Outbreak of Postoperative Endophthalmitis in a Thai Tertiary Care Center
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 02 January 2015
Abstract
We performed a study with a 1:3 ratio of case patients (n = 11) to control patients (n = 33) to evaluate risk factors for postoperative endophthalmitis in a Thai tertiary care center. Multivariate analysis revealed that diabetes mellitus and surgeon A were associated risk factors. Preoperative diabetes mellitus control and the improvement of infection control practices led to the termination of the outbreak.
