Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to analyze the outcomes of two frequently used surgical valves in treating refractory glaucoma.

Methods: This was a retrospective and nonrandomized study comparing patients aged 18 years or older who underwent implantation using standardized surgical techniques.

Results: A total of 86 patients were included in the study, 48 in the Ahmed group and 38 in the Baerveldt group. The overall success rate was 63.1% in both the groups. At the 3-year follow-up, the Ahmed group had a mean intraocular pressure (IOP) of 14.0 ± 4.8 mmHg (60% reduction) compared with 15.8 ± 6.2 mmHg (53.3% reduction) in the Baerveldt group (0.536). The Ahmed group required an average of 1.6 ± 1.3 medications (59% reduction) compared with 2.1 ± 1.7 (40% reduction) in the Baerveldt group (P < 0.001).

Conclusion: Despite a high failure rate, both devices were effective in lowering IOP and the need for medications. Lower IOP and medications were needed in the Ahmed group.

哈立德国王眼科专科医院的Ahmed与Baerveldt研究:三年治疗结果

目的:本研究的目的是分析两种常用的手术瓣膜治疗难治性青光眼的结果。方法:这是一项回顾性和非随机研究，比较了18岁及以上采用标准化手术技术进行植入术的患者。结果:共有86例患者纳入研究，其中Ahmed组48例，Baerveldt组38例。两组的总成功率均为63.1%。在3年的随访中，Ahmed组的平均眼压(IOP)为14.0±4.8 mmHg(降低60%)，Baerveldt组为15.8±6.2 mmHg(降低53.3%)(0.536)。Ahmed组平均用药次数为1.6±1.3次(减少59%)，Baerveldt组为2.1±1.7次(减少40%)(P < 0.001)。结论:尽管失败率很高，但这两种装置在降低IOP和药物需求方面都是有效的。艾哈迈德组需要降低IOP和药物治疗。
