Factors Associated With Nasolacrimal Duct Probing Failure Among Children in the Intelligent Research in Sight Registry.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Understanding the factors associated with nasolacrimal duct probing failure in young children may help inform practice patterns.

Objective

To identify factors associated with repeated nasolacrimal duct probing in young children.

Design, setting, and participants

This retrospective cohort study analyzed data from the Intelligent Research in Sight (IRIS) Registry for all children who underwent nasolacrimal duct probing before 4 years of age between January 1, 2013, and December 31, 2020.

Main outcomes and measures

The Kaplan-Meier estimator was used to assess the cumulative incidence of a repeated procedure within 2 years of the initial procedure. Hazard ratios (HRs) derived from multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression models were used to eva
