Comparison of the Double-Plate Molteno Drainage Implant With the Schocket Procedure

Five-year Outcomes of Eyes With Glaucoma Drainage Device and Penetrating Keratoplasty

“…Earlier studies have noted similar final IOP outcomes whether eyes received Schocket, Baerveldt (350 mm 2 ), or douple-plate Molteno implants. 27,28 In our study, there were no significant IOP differences noted between the 3 different types of glaucoma tubes, although the number of eyes studied allows only the determination of large differences.…”

“…At final follow-up in Smith 1992, mean IOP was 14.39 (SD 4.24) mmHg in the Molteno group and 15.05 (SD 7.65) mmHg in the Schocket shunt group. Mean IOP data for Wilson 1992 are summarized in Analysis 4.1.…”

“…Smith 1992 did not report adverse events. Complications in Wilson 1992 are summarized in Analysis 4.2.…”

“…At final follow-up, Smith 1992 reported a mean of 0.95 (SD 0.75) medications in the Molteno group and 0.43 (SD 0.68) medications in the Schocket shunt group. Wilson 1992 did not report the mean number of medications in each group at any follow-up point.…”

“…However, the results in this trial, though statistically significant, must be viewed in light of the methodological inadequacies including allocation concealment and exclusion of participants from the analyses. The second trial (Smith 1992) reported a greater decrease in IOP with the Schocket shunt. However, the 95% confidence interval for the mean difference included the null value and hence was consistent with IOP being lower in either the Molteno implant group or the Schocket shunt group.…”
