“…14 Most patients with post-cataract surgery endophthalmitis appeared with acute onset and within seven days after surgery, although in many cases it can occur later, especially in cases with causative agent such as fungal. 6,7,14 In this study, the onset were mostly found within <7 days (57.1%). Visual outcomes for those with onset ≤7 days 58.3% had better final VA, while cases with onset >7 dayss only 33.3% could get visual improvement.…”

Background: Endophthalmitis is one of the emergencies in ophthalmology and can cause blindness. The most common cause of endophthalmitis in intraocular surgery is cataract surgery. Immediate diagnosis and treatment can provide optimal final vision. This research aimed to describe the demographic data, and causative microorganisms, as well as the success rate of visual outcome after pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) in post-cataract surgery endophthalmitis in Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital. Methods: A retrospective descriptive study of post-cataract surgery endophthalmitis underwent vitrectomy in Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital, Indonesia, from January 2017 - June 2017. Results: There were twenty one cases of post-cataract surgery endophthalmitis undergoes PPV within the period of January 2017-June 2017. The most frequently identified causative microorganism was Staphylococcus (23%). There was an improvement of visual acuity after PPV procedure in 47,6% post-cataract surgery endophthalmitis. Conclusion: Immediate PPV is an effective treatment and leads to vision improvement in post-cataract surgery endophthalmitis. Keywords: pars plana vitrectomy, endophthalmitis, cataract surgery

“…5 Although EVS reported that immediate vitrectomy in endophthalmitis was only useful in cases with initial VA worse than LP, several recent studies have reported the benefits of immediate vitrectomy in cases of post-cataract surgery endophthalmitis. 5,13,14,15 In addition, Jeong et al…”

“…In Malaysia, a cohort from 2008 to 2014 reported an incidence of 0.08% [12] . In Brazil, in a study conducted between 2008 and 2014, after more than 27,000 cataract surgeries, the incidence was 0.13%, with an annual variation of 0.04% to 0.27% [2] . Another Brazilian study conducted in a northern Brazilian state found that after 3,999 procedures performed in 2013 and 2014 in joint efforts, 1.67% had perioperative or postoperative complications [13] .…”

Background: Endophthalmitis is one of the most important adverse events after cataract surgery as it can lead to total vision loss. The aim of this study was to describe the occurrence of endophthalmitis after phacoemulsification with intraocular lens implantation among patients assisted during a joint effort in Porto Velho, Rondonia, Brazil. Method: This is a retrospective cohort study, carried out from a bank with 649 medical records of patients who underwent surgery. Descriptive analysis and multiple analysis using Robust Poisson Regression were performed to estimate relative risks (RR) and 95% confidence intervals (95%CI). A statistical analysis was performed using the statistical program Stata version 16.0 (College Station, Texas, USA). Results: The incidence of postoperative endophthalmitis confirmed by culture was 10.88%, the highest ever recorded in the world. A higher risk for endophthalmitis was found, in probable cases, among males (RR: 1.88; 95%CI:1.03; 3.44) and brown and yellow skin color (RR: 2.78; 95 %CI %: 1.17; 6.60). For confirmed and probable cases, bilateral surgery and specific lens model were also risk factors. The predominant etiological agents were gram-negative and the main clinical manifestation was corneal edema. The average number of days to start treatment was eight days and 27.12% used antibiotics. Conclusion: Specific protocols are needed for cataract surgeries that encompass hiring, performing and monitoring these services to ensure good practices and patient safety.
