Predictive Value of Corneal Donor Demographics on Endothelial Cell Density

Predictive Value of Corneal Donor Demographics on Endothelial Cell Density

PURPOSE:Corneal endothelial cell density (ECD) is an important measure for determining suitability for transplantation. Although age has been correlated with ECD, the impact of sex and ethnicity is unclear. METHODS:Corneal donor information from SightLife Eye Bank was collected between 2012 and 2016...

Zusammenfassung:PURPOSE:Corneal endothelial cell density (ECD) is an important measure for determining suitability for transplantation. Although age has been correlated with ECD, the impact of sex and ethnicity is unclear. METHODS:Corneal donor information from SightLife Eye Bank was collected between 2012 and 2016. Tests of association were adjusted for covariates using linear regression including age, race, and sex. “Unsuitable for transplantation” was a label assigned to specimens with extensive cell dropout, ECD
