Patients and methods: All hospitalizations of patients, in the National Database of Hospitalizations, who underwent cataract surgery alone or in combined procedures in Poland between January 2010 and December 2015, with a billing code of endophthalmitis, were selected. Acute endophthalmitis was identified if symptoms occurred within 1\u201342 days from the cataract surgery and chronic endophthalmitis if symptoms occurred \u226543 days after cataract surgery, respectively. Results: In total, 1331 cases of POE after 1,218,777 cataract extractions were identified. The overall incidence of POE decreased from 0.125% in 2010 to 0.066% in 2015. In multiple logistic regression analyses, increasing age was significantly associated with acute POE, while type II diabetes mellitus, extracapsular cataract extraction, and one-day surgery were significantly associated with chronic POE. The combined cataract surgery and male sex were significant risk factors for both acute and chronic POE. A total of 62.51% of all eyes affected by POE received antibiotic treatment and 37.49% had vitrectomy treatment. Conclusions: During the study period, the total incidence of postoperative endophthalmitis after cataract surgery decreased significantly.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph16122188","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,6,20]],"date-time":"2019-06-20T10:49:59Z","timestamp":1561027799000},"page":"2188","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":25,"title":["Incidence and Characteristics of Endophthalmitis after Cataract Surgery in Poland, during 2010\u20132015"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"16","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6304-1545","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Micha\u0142 S.","family":"Nowak","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Provisus Eye Clinic, Czestochowa 42-209, Poland"},{"name":"Saint Family Hospital Medical Center, Lodz 90-302, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3724-2391","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Andrzej","family":"Grzybowski","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, University of Warmia and Mazury, Olsztyn 10-082, Poland"},{"name":"Institute for Research in Ophthalmology, Foundation for Ophthalmology Development, Poznan 60-554, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Katarzyna","family":"Michalska-Ma\u0142ecka","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, School of Medicine in Katowice, Medical University of Silesia, Katowice 40-952, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jacek P.","family":"Szaflik","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, SPKSO (Samodzielny Publiczny Kliniczny Szpital Okulistyczny) Ophthalmic Hospital, Medical University of Warsaw, Warsaw 03-709, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Milena","family":"Kozio\u0142","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Analyses and Strategies, Polish Ministry of Health, Warsaw 00-952, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Wojciech","family":"Niemczyk","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Analyses and Strategies, Polish Ministry of Health, Warsaw 00-952, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4190-4826","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Iwona","family":"Grabska-Liberek","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, Centre of Postgraduate Medical Education, 231 Czerniakowska str., Warsaw 01-416, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,6,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e8941","DOI":"10.1097\/MD.0000000000008941","article-title":"Acute postcataract endophthalmitis at a referral center in northern Taiwan: Causative organisms, clinical features, and visual acuity outcomes after treatment: A retrospective cohort study","volume":"96","author":"Chen","year":"2017","journal-title":"Medicine"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"295","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ophtha.2015.08.023","article-title":"Endophthalmitis Occurring after Cataract Surgery: Outcomes of More Than 480,000 Cataract Surgeries, Epidemiologic Features, and Risk Factors","volume":"123","author":"Jabbarvand","year":"2016","journal-title":"Ophthalmology"},{"key":"ref_3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Endophthalmitis Study Group, European Society of Cataract & Refractive Surgeons (2007).
