Survival analysis for success of Molteno tube implants

AIM To apply survival analysis in assessing the long term outcome of Molteno tube implantation and to identify risk factors for failure. METHODS A retrospective, 10 year, consecutive case series study of 119 eyes that underwent implantation of a Molteno tube. The main outcome measures considered wer...

Zusammenfassung:	AIM To apply survival analysis in assessing the long term outcome of Molteno tube implantation and to identify risk factors for failure. METHODS A retrospective, 10 year, consecutive case series study of 119 eyes that underwent implantation of a Molteno tube. The main outcome measures considered were intraocular pressure (IOP), visual acuity, and complications. RESULTS A 30% or greater reduction in IOP was achieved in 68.9% of cases. However, the overall, “complete success” rate (IOP
