POPULATION  OF  INTEREST

All MWDs with diagnosis of ocular injuries.

INTENT  (EXPECTED  OUTCOMES)

• Survival from mechanism of ocular injury.
• Maintained structural integrity of the globe and associated cranial structures.
• Maintained visual integrity.
• Proper documentation of ocular injury event in MWDs medical record.

PERFORMANCE / ADHERENCE MEASURES

• Number and percentage of patients in the population of interest (deployed MWDs) that sustained an ocular injury.
  • Document how many of these MWD were wearing protective eyewear.
• Specify what component of the eye was injured, if possible.
  • Internal structures (such as lens, retina).
  • Globe (such as sclera, cornea).
  • Periocular tissues (such as conjunctiva, third eyelid).
  • Orbit (bony structures).
• Number and percentage of patients that required follow-on specialty ophthalmology care, if known.
• Number and percentage of patients in the population of interest (deployed MWDs) that recovered from ocular injury event.
  • Number and percentage of MWDs that returned to duty versus those that were medically retired following the ocular injury event.

DATA  SOURCE
