Effectiveness of Trabeculectomy and Tube Shunt with versus without Concurrent Phacoemulsification: Intelligent Research in Sight Registry Longitudinal Analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To determine the effectiveness of trabeculectomy and glaucoma drainage device (GDD) surgery performed with concurrent phacoemulsification compared with stand-alone procedures.

Design

Multicenter retrospective cohort study.

Participants

Patients in the Intelligent Research in Sight Registry who underwent trabeculectomy or GDD from 2013 through 2019.

Methods

The Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was used to determine reoperation rates. Reoperation was defined as any subsequent glaucoma surgery occurring 1 month to 3 years after the initial procedure. Multivariable Cox proportional hazard models were used to determine reoperation risk factors.

Main outcome measures

Reoperation rate, intraocular pressure (IOP), visual acuity, reoperation procedure typ
