ABSTRACT
PRECIS XEN implant was associated with low endothelial cell density (ECD) reduction. In fact, when combined with phacoemulsification, the reduction in ECD was similar to that expected after phacoemulsification alone. PURPOSE:
The purpose of this study was to assess the impact of XEN implant, either alone or in combination with phacoemulsification, on ECD.METHODS:
Multicenter, prospective, observational study conducted on consecutive open-angle glaucoma patients, who were enrolled in the Italian XEN Glaucoma Treatment Registry and have complete endothelial cell count data at baseline and at 6 months after implantation. The primary endpoint was the mean percentage change in ECD between baseline and month 6.RESULTS:
The study included 108 open-angle glaucoma eyes (68 in the XEN-solo and 40 eyes in the XEN+phaco groups) and 60 control eyes (phaco-solo group). As compared with baseline, mean (95% confidence interval, CI) ECD reduction was -5.6% (-7.0% to -4.9%), -11.3% (-13.8% to -10.9%), and -13.0% (14.8% to -11.8%) in the XEN-solo, XEN+phaco, and phaco-solo groups, respectively (P=0.0004, <0.0001, and <0.0001, respectively). As compared with the XEN-solo group, the ECD reduction was significantly greater in the XEN+phaco group (mean difference=5.7%; 95% CI 4.1%-7.3%, P<0.0001) and in the phaco-solo group (mean difference=7.4%; 95% CI 5.7%-9.1%, P<0.0001). ECD reduction was similar in XEN+phaco and phaco-solo groups (P=0.9). In absolute terms, ECD reduction was significantly greater in the XEN+phaco (mean difference=169±306, P=0.021) and in the phaco-solo (mean difference=192±302, P=0.0022) groups than in the XEN-solo group.CONCLUSIONS:
The mean ECD reduction 6 months after XEN implantation was low. The ECD reduction in the XEN+phaco group was larger than in the XEN-solo group but was similar to that observed in the phaco-solo group.
