[PMID: 38900438 PMCID: PMC11190831 DOI: 10.1001/jamaophthalmol.2024.1716] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/29/2024] [Accepted: 04/07/2024] [Indexed: 06/21/2024]
Abstract
Importance Although the effectiveness of intracameral antibiotics to prevent postoperative endophthalmitis is described, selective use of antibiotics combined with 1% povidone iodine disinfection might be equally effective and could lead to cost reduction and avoidance of unnecessary use of antibiotics. Objective To compare the incidence of postoperative endophthalmitis when 1% povidone iodine disinfection is applied in combination with selective intracameral antibiotics with the incidence after routine use of intracameral antibiotics in combination with 5% povidone iodine. Design, Setting, and Participant This was a retrospective cohort study using incidence data from the ongoing endophthalmitis register of the Rotterdam Eye Hospital, a specialized hospital providing both secondary and tertiary ophthalmological care, when intracameral antibiotics were used only during cataract procedures with occurrence of a posterior capsular tear in comparison with results from cohorts described in the literature where routine antibiotics were used. All patients who had cataract (phacoemulsification) surgery at the Rotterdam Eye Hospital between 1993 and 2022 were included. No cataract surgical procedures combined with other intraocular procedures were included. Exposure Povidone iodine disinfection and intracameral antibiotics during cataract surgery either routinely or only in case of posterior capsular tears. Main Outcome and Measure Postoperative endophthalmitis incidence. Results Postoperative endophthalmitis incidence after 56 598 cataract (phacoemulsification) surgical procedures in the Rotterdam Eye Hospital between 2016 and 2022 was 0.000 (95% CI, 0.000-0.000). A PubMed literature search until September 2023 with respect to the incidence of postoperative endophthalmitis after routine antibiotic prophylaxis yielded 37 publications with an overall postoperative endophthalmitis incidence of 0.000 (95% CI, 0.000-0.000). Conclusions and Relevance No difference was observed between the postoperative endophthalmitis incidence during the last 7 years in the Rotterdam Eye Hospital and the overall postoperative endophthalmitis incidence after routine intracameral antibiotics prophylaxis as described in the literature. Disinfection with 1% povidone iodine in combination with selective antibiotic prophylaxis may be equally effective as routine antibiotic use and 5% povidone iodine.

Abstract
PURPOSE To study the incidence, predictive factors, etiology, and visual consequences of postoperative endophthalmitis (PE) in relation to 3 intracameral (IC) antibiotic regimes. SETTING Swedish National Cataract Register entries from 2011 through 2017. DESIGN Observational retrospective study. METHODS PE incidence, influencing factors, bacteriology, and visual outcome were analyzed regarding the 3 major prophylactic IC protocols. RESULTS The overall incidence of PE was 0.023% or 177 cases in 764 513 cataract procedures. Analyzed per IC regime, the rates of PE were 0.024% (126 cases in 514 916 surgeries) for cefuroxime, 0.020% (25 cases in 122 340 surgeries) for moxifloxacin, and 0.017% (20 cases in 121 045 surgeries) for combined cefuroxime-ampicillin. Incidences were not statistically significantly different from one another. Gram-positive bacteria caused 89.0% of culture positive cases. Enterococci as pathogens were significantly more frequent with IC cefuroxime than with moxifloxacin, P = .006, or cefuroxime-ampicillin, P < .001, while streptococci other than enterococci were more common with moxifloxacin than with cefuroxime, P < .001. Bacterial susceptibility to the given antibiotics was demonstrated in 21.3% of PE cases treated with cefuroxime, which was statistically significantly lower than proportions found with cefuroxime-ampicillin, 60.0%, P = .015, or with moxifloxacin, 88.2%, P < .001. Visual outcome worse than 20/200 was similar in the groups ranging from 42.0% to 53.7%. CONCLUSIONS No statistically significant differences in PE incidence or visual outcome results between treatment groups were demonstrated. However, differences in etiology and bacterial sensitivity were found between the prophylactic IC treatments.

