Article Synopsis
- The study assessed the effects of COVID-19 on complications and mortality in patients who underwent total hip arthroplasty (THA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA), analyzing data from over 110,000 surgeries.
- Patients were categorized based on their COVID-19 status before surgery, and various postoperative complications such as venous thromboembolism and mortality rates were compared between groups.
- Results indicated that COVID-19-positive patients experienced significantly higher rates of complications and mortality, particularly in THA, with a CCI score over 3 being a critical risk factor for both procedures.
Purpose: To assess incidence, risk factors, and treatment of retroprosthetic membrane (RPM) formation in eyes following Boston keratoprosthesis (Kpro) implantation and their correlation with glaucoma drainage device placement (GDD).
Methods: A retrospective review was performed on eyes that underwent Kpro type I or II implantation between 2005 and 2020 at a tertiary academic center. Multiple variables were collected including preoperative characteristics, presence of RPM, management of RPM, and outcomes including corrected visual acuity (VA).
