Clinical dataset for idiopathic full thickness macular hole surgery. It defines the core variables for assessment, surgery and outcomes so services can collect consistent data for audit, benchmarking, research and service improvement.

This dataset provides a standard structure for recording information on patients with idiopathic full thickness macular holes. It covers initial assessment, operative details and outcome measures, including closure status and follow-up. Designed for routine use across paper and electronic systems, it supports comparable data collection for clinical care, audit, revalidation and research, while reducing variation in how information is recorded between services.
