In order to reduce the risk of endophthalmitis after cataract extraction in patients living in substandard conditions, phacoemulsification is proposed as preferable to ECCE.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/112067210201200509","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,1,19]],"date-time":"2018-01-19T00:31:42Z","timestamp":1516321902000},"page":"395-400","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["A Comparison of Endophthalmitis after Phacoemulsification or Extracapsular Cataract Extraction in a Socio-Economically Deprived Environment: A Retrospective Analysis of 2446 Patients"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"P.","family":"Kalpadakis","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Eye Clinic, Ludwig-Maximilians University, Munich - Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"I.","family":"Tsinopoulos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Eye Clinic, General Hospital of Komotini - Greece"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"G.","family":"Rudolph","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Eye Clinic, Ludwig-Maximilians University, Munich - Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"K.","family":"Schebitz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Eye Clinic, Ludwig-Maximilians University, Munich - Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"S.J.","family":"Froehlich","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Eye Clinic, Ludwig-Maximilians University, Munich - Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2002,9,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-112067210201200509","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0161-6420(91)32053-0"},{"key":"bibr2-112067210201200509","unstructured":"Regions of Greece: East Macedonia \u2013Thrace.
