Child health clinic attendance during the first two years of life.

Attendance at child health clinics in three contrasting urban areas is described. Sociodemographic analysis of clinic attenders in the inner city area showed that families in poor socio-economic circumstance attended child health clinics more frequently than their more fortunate contemporaries during the first six months of life. Health visitor home visiting was a major determinant in clinic attendance rates.

Long-term follow-up of a prospective trial of argon laser photocoagulation in the treatment of central serous retinopathy.

In a prospective randomised trial of argon laser photocoagulation in the management of central serous retinopathy, long-term follow-up (6.4 to 12.1 years) revealed no evidence that treatment significantly influenced the visual outcome as measured by the Snellen chart and by the Farnsworth-Munsell 100-hue test. Treatment did not reduce either the recurrence rate or the prevalence of chronic disease. Complications of treatment were uncommon. The justification for argon laser photocoagulation appears to be limited to the hastening of symptomatic relief by earlier resolution of serous detachment.

Longterm results of treatment of central serous retinopathy--a preliminary report.

The longterm follow-up of 38 patients with central serous retinopathy who were recruited into a prospective randomised trial of argon laser photocoagulation is reported. They were reviewed at a mean of 9.3 years after presentation. The results support the original findings that treatment shortens the disease, but does not benefit the final visual outcome.
