Integrated analysis of risk factors, visual prognosis, and pathogens in pediatric post-traumatic endophthalmitis: a retrospective cohort study

Pediatric traumatic infectious endophthalmitis predominantly occurs in male children from rural areas. WBC is a valuable diagnostic biomarker, and the combination of multiple inflammatory indices further improves diagnostic accuracy. Delayed medical consultation is a critical risk factor. Patients with less severe lens damage and lower inflammatory marker levels are more likely to achieve favorable visual outcomes. Bacterial infections, especially Gram-positive cocci, are the predominant pathogens.
