The Endophthalmitis Vitrectomy Study

Evaluating the efficacy of pars plana vitrectomy in the management of endophthalmitis after following the endophthalmitis vitrectomy study: A systematic review and meta-analysis

“…as the predominant causative agents. This finding is in line with the EVS results indicating a 70% prevalence of coagulase-negative Staphylococcus in cultured-positive cases, which constitute normal flora of human skin [ 3 ]. This demonstrated the importance of proper aseptic technique to prevent endophthalmitis postocular surgery or injection.…”

“…The Streptococcus -associated postoperative endophthalmitis rate was 9.0% in EVS [ 3 ], with previous studies indicating higher proportions (30.9% and 24.4%) after anti-VEGF injection [ 20 22 ]. This suggests a shifting spectrum of organisms between clinical and operating room settings, with Streptococcus species emerging as a more prevalent cause post-IVI.…”

A 10-year Review of Microbial Spectrum of Post-cataract Surgery Endophthalmitis in Hong Kong Chinese

“…Consistent with the Endophthalmitis Vitrectomy Study (EVS) [5], systemic antibiotic as an adjunctive treatment was not found to affect final visual outcome in this study. However, it is worthy to note that in many cases different antibiotics were given intravitreally and systemically.…”

Incidence of Endophthalmitis After Intra-Operative Moxifloxacin Injection in the Capsular Bag, Behind the Intra Ocular Lens, in Phacoemulsification. A Retrospective Study

“…None of the patients with endophthalmitis had any uncontrolled systemic illness, two patients had controlled diabetes. All four cases of endophthalmitis were managed according to the endophthalmitis vitrectomy study (EVS) [13], and after consulting the retina team, three cases were treated by intravitreal antibiotic injections, vancomycin and Ceftazidime (Fortum) to cover the grampositive and negative bacteria, one case improved markedly after one intravitreal injection and the other two we had to repeat the injection twice before showing improvement, and the fourth case, vitrectomy was made as a primary measure for the treatment of endophthalmitis with the combined injection of intravitreal antibiotics. All four cases showed improvement.…”
