Practical Algorithm Evaluating Preoperative Risk Factors for Posterior Capsule Rupture During Phacoemulsification
The model created can assess patients and preoperatively evaluate their perioperative risk of complications while planning surgery with greater safety. Every population under study has unique characteristics, and safer assumptions can be made when particularities have been identified and taken into account. External validation would provide more information on its applicability in other teaching ophthalmology departments.
