: To investigate the change in nationwide incidence of endophthalmitis following cataract surgery in Korea from 2002 to 2013. : From a national sample cohort ( = 1 025 340), cases of postoperative endophthalmitis between 2002 and 2013 were identified. : From 70,719 cases of cataract surgery, 49 incidents of endophthalmitis were reported, yielding an incidence of 0.069% (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.051-0.092%). Overall, the endophthalmitis incidence decreased from 0.103% in 2002-2005 to 0.045% in 2010-2013, corresponding to an annually decreasing time-trend (0.902, 95% CI, 0.827-0.984). In diabetic patients, however, the incidence was 0.128% and did not change (time trend, 1.015; 95% CI, 0.828-1.245). : This study revealed the incidence of endophthalmitis decreased during a 12-year period, but remained constant in diabetic patients.
: 目的：调查 2002 年至 2013 年韩国白内障手术后眼内炎发病率的变化。 : 从全国样本队列（n=1025340）中，确定了 2002 年至 2013 年术后眼内炎病例。 : 在 70719 例白内障手术中，报告了 49 例眼内炎，发病率为 0.069%（95%置信区间，0.051-0.092%）。总体而言，眼内炎发病率从 2002-2005 年的 0.103%下降到 2010-2013 年的 0.045%，呈逐年下降的时间趋势（0.902，95%CI，0.827-0.984）。然而，在糖尿病患者中，发病率为 0.128%，且未发生变化（时间趋势，1.015；95%CI，0.828-1.245）。 : 本研究表明，12 年间眼内炎的发病率有所下降，但在糖尿病患者中保持不变。
