Posterior Vitreous Detachment and Risk of Neovascular Glaucoma in Eyes with Prior Retinal Vascular Occlusions.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

To investigate the impact of posterior vitreous detachment (PVD) on the risk of developing neovascular glaucoma (NVG) in eyes with occlusions of the retinal artery (RAO) or retinal vein (RVO).

Methods

Single-center retrospective case-control study of adults with a history of RVO/RAO. Cases (N = 101) who developed NVG were age and sex matched 1:2 to controls who did not develop NVG (N = 202). Multivariable logistic regression was used to estimate the association between history of PVD and risk of NVG while controlling for other related demographic or clinical factors.

Results

In initial bivariate analyses, there was no difference in risk of NVG based on eye, lens status, hypertension, history of panretinal photocoagulation (PRP), or retinal surgery (all p
