Overview

Analysis indicates informed consent forms present high linguistic complexity and medical term ratios in ophthalmology.

Key Points

  • Consent forms revealed low readability levels, indicating they are difficult for general readership to understand.
  • Scores from the Ateşman readability formula ranged from 24.12 to 53.7, categorizing most forms as difficult.
  • Linguistic analysis showed high average words per sentence, ranging from 13.88 to 26.83, surpassing recommended limits.
  • Medical term density stood between 4.82% and 16.8%, contributing significantly to the complexity of the consent forms.
