Özet
PURPOSE:
To study the practice patterns for the management of acute postoperative and postinjection endophthalmitis.
DESIGN:
Retrospective, interventional, nonrandomized, multicenter study.
PARTICIPANTS:
Data on 237 eyes diagnosed with acute endophthalmitis occurring after intraocular surgery or procedures provided by 57 retina specialists from 28 countries.
MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:
Rates of pars plana vitrectomy (PPV), repeat intravitreal injection, and adjunctive therapeutic regimens (local and systemic antibiotics and steroids).
RESULTS:
Of 237 analyzed eyes, acute endophthalmitis secondary to cataract surgery or secondary lens implantation represented 64.6% of cases (153 eyes), whereas the remaining were secondary to intravitreal injections (35 eyes [14.8%]), PPV (29 eyes [12.2%]), and other intraocular surgeries (20 eyes [8.4%]). All eyes received intravitreal antibiotics on the same day of diagnosis. Overall, early PPV was used within the first week of presentation in 176 eyes (74.3%). There was no statistical difference in the proportion of eyes requiring a second intravitreal injection of antibiotics whether the eye was managed primarily with intravitreal antibiotics alone versus early PPV plus intravitreal antibiotics (29.5% [18 eyes] vs. 25.0% [44 eyes], respectively). Adjunctive therapies in the form of intravitreal steroids, systemic steroids, and systemic antibiotics were used in 25.3%, 21.9%, and 66.6% of eyes, respectively. The absence of disc or macular view and absence of endophthalmitis after cataract surgery were associated with an increased likelihood for early PPV (odds ratios 4.1 and 5.1, respectively).
CONCLUSIONS:
Pars plana vitrectomy was frequently performed regardless of the presenting vision in eyes with endophthalmitis after cataract surgery and intravitreal injections. Increased vitreous opacification was associated with a higher probability for performing PPV.
