About this study

Official title: Predictive Factors of Good Results After Primary Descemet's Membrane Endothelial Keratoplasty (DMEK): Retrospective Study About 102 Eyes

Aim: Identify predictive factors of good results after primary Descemet's Membrane Endothelial Keratoplasty (DMEK) in Fuchs Endothelial Corneal Dystrophy (FECD).

82 patients (102 eyes) with Fuchs Endothelial Corneal Dystrophy (FECD) underwent DMEK between March 2016 and March 2018 were analyzed. Follow-up time was 12 months. The studied prognostic criteria were: pre-operative Central Corneal Thickness (CCT), CCT's delta between pre and D15 post-operatively, anterior mean keratometry, pre-operative endothelial cell density (ECD) and postoperative ECD at 6 and 12 months, pre-operative visual acuity, donors' and recipients' ages, recipients' sex, rebubbling and triple procedure (DMEK combined with cataract surgery).

Aim: Identify predictive factors of good results after primary Descemet's Membrane Endothelial Keratoplasty (DMEK) in Fuchs Endothelial Corneal Dystrophy (FECD).

A monocentric retrospective observational study was realized at the Regional Hospital Center of Metz-Thionville, Mercy Hospital, Metz, France.

102 eyes of 82 patients with Fuchs Endothelial Corneal Dystrophy (FECD) underwent DMEK between March 2016 and March 2018 were analyzed. Follow-up time was 12 months. The studied prognostic criteria were: pre-operative Central Corneal Thickness (CCT), CCT's delta between pre and D15 post-operatively, anterior mean keratometry, pre-operative endothelial cell density (ECD) and postoperative ECD at 6 and 12 months, pre-operative visual acuity, donors' and recipients' ages, recipients' sex, rebubbling and triple procedure (DMEK combined with cataract surgery). Surgery was considered successful when best spectacle corrected visual acuity (BSCVA) was 0.1 logMar or less (≥0.8) 1 year postoperatively.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Pre-operative Central Corneal Thickness (CCT),

    Pre-operative CCT (μm) measured by an anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT; RS-3000; Nidek Co. Ltd, Japan)

    Measured: day 1

  2. Post-operative Central Corneal Thickness (CCT),

    Post-operative CCT (μm) measured by an anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT; RS-3000; Nidek Co. Ltd, Japan)

    Measured: Months 12

  3. CCT's delta

    CCT's delta (μm) between pre and D15 post-operatively

    Measured: day 15

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. anterior mean keratometry

    anterior mean keratometry (calculated by an auto keratometer Visionix Luneau L67, France)

    Measured: day 1

  2. pre-operative endothelial cell density ECD

    pre-operative ECD (using a non-contact specular microscope CEM-530; Nidek Co. Ltd, Japan)

    Measured: day1

  3. post-operative endothelial cell density (ECD)

    post-operative ECD at 6 months (using a non-contact specular microscope CEM-530; Nidek Co. Ltd, Japan)

    Measured: 6 months

  4. post-operative endothelial cell density (ECD)

    post-operative ECD at 12 months (using a non-contact specular microscope CEM-530; Nidek Co. Ltd, Japan)

    Measured: 12 months

  5. pre-operative Visual Acuity

    pre-operative Visual Acuity (using Monoyer chart and converted it to logMar scale)

    Measured: day 1

  6. donors' and recipients' ages

    donors' and recipients' ages

    Measured: day 1

  7. recipients' sex

    recipients' sex

    Measured: day 1

  8. rate of rebubbling

    the rate of rebubbling %(postoperative graft detachment)

    Measured: months 6

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Endothelial Corneal Dystrophy, run by Centre Hospitalier Régional Metz-Thionville.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 6 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Jul 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Pre-operative Central Corneal Thickness (CCT), (time frame: day 1). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 14 Jul 2020.
