    Abstract Background and objective: To assess therapies for cystoid macular edema (CME) following pars plana vitrectomy for proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR).
    Patients and methods: Retrospective analysis of 42 eyes developing CME after PVR surgery. Treatments included topical therapy, sub-Tenon's triamcinolone acetonide (STTA), intravitreal bevacizumab and combinations thereof. Best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) as well as central subfield thickness (CST) were tracked.
    Results: Mean Snellen BCVA improved from 20/598 to 20/297 (logMAR change -0.21; confidence interval [CI], -0.39 to -0.03; P = .03). Mean CST improved from 448 µm to 260 µm (CI, -248.70 to -126.06; P < 0.01). There was no difference in efficacy between treatment subgroups (analysis of variance, P = 0.16, 0.43), but STTA yielded statistically significant improvement in both categories (CI, -0.79 to -0.11; P = 0.01; and CI, -333.74 to 166.51; P < .01).
    Conclusions: Treatment of CME following PVR surgery is possible with a variety of different options. STTA appears to yield anatomical and visual improvement. [Ophthalmic Surg Lasers Imaging Retina. 2020;51:436-443.].

    Abstract Background: COVID-19 contagious health care personnel (HCP) who are self-isolating for a 10-day period increases burden to workforce shortages. Implementation of a 5-day early return-to-work (RTW) program may reduce self-isolation periods, without increasing transmission risk, during the COVID-19 pandemic.
    Design and methods: This observational cohort quality improvement study included newly diagnosed COVID-19 HCP at a multifacility health care system. The program allowed HCP to return to work 6 days after date of a positive test result if they were not immunocompromised, had mild and improving symptoms, and self-reported a SARS-CoV-2 antigen negative test on day 5.
    Results: Between January 4 and April 3, 2022, 1,023 HCP self-enrolled and 344 (33.6%) self-reported negative test results. Among these, 161 (46.8%) self-reported negative test results on day 5 and were eligible for early RTW on day 6. A total of 714 days were saved from missed work in self-isolation. The number of tests purchased, dispensed, and reported per day of HCP time saved was 4.4. No transmission events were observed originating from HCP who participated in early RTW.
    Conclusion: Implementing a 5-day early RTW program that includes HCP self-reporting SARS-CoV-2 antigen test results can increase staffing availability, while maintaining a low risk of SARS-CoV-2 transmission.

    Abstract Background: Incidence of health care personnel (HCP) with a higher-risk SARS-CoV-2 exposure and subsequent 14-day quarantine period adds substantial burden on the workforce. Implementation of an early return-to-work (RTW) program may reduce quarantine periods for asymptomatic HCP and reduce workforce shortages during the COVID-19 pandemic.
    Methods: This observational quality improvement study included asymptomatic HCP of a multi-facility health care system with higher-risk workplace or non-household community SARS-CoV-2 exposure ≤4 days. The program allowed HCP to return to work 8 days after exposure if they remained asymptomatic through day 7 with day 5-7 SARS-CoV-2 nucleic acid amplification test result negative.
    Results: Between January 4 and June 25, 2021, 384 HCP were enrolled, 333 (86.7%) remained asymptomatic and of these, 323 (97%) tested negative and were early RTW eligible. Mean days in quarantine was 8.16 (SD 2.40). Median day of early RTW was 8 (range 6-9, IQR 8-8). Mean days saved from missed work was 1.84 (SD 0.52). A total of 297 (92%) HCP did RTW ≤10 days from exposure and days saved from missed work was 546.48.
    Conclusions: Implementing an HCP early RTW program is a clinical approach for COVID-19 workplace safety that can increase staffing availability, while maintaining a low risk of SARS-CoV-2 transmission.
