Diabetes and Postoperative Endophthalmitis in the Endophthalmitis Vitrectomy Study

Prevention of postcataract endophthalmitis

“…Intraoperative complications, specifically break in the posterior capsule or vitreous loss, also greatly increase the risk of endophthalmitis [14]. This is consistent with the earlier studies showing increased risk of endophthalmitis in diabetics [16,17]. This is consistent with the earlier studies showing increased risk of endophthalmitis in diabetics [16,17].…”

Risk Factors for Post–Open-Globe Injury Endophthalmitis

“…Studies have found that patients with diabetes are at an increased risk of developing endophthalmitis postoperatively. [23][24][25][26][27] In our study, the risk of PTE in patients with diabetes increased by 2-to 4-fold. The mechanism by which diabetes increases the risk of endophthalmitis may involve a debilitated immune system secondary to altered antigen response and impaired phagocytic capabilities.…”

Postoperative Endophthalmitis among Diabetic and Non-Diabetic Patients: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis

“…For the treatment of exogenous endophthalmitis, it has generally been presumed by practitioners that the prognosis for a poor visual outcome will be worse among patients with diabetes compared to patients without any history of diabetes (25). Research from this study found that only 39% of people with diabetes achieved a nal visual acuity of 20/40 compared to non-diabetics, where this stood at 55%.…”
