Abstract:
AIM:To investigate the factors affecting patients with post traumatic infectious endophthalmitis(PTIE)relieving from blindness.METHODS: A retrospective study was conducted on 169 patients(169 eyes)with PTIE from January 2010 to December 2020 in the department of ophthalmology, the Affiliated Hospital of Nantong University. After treatment of intravitreal injection of antibiotics(IVIA)and/or pars plana vitrectomy(PPV), the patients were divided into the getting rid of blindness group(103 eyes)and unilateral blindness group(66 eyes)according to the last follow-up of best correct visual acuity(BCVA)≥0.05. The factors affecting the patients to get rid of blindness were analyzed.RESULTS: The rate of relieving from blindness was 53.5%. Univariate analysis showed that BCVA before treatment ≥ hand movement, no retinal detachment, fundus grade of endophthalmitis < grade 3 and no strong virulence of infected microorganisms were beneficial for patients to get rid of blindness(P<0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis identified that BCVA before treatment ≥ hand movement(OR=0.253, 95%CI: 0.108-0.592)and no retinal detachment(OR=0.241, 95%CI: 0.103-0.564)were favorable factors for patient to get rid of blindness.CONCLUSION: Better BCVA before treatment, no retinal detachment, endophthalmitis fundus grade < 3, and no strong virulence of infected microorganisms are favorable factors for patients with PTIE to get rid of blindness finally.
