A total of 116 probands were orally counseled with a standard template of dialogs about the importance of family screening to motivate their siblings for a screening. One hundred and eighteen probands were randomized to receive SMC, bearing the details of the proband, sibling, and a message stressing the importance of family screening, in addition to oral counseling. We assessed the response rate in each group. Additionally, we evaluated the prevalence of POAG in the siblings.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A total of 95 siblings of 234 POAG probands were screened. The mean age distribution was 53.33 \u00b1 10.9 years (range 28\u201379 years). The male to female ratio was 3:4. The percentage of siblings screened was more in the oral counseling group (63.2%) than in the SMC group (36.8). About 43 (45%) siblings had some form of glaucoma, and 13.6% had POAG. An additional 22.1% were disk suspects, and 5.2% had ocular hypertension.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>SMC did not have an additional benefit over the standard oral counseling in promoting sibling screening. Our study stresses the importance of sibling screening in POAG probands. Targeting siblings of POAG probands with oral counseling may offer a relatively inexpensive way of detecting glaucoma.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.4103\/ijo.ijo_1346_22","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,12,6]],"date-time":"2022-12-06T08:53:31Z","timestamp":1670316811000},"page":"4158-4163","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Do motivational cards really benefit sibling screening of primary open-angle glaucoma probands?"],"prefix":"10.4103","volume":"70","author":[{"given":"Bharat","family":"Gurnani","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Cataract Cornea and Refractive Services, Dr Om Parkash Eye Institute, Amritsar, Punjab, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kavitha","family":"Srinivasan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Glaucoma Services, Aravind Eye Hospital and Post Graduate Institute of Ophthalmology, Amritsar, Punjab, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rengaraj","family":"Venkatesh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Glaucoma Services, Aravind Eye Hospital and Post Graduate Institute of Ophthalmology, Amritsar, Punjab, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kirandeep","family":"Kaur","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Cataract, Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus Services, Dr. Om Parkash Eye Institute, Amritsar, Punjab, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,11,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"R1-20251006","first-page":"844","article-title":"Global data on visual impairment in the year 2002","volume":"82","author":"Resnikoff","year":"2004","journal-title":"Bull World Health Organ"},{"key":"R2-20251006","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2081","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ophtha.2014.05.013","article-title":"Global prevalence of glaucoma and projections of glaucoma burden through 2040:A systematic review and meta-analysis","volume":"121","author":"Tham","year":"2014","journal-title":"Ophthalmology"},{"key":"R3-20251006","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"4461","DOI":"10.1167\/iovs.04-1529","article-title":"Prevalence of open-angle glaucoma in a rural south Indian population","volume":"46","author":"Vijaya","year":"2005","journal-title":"Invest Ophthalmol Vis Sci"},{"issue":"Suppl 1","key":"R4-20251006","first-page":"S11","article-title":"Importance of population-based studies in clinical practice","volume":"59","author":"Ronnie","year":"2011","journal-title":"Indian J Ophthalmol"},{"key":"R5-20251006","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"107","DOI":"10.5005\/jp-journals-10008-1172","article-title":"Screening first degree relatives of persons with primary open angle glaucoma in India","volume":"8","author":"Rajendrababu","year":"2014","journal-title":"J Curr Glaucoma Pract"},{"key":"R6-20251006","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"534","DOI":"10.1097\/01.ijg.0000212282.88347.c9","article-title":"Glaucoma screening in a high-risk population","volume":"15","author":"Vistamehr","year":"2006","journal-title":"J Glaucoma"},{"key":"R7-20251006","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"312","DOI":"10.5694\/j.1326-5377.2008.tb01630.x","article-title":"Primary open-angle glaucoma:The importance of family history and role of intraocular pressure","volume":"188","author":"Zegers","year":"2008","journal-title":"Med J Aust"},{"key":"R8-20251006","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"239","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ajo.2018.03.014","article-title":"Family history in the primary open-angle African American glaucoma genetics study cohort","volume":"192","author":"O'Brien","year":"2018","journal-title":"Am J Ophthalmol"},{"key":"R9-20251006","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"437","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ajo.2014.11.023","article-title":"Involvement of genetic variants associated with primary open-angle glaucoma in pathogenic mechanisms and family history of glaucoma","volume":"159","author":"Mabuchi","year":"2015","journal-title":"Am J Ophthalmol"},{"key":"R10-20251006","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1487","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ophtha.2005.04.018","article-title":"Incidence of open-angle glaucoma in a general elderly population:The Rotterdam study","volume":"112","author":"de Voogd","year":"2005","journal-title":"Ophthalmology"},{"key":"R11-20251006","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"69","DOI":"10.1001\/archopht.1994.01090130079022","article-title":"Family history and risk of primary open angle glaucoma.
