Scrolling Behavior of Descemet Membrane Endothelial Keratoplasty Grafts: Analysis of a Large Cohort of 3150 Grafts

In this large cohort of DMEK grafts, donor age was confirmed as the most decisive factor influencing the scrolling behavior of DMEK grafts, with younger tissues demonstrating tighter scroll formation while the correlation gradually weakened in older donor groups. The DM thickness was confirmed as an independent contributor, as thicker membranes were associated with less tightly scrolled grafts.

Abstract

In this large cohort of DMEK grafts, donor age was confirmed as the most decisive factor influencing the scrolling behavior of DMEK grafts, with younger tissues demonstrating tighter scroll formation while the correlation gradually weakened in older donor groups. The DM thickness was confirmed as an independent contributor, as thicker membranes were associated with less tightly scrolled grafts.
