20.500.12556/RUL-186918 Paediatric keratoconus an ERN-EYE clinical consensus statement on diagnosis, treatment and follow-up care This clinical consensus statement, developed through the European Reference Network for Rare Eye Diseases (ERN-EYE), provides recommendations for the diagnosis, monitoring and management of paediatric keratoconus. Paediatric keratoconus is a corneal ectasia that typically presents during childhood or adolescence, often advancing rapidly and significantly affecting visual development. Despite its impact, standardised paediatric-specific guidelines are lacking. A multidisciplinary panel of experts from across Europe contributed to this statement through a structured Delphi process. The consensus reviews the current understanding of the physiopathology, diagnostic criteria, risk factors and classification systems of paediatric keratoconus. It outlines strategies for early detection and monitoring, emphasises the role of patient and family education and presents current treatment approaches, with specific recommendations for paediatric care. The aim of this document is to guide ophthalmologists, paediatricians and associated professionals in delivering timely and appropriate care, improving outcomes for children with keratoconus across Europe. cross-linking keratoconus keratoplasty paediatric keratoconus rare diseases guidelines križno povezovanje keratokonus keratoplastika pediatrični keratokonus redke bolezni smernice true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2026-09-07 10:36:39 2026-09-07 10:36:44 2026-09-08 04:19:34 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2026 0 0 Str. 2825-2861 iss. 9 Vol. 15 2026 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 617.7 2193-6528 10.1007/s40123-026-01463-5 287886083 RAZ_Buzzonetti_Luca_2026.pdf RAZ_Buzzonetti_Luca_2026.pdf 1 A79CCD86D7F515C5336C6A02BB1DA390 bec6beece80990110b1be7b0e78770e50593ec5cd1f6c6d35e671e568536319c db2c2a58-aa97-11f1-8bc5-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=246309 https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s40123-026-01463-5 1 4149af8f-aa97-11f1-8bc5-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=246306 Medicinska fakulteta 0 0 0
