Endophthalmitis Rates among Medicare Beneficiaries Undergoing Cataract Surgery between 2011 and 2019.

The overall 90-day postoperative endophthalmitis rate after cataract surgery was 1.36 per 1000 cataract surgeries between 2011 and 2019. Patient age, gender, race, and CCI were associated with risk of endophthalmitis.

Risk Factors for Repeat Keratoplasty after Endothelial Keratoplasty in the Medicare Population.

Blacks or Asians, comorbid glaucoma, concurrent or prior glaucoma surgery, and lower volumes of surgery are associated with increased risk of repeated keratoplasty. Racial disparities identified in this study warrant further investigation.

Trends, Factors, and Outcomes Associated with Immediate Sequential Bilateral Cataract Surgery among Medicare Beneficiaries.

Overall use of ISBCS among Medicare beneficiaries remained low over the past decade, although rates of endophthalmitis and CME were comparable to DSBCS.

Postoperative Complications in Medicare Beneficiaries Following Endothelial Keratoplasty Surgery.

The incidence of major postoperative complications including endophthalmitis, retinal detachment, and choroidal hemorrhage following EK procedures is low.

Early Endophthalmitis Incidence and Risk Factors after Glaucoma Surgery in the Medicare Population from 2016 to 2019.

Compared with cataract surgery, early endophthalmitis incidence was higher for both glaucoma and combined cataract/glaucoma surgeries, with the highest incidence among tube shunts.

Endophthalmitis rates and risk factors following intraocular surgeries in the medicare population from 2016 to 2019.

Postoperative endophthalmitis rate after intraocular surgeries was 0.09% between 2016 and 2019 for Medicare beneficiaries.
