ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
To describe the epidemiology, indications and surgical results of pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) in patients over 85 years of age.METHODS:
A retrospective cohort study was performed including all consecutive patients aged 85 years or older who underwent PPV between September 2018 and March 2022 in a single hospital in Madrid, Spain. Data on diagnosis, comorbidities, surgical indication, surgical details, surgical complications and surgical outcomes were collected from medical records.RESULTS:
A total of 124 eyes of 119 patients (56 males, 47.1%) underwent PPV. Median age was 87 years (range 85-96). The most common surgical indications were complications of cataract surgery in 34 patients (28.6%), macular epiretinal membrane in 32 (26.9%), and rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) in 12 (10.1%). Mean preoperative best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was 13.33 ± 42.34 ETDRS letters and improved to 40.05 ± 41.04 letters at 3 months (p < 0.001). BCVA had improved in 68.82% of patients at 3 months. Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD; p < 0.001), RRD (p = 0.003), ocular trauma (p = 0.001) and age-related macular degeneration (AMD; p = 0.002) showed worse BCVA at 3 months from surgery. Patients with better preoperative BCVA (p < 0.001), and those who underwent 25G PPV (p = 0.041) showed better visual outcomes.CONCLUSIONS:
PPV is an effective technique for improving visual acuity in patients aged 85 years and older with vitreoretinal diseases. Visual outcomes were better when patients had a better preoperative visual acuity and underwent 25G PPV. Patients with a previous diagnosis of AMD or CKD, and those undergoing surgery for ocular trauma or RRD had worse visual outcomes.Palavras-chave
