Risk Factors for Reoperation after Strabismus Surgery among Patients with Thyroid Eye Disease.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To examine risk factors for strabismus surgery reoperation in patients with thyroid eye disease (TED).

Design

Retrospective cohort study.

Methods

An insurance claims database was used to identify patients with TED who underwent at least one strabismus operation between 2003 and 2019. We recorded specific muscles operated on, as well as the timing and frequency of reoperations. Cox regressions were used to estimate associations between time to reoperation and patient and primary surgery characteristics.

Results

Of the 448 patients who met inclusion criteria, 111 (24.8%) underwent a reoperation. Patients were followed for an average of 5.4 ± 3.0 years after their initial strabismus surgery. The rates of reoperation among patients whose initial surgery inv
