Mulder VC, et al. - The researchers ascertained if postoperative aqueous flare values served as a surrogate marker for the development of postoperative proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR). It was determined that the flare values appeared to be a good surrogate marker with regard to the sensitivity and specificity for the development of postoperative PVR, both at 2 and 6 weeks postoperatively. However, they exhibited only a modest positive predictive value. The 2-week value would be more beneficial in the early detection of high-risk patients, yielding an opportunity to better study the effects of the therapeutic methods.
