To compare rates of endophthalmitis (1) following intravitreal injection of antivascular endothelial growth factor therapies with glass-vial preparation (GVP) vs prefilled syringes (PFS) and (2) before and after masking protocols were implemented. Medical records within a multicenter retina practice in Houston, Texas, from January 2015 to August 2021 were retrospectively reviewed. The primary outcome was rate of endophthalmitis after intravitreal injection. A total of 307 349 injections were performed during the study period and 101 cases of endophthalmitis were identified (0.033%). PFS use was associated with a decreased risk of endophthalmitis (relative risk [RR], 0.320; 95% CI, 0.198-0.518, < .001); 54 cases of endophthalmitis occurred in the GVP group of aflibercept and ranibizumab (0.052%) compared with 24 in the PFS group (0.017%). There was no difference in the endophthalmitis rates with or without universal masking (RR, 0.953; 95% CI 0.616-1.473, = .91). PFS use was associated with a significant reduction in the rate of endophthalmitis while the use of surgical face masks did not appear to significantly impact the rate of endophthalmitis.
比较玻璃瓶装制剂(GVP)与预填充注射器(PFS)玻璃体内注射抗血管内皮生长因子疗法后的眼内炎发生率(1),以及实施遮盖方案前后的眼内炎发生率(2)。对德克萨斯州休斯顿多中心视网膜诊所2015年1月至2021年8月的病历进行回顾性研究。主要结局是玻璃体内注射后的眼内炎发生率。研究期间共进行了307349次注射,确定了101例眼内炎病例(0.033%)。使用PFS与眼内炎风险降低相关(相对风险[RR],0.320;95%置信区间,0.198 - 0.518,<0.001);阿柏西普和雷珠单抗的GVP组发生54例眼内炎(0.052%),而PFS组为24例(0.017%)。采用或不采用通用遮盖措施时眼内炎发生率无差异(RR,0.953;95%置信区间0.616 - 1.473,P = 0.91)。使用PFS与眼内炎发生率显著降低相关,而使用外科口罩似乎并未显著影响眼内炎发生率。
