Long-term outcomes of vitrectomy for proliferative diabetic retinopathy.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To investigate the long-term outcomes of patients who underwent vitrectomy for proliferative diabetic retinopathy.

Methods

Cumulative incidences were calculated for low vision (<0.3), re-vitrectomy in the study eye and fellow eye vitrectomy. To identify potential prognostic factors that associate with these outcomes, we used multivariable Cox regression models.

Results

In a total of 217 patients, we found 1-, 5- and 10-year cumulative incidences of low vision in the study eye of 24%, 31% and 39%, respectively. For both eyes, these rates were, respectively, 10%, 14% and 14%. Low vision in both eyes was associated with higher age and worse contralateral visual acuity. The 1-, 5- and 10-year cumulative incidences for re-vitrectomy in the study eye were 16%, 27% a
