Real-World Outcomes of Glaucoma Filtration Surgery Using Electronic Health Records: An Informatics Study.

ABSTRACT:

Prcis

Utilizing an automated pipeline for data extraction from electronic health records provides real-world information on the success of various glaucoma procedures, with tube shunt implantation associated with increased failure rates compared with trabeculectomy.

Background

We aimed to evaluate the long-term survival of glaucoma surgeries using an automated pipeline for extraction of outcomes from electronic health records.

Methods

A retrospective observational study from a single academic center. Patients undergoing trabeculectomy, Ex-PRESS shunt, Baerveldt, and Ahmed tube shunt insertion from 2009 to 2018 were identified from electronic health record procedure codes. Patient characteristics were identified from structured and unstructured fields using a previousl
