An interventional study of Strabismus surgery in Strabismus, Concomitant Squint and Divergent Strabismus, sponsored by Minia University. Completed at 1 site in Egypt. Open to participants aged 8 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2022-01-26.

Primary conditionExotropiaRegistry: StrabismusReclassifiedWhy we changed it
Registry
Strabismus — the first condition term the registry derived for this study.
ClinicalTrials.gg
Exotropia
Why
  1. The study's listed conditions name Exotropia, a narrower term within Strabismus.
Confidence
High: the new condition is named in the study's own listed conditions. Of 351 hand-checked studies reclassified this way, 68% were exactly right and 84% in the right disease family; the registry's first term was right for 5% (measured 2026-10-21). How we classify →
