Although the prognosis of endophthalmitis has much improved with the advances of antibiotics and vitreoretinal surgery, of the number of patients that required evisceration or enucleation is still significant. We retrospectively reviewed the charts of 210 eyes of 210 patients with endophthalmitis andcompared the group that required evisceration or enucleation with those that received salvaging therapies. Regression analysis was used to identify the risk factors for evisceration or enucleation. Thirty eyes (14.3%) underwent enucleation or evisceration. The group of eviscerated or enucleated eyes were older (58.7 vs. 42.2 years, p\u2009&lt;\u20090.001), had more women (56.7% vs. 22.2%, p\u2009=\u20090.003), had poorer initial visual acuity (2.79 vs. 2.10 LogMAR, p\u2009&lt;\u20090.001) and had longer duration before intervention (18.03 vs. 5.74 days, p\u2009=\u20090.031). The most common primary indications for endophthalmitis were infections from corneal ulcer (50.0% vs. 4.4%, p\u2009&lt;\u20090.001) andfrom endogenous source (23.3% vs. 5.6%, p\u2009&lt;\u20090.001). Less common indications were trauma (26.7% vs. 67.8%, p\u2009&lt;\u20090.001) and postoperative (6.7% vs. 22.2%, p\u2009=\u20090.049) endophthalmitis. After adjusting for confounding factors, corneal ulcer-related endophthalmitis, endogenous endophthalmitis and initial visual acuity were the independent risk factors for evisceration or enucleation.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1038\/srep28100","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,6,15]],"date-time":"2016-06-15T12:40:29Z","timestamp":1465994429000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":52,"title":["Risk factors for endophthalmitis requiring evisceration or enucleation"],"prefix":"10.1038","volume":"6","author":[{"given":"Xuehui","family":"Lu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Danny Siu-Chun","family":"Ng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kangkeng","family":"Zheng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kun","family":"Peng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Chuang","family":"Jin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Honghe","family":"Xia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Weiqi","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Haoyu","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016,6,15]]},"reference":[{"key":"BFsrep28100_CR1","first-page":"75","volume":"107","author":"I Obuchowska","year":"2005","unstructured":"Obuchowska, I., Sherkawey, N., Elmdhm, S., Mariak, Z. & Stankiewicz, A.
