Tóm tắt

 PRCIS: In this retrospective cohort study, the 1-year cumulative probability of failure was comparable, achieving 52.20% in the phacoemulsification-iStent inject W (phaco/iStent) group and 47.80% in the phacoemulsification-micropulse transscleral laser therapy (phaco/MPTLT) group (P=0.994). PURPOSE: To compare the 1-year efficacy and safety of phacoemulsification combined with iStent Inject W (phaco/iStent) and phacoemulsification combined with micropulse transscleral laser therapy (phaco/MPTLT). METHODS: Retrospective cohort study that included patients with mild-moderate open angle glaucoma (OAG) and cataract who underwent either phaco/iStent or phaco/MPTLT in a tertiary hospital in Singapore between August 1, 2016 and December 31, 2022. The primary outcome measures were cumulative probabilities of failure between the two groups with failure defined as disease progression by Ocular Coherence Tomography (OCT-RNFL) or Visual Field Test (VFT), repeat glaucoma surgery, and inability to maintain intraocular pressure (IOP) lower than pre-operative baseline or the use of glaucoma medications for 2 consecutive visits after 1 month post-operatively. Additionally, post-operative mean IOP, average number of IOP lowering medications, visual acuity, and complications were analyzed. RESULTS: Forty-six patients were included. 23 eyes underwent phaco/iStent and 23 had phaco/MPTLT. The two groups had comparable cumulative probabilities of failure (52.20% phaco/iStent, 47.80% phaco/MPTLT
  P=0.994) and mean IOP (15.57+2.95 mmHg phaco /iStent, 14.39+2.25 mmHg phaco/MPTLT
  P=0.136) after 1 year. The change in IOP before surgery to 12 months is -1.04+3.07 mmHg in the phaco/iStent group (P=0.593) and -2.43+4.12 mmHg in the phaco/MPTLT group (P=0.022). Both achieved significant medication reduction burden (P<
 0.05). Intra-operative and post-operative complication rates were similar. CONCLUSION: Both groups showed comparable surgical efficacy and safety after 1 year. The phaco/MPTLT group demonstrated sustained IOP reduction 1 year post-operatively.
