  • Title: [A re-analysis of the Blue Mountain eye study on the risk of cataracts from inhaled corticosteroids. A contribution to objectifying the discussion].
    Author: Hartung J, Knapp G.
    Journal: Pneumologie; 1999 Sep; 53(9):411-6. PubMed ID: 10544649.
    Abstract:
    By a re-analysis of the Blue Mountains Eye Study of Cumming, Mitchell and Leeder, Published in N Engl J Med 1997 (337: 8-14), there is shown in the present article, that this study does not yield a contribution to clarify the question, whether the use of inhaled corticosteroids is associated with the development of cataracts. The conclusions of the study are revealed to lead to results contradicting known risk factors.
