Table 1 PICO framework for the study

From: Management, risk factors and treatment outcomes of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment associated with giant retinal tears: scoping review

Population

Studies which included patients ≥ 18 years old and surgically managed GRT-related RRD and reported at least one of the following outcomes: anatomical outcomes or functional outcomes.

Intervention

Surgical procedures to treat GRT-related RRD. scleral buckle; PPV; Combined PPV/scleral buckling; PPV with tamponade gas; PPV with silicone oil; Photocoagulation and scleral buckling; Primary PPV without scleral buckling, and pneumatic retinopexy.

Comparator

Not applicable. No specific comparison is needed.

Outcome

Anatomic success: SSAS rate, PAS rate, overall success rate, and FAS rate, which will be all reported as percentages.

Functional success: Change in BCVA from baseline (logMAR units) to final follow-up.

List of complications and risk factors: Number, type and severity of postoperative complications, common adverse events, and types of tamponades.

  1. BCVA, best-corrected visual acuity; FAS, final anatomic success; GRT, giant retinal tear; logMAR, logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution; PPV, pars plana vitrectomy; PICO, population, intervention, comparator, outcomes; PAS, primary anatomic success; RRD, rhegmatogenous retinal detachment; SSAS, single surgical anatomic success
