Better visual outcome associated with early vitrectomy in the management of endophthalmitis
British Journal of Ophthalmology Mar 18, 2021
Welch S, Bhikoo R, Wang N, et al. - Researchers conducted this retrospective study to explore the role of early vitrectomy in the management of endophthalmitis from all causes. The sample consisted of 290 consecutive patients [151 (52.1%) women; median age at presentation was 70.4 years] diagnosed with endophthalmitis at Auckland District Health Board between 1 January 2006 and 31 July 2019. According to findings, early vitrectomy (within 24 hours) is correlated with better visual outcomes at 9 months, whereas younger age, poor presenting visual acuity and culture-positive endophthalmitis are related to poorer visual acuity outcomes.
