Bacterial keratitis is a leading cause of visual impairment worldwide. However, the natural history of treated bacterial keratitis has not been well characterized. We performed a secondary analysis of the Steroids for Corneal Ulcers Trial (SCUT; clinicaltrials.gov #NCT00324168) to better characterize the rate of visual acuity improvement after successful antimicrobial treatment.
细菌性角膜炎是全球导致视力损害的主要原因。然而,治疗后的细菌性角膜炎的自然病程尚未得到很好的描述。我们对皮质类固醇治疗角膜溃疡试验(SCUT;clinicaltrials.gov #NCT00324168)进行了二次分析,以更好地描述成功抗菌治疗后视力提高的速度。
