Elena Prokofyeva

Current Research Projects

  • Disease onset estimation in inherited retinal dystrophies (IRD) using an epidemiological approach, comparing age of typical visual symptoms onset and clinical signs in a variety of IRD for early differential diagnosis.
  • Evaluation of quality of life perception in patients with retinitis pigmentosa.
  • The study of natural disease progression and prognosis of inherited retinal degenerations.
  • Improvement of Ophthabase, a generic extensible web-based patient registry system, with respect to design and usability as well as safety issues.
  • Comparison of prevalence and incidence rates of eye diseases in Europe, studying risk factors for eye diseases in order to enable new preventive measures.

Methodology

  • Epidemiology,
  • Database studies,
  • Pharmacoepidemiology,
  • Patients related outcomes,
  • Biostatistics,
  • Public Health Informatics,
  • Literature reviews
