Predicting the risk of glaucoma-related adverse events following secondary intraocular lens implantation in paediatric eyes: a 3-year study

:-
 
Aims: To establish and evaluate predictive models for glaucoma-related adverse events (GRAEs) following secondary intraocular lens (IOL) implantation in paediatric eyes. Methods:205 children (356 aphakic eyes) receiving secondary IOL implantation at Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center with a 3-year follow-up were enrolled. Cox proportional hazard model was used to identify predictors of GRAEs and developed nomograms. Model performance was evaluated with time-dependent receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves, decision curve analysis, Kaplan-Meier curves and validated internally through C-statistics and calibration plot of the bootstrap samples. Results: Older age at secondary IOL implantation (HR=1.5, 95% CI: 1.03 to 2.19), transient intraocular hypertension (HR=9.06, 95% CI: 2.97 to 27.67) and ciliary sulcus implantation (HR=14.55, 95% CI: 2.11 to 100.57) were identified as risk factors for GRAEs (all p<0.05). Two nomograms were established. At postoperatively 1, 2 and 3 years, model 1 achieved area under the ROC curves (AUCs) of 0.747 (95% CI: 0.776 to 0.935), 0.765 (95% CI: 0.804 to 0.936) and 0.748 (95% CI: 0.736 to 0.918), and the AUCs of model 2 were 0.881 (95% CI: 0.836 to 0.926), 0.895 (95% CI: 0.852 to 0.938) and 0.848 (95% CI: 0.752 to 0.945). Both models demonstrated fine clinical net benefit and performance in the interval validation. The Kaplan-Meier curves showing two distinct risk groups were well discriminated and robust in both models. An online risk calculator was constructed. Conclusion: Two nomograms could sensitively and accurately identify children at high risk of GRAEs after secondary IOL implantation to help early identification and timely intervention.

Eyelid malposition after orbital fracture surgery

:-
 

Abstract: Orbital fractures generally do not cause eyelid malposition. Studies have shown that mostly eyelid malposition is mainly due to the choice of surgical approaches of orbital fracture repair. Approaches are divided into transcutaneous and transconjunctival ones. The application of orbital fracture approaches depends on fractures’ range and the surgeons’ preferences. Eyelid malposition after orbital fracture surgery is not only an aesthetic concern but also a functional complication, which will cause eyes discomfort, such as corneal exposure and ocular irritation. Some patients may have multiple types of eyelid malposition. In this review, we summarized the surgical approaches of orbital fractures and the complications including scar, ectropion, retraction, entropion, flattening, laceration and lacrimal canaliculus avulsion and notch deformity that associated with eyelid, especially the lower eyelid. Reports revealed that the scar usually occurred in infraorbital incisions compared with subtarsal and subciliary incisions, and the transconjunctival approach had a higher incidence of entropion and flattening, and less ectropion than the transcutaneous approach. Meanwhile, pathogenesis of eyelid malposition after orbital fracture surgery are discussed. Furthermore, to prevent eyelid malposition complications, doctors should choose the appropriate orbital fracture approach according to the patient’s needs, and delicate tissue management, technical expertise, and meticulous hemostasis are necessary. Conservative treatment with taping, lubricating ointment, and steroid for eyelid malposition complications should be performed first, and then surgical intervention when the conservative treatment fails.
