Among these cases, 122 were adults (50 females and 72 males) and 36 were children (8 females and 28 males).

Data were collected for all patients, including general demographic information, diagnoses, surgical records, anesthetic data, complications, and the success rate of SHFJV. For two groups of continuous variables conforming to a normal distribution, the independent-samples <i>t</i>-test was used; for categorical variables, the chi-square test or Fisher's exact test was applied.

There were 30 males and 26 females, with a mean age of (52.00±9.88) years (x¯±s). Patient age, clinical activity score (CAS), and duration of ocular symptoms were recorded. Visual acuity, exophthalmos, and intraocular pressure (IOP) were documented preoperatively and postoperatively. Patients were divided into the following groups: by disease duration (<12 months, 12-18 months, ≥18 months); by preoperative visual acuity (<0.01 and ≥0.01); by preoperative intravenous glucocorticoid pulse therapy (treated and untreated); and by preoperative CAS (≥3 and<3). The improvement in visual acuity, exophthalmos, and IOP was compared among groups. Linear mixed-effects models were employed to analyze the effects of various factors on surgical outcomes.
