACT was analyzed as a continuous variable and compared between treatment groups using analysis of covariance (ANOVA) models that adjust for the corresponding baseline value (e.g. ANCOVA model of 3-year PACT at near will adjust for baseline PACT at near).

The prism and alternate cover test (PACT) is used to measure the angle of strabismus, or deviation, in prism diopters. This is measured separately at distance and at near. Smaller numbers are better because they indicate a smaller angle of deviation. Change is defined as the baseline value minus the 3-year value, therefore positive change = improvement. If the 3-year PACT is an esodeviation, change in PACT from baseline is the reduction in the exodeviation plus the amount of the 3-year exodeviation.

Stereoacuity scores (seconds of arc) were calculated based on the Randot Preschool stereoacuity test (scores: 800, 400, 200, 100, 60 and 40). Seconds of arc refers to the visual angle that is being measured in order to determine depth perception. Lower scores indicate better stereoacuity. Stereoacuity Testing: stereoacuity was assessed in current refractive correction using the following: Preschool Randot stereotest at near (performed at 40 cm): If stereoacuity is worse than 40 arcsec, it must be retested and the better of the 2 measurements will be used for eligibility. Distance Randot stereotest (performed at 3 meters)

Timeframe: 3 years after enrollment

Population: The total number of children/patients was split between two categories: younger and older, which is why the number analyzed is different between rows. 1 patient in the BLR group and 2 patients in the RR group were missing quality of life questionnaire data. Parent information was not missing which is why the total number is equal to number analyzed

Health-related quality of life will be assessed using the Intermittent Exotropia Questionnaire (IXTQ). This questionnaire consists of 6 components: 1. Child questionnaire - consists of 12 items which assess how the child feels about his/her eye condition. * One version for children aged 5 to \< 8 years has a 3-level response scale * The version for children aged 8 years and older has a 5-level response scale 2. Parent proxy questionnaire - consists of 12 items which assess how the parent feels the child's eye condition affects the child 3. Parental questionnaire - consists of 17 items which assess how the child's eye condition affects the parent. Has 3 sub-scales: surgical, functional, and psycho-social. All scales ranged from 0 to 100; higher values indicated a better quality of life. Sub-scales were not combined, but rather were each evaluated individually on a scale of 0-100.

The cumulative proportion of re-operation by 3 years was compared between treatment groups using methods similar to the primary analysis (i.e. using Kaplan-Meier method). A treatment-group difference and a corresponding 95% confidence interval were also calculated. Reasons for re-operation included: XT; XT and worsening stereo ; XT, worsening stereo and social concerns ; XT, diplopia, and headaches ; XT and squinting with one eye closed ; ET ; ET, worsening stereo, and diplopia; ET, worsening stereo and social concerns ; ET, worsening stereo, social concerns, and amblyopia ; Inferior oblique overaction

Suboptimal surgical outcome at the 3-year visit was defined as meeting any of the three suboptimal surgical outcome criteria at the 3-year visit (regardless of whether the criterion had been met at an earlier visit), or undergoing reoperation at any time. The three criteria for suboptimal surgical outcome were: 1. Exotropia at distance OR near at any time during the exam (i.e., can be constant or intermittent; determined by a cover/uncover test) with a magnitude of ≥10Δ by SPCT, confirmed by a retest 2. Constant esotropia at distance OR near (determined by at least 3 cover/uncover tests-one must be before any dissociation) with a magnitude of ≥6Δ by SPCT, confirmed by a retest 3. Decrease in Randot Preschool near stereoacuity ≥2 octaves (≥0.6 log arcsec) from enrollment, or to nil, confirmed by a retest
