Prophylactic interventions for preventing macular edema after cataract surgery in patients with diabetes: A Bayesian network meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Diabetes significantly increases the risk of postoperative macular edema (PME) after cataract surgery, leading to potential worst post-operative outcomes. This study aims to compare the effect of different prophylactic interventions in improving postoperative anatomic and visual acuity outcomes of diabetes patients who underwent cataract surgery.

Methods

We searched MEDLINE, Embase, Web of Science databases from inception until February 2nd, 2022, for studies including studies reporting PME events and/or best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) outcomes. Random-effects Bayesian network meta-analysis was performed to compare the efficiency of intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor injections (anti-VEGF), nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and to
