ENDOPHTHALMITIS INCIDENCE AFTER VITRECTOMY: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW AND META-ANALYSIS OF RISK FACTORS AND PREVENTION STRATEGY
The incidence of endophthalmitis was higher than in previous reviews. Non-fluid intraocular tamponade significantly reduced the incidence of endophthalmitis but subconjunctival antibiotics did not. Small-gauge vitrectomy and phaco-vitrectomy were not associated with significantly higher rates of endophthalmitis.
