Incidence and risk factors of perioperative suprachoroidal hemorrhage: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Scheie Eye Institute, Perelman School of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA, United States.
Article Synopsis
- Suprachoroidal hemorrhage (SCH) is a serious complication of eye surgery, with a meta-analysis showing an overall incidence of 0.12% (or about 1 in 800 surgeries) among a large population of over 3 million surgeries from 1990 to 2023.
- Factors like smaller study size and the type of surgery (cataract vs. vitreoretinal) significantly influenced the reported incidence rates of SCH, while the study year did not show a decrease in incidence over 30 years despite advances in surgical techniques.
- The authors recommend that future studies on SCH should include at least 1,000 surgeries in their population to yield more accurate incidence figures.

These opportunistic microorganisms belonging to kingdom of fungi are capable of surviving and replicating within macrophages.