Abstract
Purpose To assess the current trends in use of perioperative antibiotic prophylaxis, especially intracameral antibiotics (ICAB), for cataract surgery in India. Methods This was an E-survey using a previously validated questionnaire carried out by the All India Ophthalmological Society (AIOS) in August 2022. An E-mail invitation to complete an online 40-point survey was sent to all members of the AIOS using a digital E-mail service (Survey Monkey) and social media platforms. Results Out of 1804 total respondents, 58% (n = 1022) reported using routine ICAB prophylaxis. Of those using ICAB, 89% (n = 909) reported using it for all cases, whereas the rest used it for specific indications such as post-PC rent (n = 43), one eyed patient (n = 19), and high-risk cases (n = 50). Commercially available moxifloxacin was by far the commonest agent used for ICAB (n = 686, 67%). Eighty respondents (8%) reported noticing occasional toxic reactions and nontoxic corneal edema (n = 64, 6%) with ICAB. Surgeons with >10 years' experience especially practicing in medical colleges used fewer ICAB (OR = 0.52, 95%CI = 0.38 - 0.72, P < 0,001) compared to younger surgeons (<5-year experience) in solo clinics. The commonest reason for nonadoption of IC antibiotics was "unconvinced of the need to use it in my setting" (n = 296, 52% of those who answered this question). Conclusion IC antibiotic prophylaxis for cataract surgery has significantly increased in India from 40% in 2017 to 58% in 2022. Commercially available moxifloxacin was preferred by the majority users. Intraocular inflammation may occur occasionally and needs safer formulations to avoid this.

Abstract
To reveal optimal antibiotic prophylactic regimen for postoperative endophthalmitis (POE), we conducted systematic review and network meta-analysis. A total of 51 eligible original articles, including two randomized controlled trials, were identified. In total, 4502 POE cases occurred in 6,809,732 eyes (0.066%). Intracameral injection of vancomycin had the best preventive effect (odds ratio [OR] 0.03, 99.6% confidence interval [CI] 0.00-0.53, corrected P-value = 0.006, P-score = 0.945) followed by intracameral injection of cefazoline (OR 0.09, 99.6% CI 0.02-0.42, corrected P-value < 0.001, P-score = 0.821), cefuroxime (OR 0.18, 99.6% CI 0.09-0.35, corrected P-value < 0.001, P-score = 0.660), and moxifloxacin (OR 0.36, 99.6% CI 0.16-0.79, corrected P-value = 0.003, P-score = 0.455). While one randomized controlled trial supported each of intracameral cefuroxime and moxifloxacin, no randomized controlled trial evaluated vancomycin and cefazoline. Sensitivity analysis focusing on the administration route revealed that only intracameral injection (OR 0.19, 99.4% CI 0.12-0.30, corrected P-value < 0.001, P-score = 0.726) significantly decreased the risk of postoperative endophthalmitis. In conclusion, intracameral injection of either vancomycin, cefazoline, cefuroxime, or moxifloxacin prevented POE.

Abstract
Infectious endophthalmitis is a serious and vision-threatening complication of commonly performed intraocular surgeries such as cataract surgery. The occurrence of endophthalmitis can result in severe damage to the uveal and other ocular tissues even among patients undergoing an uncomplicated surgical procedure. If the infections result from common factors such as surgical supplies, operative or operation theater-related risks, there can be a cluster outbreak of toxic anterior segment syndrome (TASS) or infectious endophthalmitis, leading to several patients having an undesirable outcome. Since prevention of intraocular infections is of paramount importance to ophthalmic surgeons, the All India Ophthalmological Society (AIOS) has taken the lead in the formation of a National Task Force to help ophthalmic surgeons apply certain universal precautions in their clinical practice. The Task Force has prepared a handy checklist and evidence-based guidelines to minimize the risk of infectious endophthalmitis following cataract surgery.

Abstract
Purpose To compare the post-cataract endophthalmitis (PCE) rates among eyes undergoing syringing or regurgitation on pressure over the lacrimal sac (ROPLAS) test prior to cataract surgery. Methods We performed a single-center, retrospective, comparative analysis of eyes developing PCE who underwent syringing prior to cataract surgery (group A) in the pre-COVID-19 era between November 1 2019 and January 31, 2020 and the eyes that underwent ROPLAS test prior to cataract surgery (group B) in the COVID-19 era between November 1, 2020 and January 31, 2021. Results A total of 87,144 eyes underwent cataract surgery during the two time periods of the study. Syringing was performed in 48,071 eyes, whereas ROPLAS was performed in 39,073 eyes. In group A, 19 eyes (0.039%) developed PCE, whereas 20 eyes (0.051%) developed PCE in group B (P = 0.517). Between the two groups, the grade of anterior chamber cellular reaction (P = 0.675), hypopyon (P = 0.738), and vitreous haze (P = 0.664) were comparable. Gram-positive organisms were detected in 4 eyes in group A and 6 eyes in group B; 2 eyes in group A had gram-negative bacilli. The presenting visual acuity (Group A: LogMAR 1.42 and Group B: LogMAR 1.30) and final visual acuity (Group A: LogMAR 0.52 and Group B: LogMAR 0.5) were comparable between the two groups. (P = 0.544 and 0.384, respectively). Conclusion The rates of PCE were comparable among the eyes undergoing either syringing test or ROPLAS prior to cataract surgery.
