Article Abstract
Purpose: To analyze the 100 most cited articles pertaining to endophthalmitis using bibliometric analysis.
Methods: An all-time Web of Science literature search and refined to peer-reviewed articles in the field of ophthalmology with the keyword "endophthalmitis" was completed. Total citation count of articles published pertaining to endophthalmitis, topic, incidence rate, publishing journals, year published, language, country of origin, number of authors, names of the first and last authors, study type, and number of patients/eyes studied.
Results: The top 100 most cited articles pertaining to endophthalmitis had a mean citation count of 362.92, with a range of 175 to 3583. They were published in 20 peer-reviewed journals, with Ophthalmology publishing the most (n = 42). Thirteen different countries were represented, with the majority (n = 77) originating from the USA. The most common study type was clinical experiences (n = 52), though eight of the top ten were clinical trials. The number of patients varied widely, represented by a mean of 9680, but with a median of only 229. The majority (n = 67) examined the incidence of endophthalmitis which included 24 articles after anti-vascular endothelial growth factor injections, 18 after ocular surgeries/procedures, 15 after intraocular steroid injections, eight after chemotoxic drug use, and three after ocular injuries.
Conclusion: This bibliographic study serves as a unique historical analysis of the top 100 cited scholarly articles pertaining to endophthalmitis with many of the articles related to post-procedural endophthalmitis.

The impact of oxygen content on pathogenesis in ocular infection based on clinical characteristics, transcriptome and metabolome analysis.

Department of Clinical Laboratory, The Affiliated Hospital of Yunnan University, Kunming, China.
Article Synopsis
- This study investigates the causes and prevalence of specific pathogens in endophthalmitis patients at a hospital in Southwest China over a 9-year period, aiming to understand how environmental factors affect the disease.
- Data from 2,712 fungal or bacterial strains shows that gram-positive bacteria are the most common culprits, with a notable resistance to levofloxacin compared to moxifloxacin, and trauma being the leading cause of infections.
- The research highlights the importance of the identified pathogen in endophthalmitis and warns against using levofloxacin as a first-line treatment, noting that changes in metabolites can indicate a shift towards a more harmful pathogenic state under low oxygen conditions.
Concomitant sutureless scleral fixation of intraocular lens with keratoplasty: Review of surgical techniques.
Indian J Ophthalmol
May 2023
Department of Ophthalmology, Lady Hardinge Medical College and Shrimati Sucheta Kriplani Hospital, New Delhi, India.
Sutureless scleral fixation of intraocular lens (sSFIOL) is a commonly employed method of optical rehabilitation of aphakic patients with deficient capsular support, and corneal transplant surgeries can be simultaneously combined with sSFIOL to handle aphakic corneal opacities. A single-stage procedure circumvents the need for repeat intraocular procedures and carries lower risk of graft endothelial damage, endophthalmitis, and macular edema associated with sequential surgeries. However, it mandates surgical expertise and increases the chances of postoperative inflammation.
