Resource Utilization Among Glaucoma Patients in the UK Treated with Beta-Blocker and Non-Beta-Blocker Adjunctive Therapy: A Retrospective Cohort Analysis

ConclusionThis study suggests that the introduction of beta-blockers in a certain group of patients who later discontinue their use is associated with increased use of medical resources (higher number of GP visits and hospitalizations) in glaucoma patients in the UK, which may be indicative of a potential relationship between use of topical beta-blockers in glaucoma therapy and adverse outcomes.
