EYE DISORDERS CASE CONTROL STUDY READING CENTER

眼部疾病病例对照研究（EDCCS）的目的是 确定几种眼部疾病的潜在风险因素， 目前缺乏足够的流行病学数据。 到 为了实现这一目标，已经选择了四个临床中心， 参与这项研究。 临床中心位于 波士顿，纽约，芝加哥和密尔沃基。 数据中心 位于马里兰州的贝塞斯达。 两个生物化学实验室 也参与：亚特兰大疾病预防控制中心和国家卫生 弗吉尼亚州维也纳的实验室。 EDCCS阅读中心， 位于波士顿，负责开发分级系统 用于评估眼底照片、对眼底进行分级 照片和血管造影片，将其评价提交给 数据中心，并合作编写手稿。

The goal of the Eye Disorders Case Control Study (EDCCS) is to identify potential risk factors for several disorders of the eye for which adequate epidemiologic data are now lacking. To accomplish this goal, four clinical centers have been selected to participate in the study. The clinical centers are located in Boston, New York, Chicago, and Milwaukee. The Data Center is located in Bethesda, Maryland. Two biochemistry laboratories are also participating: CDC in Atlanta and National Health Laboratories in Vienna, Virginia. The EDCCS Reading Center, located in Boston, is responsible for developing grading systems for evaluating the fundus photographs, grading the fundus photographs and angiograms, submitting their evaluations to the Data Center, and collaborating in the preparation of manuscripts.
