[Prediction of the vaulting after posterior chamber intraocular lens implantation].

To investigate the influencing factors on the vaulting one month after implantable collamer lens (ICL) implantation, and to develop and verify a prediction formula. The first half of this study was retrospective case series study, and the second half was cross-sectional stydy. A total of 83 eyes of 83 patients who underwent ICL implantation in the Lixiang Eye Hospital of Soochow University were included in the first half of the study, with an average age of (27±5) years, from August 1, 2019 to December 30, 2019. All patients underwent a complete preoperative examination, including axis length, anterior chamber depth, comprehensive optometry, intraocular pressure, central corneal thickness, white-to-white diameter, horizontal and vertical sulcus-to-sulcus diameter (STS), crystalline lens thickness (LT), corneal curvature, and bright and dark pupil diameter. Multiple linear regression (stepwise) was used to develop a prediction formula. In the validation part, a total of 65 people (65 eyes) were included, with an average age of (26±5) years, from March 1, 2020 to June 1, 2020. The accuracy and reliability of the formula were verified by the intergroup correlation coefficient and Bland-Altman consistency test. At 1 month after surgery, ICL size had the greatest impact on the vaulting (β=0.942, <0.001), followed by horizontal STS (β=-0.517, <0.001), LT (β=-0.376, <0.001), and vertical STS (β=-0.257, =0.017). The influence of other factors was not statistically significant (all >0.05). The regression equation was as follows: the vaulting (μm)=-1 369.05+657.12×ICL size-287.41×horizontal STS-432.50×LT-137.33×vertical STS (the fitting degree =0.813, =0.660, and corrected =0.643). In the verification part, the predicted average vaulting was (497.31±102.75) μm, while the actual vaulting was (514.62±152.99) μm. About 96.92% (63/65) of the patients were fitted in the moderate vault, and 3.08% (2/65) were in the high vault. The intergroup correlation coefficient was 0.581. According to the Bland-Altman test, the actual vaulting was 17.31 μm, higher than the predicted value, and the 95% confidence interval of the difference was -260.28 to 294.90 μm. The ICL size, horizontal and vertical STS and LT are the factors that affect and predict the vaulting one month after ICL implantation, and our prediction formula has good accuracy and reliability. .
