Association of Age-adjusted Charlson Comorbidity Index With Orbital Fungal Disease Outcomes

Anna C. Kupcha et al.

Summary: This study aimed to determine the correlation between age-adjusted Charlson comorbidity index (age-CCI) and mortality in sino-orbital fungal disease patients. The study analyzed medical records from two academic institutions and found a significant association between age-CCI and fungal-related mortality.

Endophthalmitis Rates among Medicare Beneficiaries Undergoing Cataract Surgery between 2011 and 2019

Sidra Zafar et al.

Summary: This retrospective analysis aimed to determine the national incidence and risk factors associated with developing endophthalmitis after cataract surgery in the United States between 2011 and 2019. The study found that the overall 90-day postoperative endophthalmitis rate was 1.36 per 1000 cataract surgeries. Factors such as patient age, gender, race, and Charlson Comorbidity Index were associated with the risk of developing endophthalmitis.

Disparities in Visual Acuity Outcomes after Endothelial Keratoplasty An Intelligent Research in Sight Registry Analysis

Divya Srikumaran et al.

Summary: This study assessed risk factors for poor visual outcomes after EK surgery. The results showed that postoperative rebubbling and repeat keratoplasties were associated with worse visual outcomes, while older age and female gender were associated with poorer visual outcomes in the FECD subgroup.

Risk Factors for Repeat Keratoplasty After Endothelial Keratoplasty An IRIS Registry Analysis

Hyeck-Soo Son et al.

Summary: This study retrospectively identified risk factors for repeat keratoplasty after endothelial keratoplasty (EK). It found that black race, government-based insurance plans, and smoking were associated with an increased risk of undergoing repeat keratoplasty, along with a history of glaucoma, glaucoma surgery, and prior graft failure or bullous keratopathy as surgical indications.

Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy: The vicious cycle of Fuchs pathogenesis

Stephan Ong Tone et al.

Summary: Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy (FECD) is the most common primary corneal endothelial dystrophy characterized by the decline of corneal endothelial cells and the formation of extracellular matrix excrescences, leading to corneal edema and loss of vision. It is a complex and heterogeneous genetic disease with a higher incidence in women, caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors.

Risk Factors for Repeat Keratoplasty after Endothelial Keratoplasty in the Medicare Population

Sidra Zafar et al.

Summary: Evaluation of long-term rates of repeated keratoplasty after endothelial keratoplasty revealed that blacks or Asians, comorbid glaucoma, concurrent or prior glaucoma surgery, and lower volumes of surgery are associated with increased risk of repeated keratoplasty. Racial disparities identified in this study warrant further investigation.
