Journal Title: Journal of Ophthalmology and Advance Research - Year 2025, Vol 6, Issue 1
Abstract
Introduction: Endophthalmitis is devastating sight threatening condition following open globe injury. Study is to determine the rate of Endophthalmitis and assess risk factors for the development of Endophthalmitis following Open Globe Injury (OGI). Methods: A retrospective review of all children treated for OGI at the Drashti Netralaya from January 2008 to December 2022 was conducted according to predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria. The main outcome measure was the rate of endophthalmitis, different variables and visual outcome. Result: In this study, 53/1551 (3.42%) eyes had endophthalmitis. Cross tabulation and descriptive analyses identified presenting vision (0.012), corneal condition (0.009), vitreous opacities (0.000) and age group (0.003) as high-risk factors of developing endophthalmitis. Type of interventions and subconjunctival antibiotic injection at the time of globe closure (0.011) was associated with decreased risk of developing endophthalmitis. Conclusion: Careful aggressive management according clinical findings a stastically significant impact on the visual outcome even in pediatric age group.
