Between December 2016 and December 2020, the current study examined 47 \u03bcLOT and 52 KDB eyes that underwent surgery. When there was a &lt; 20% reduction in the preoperative intraocular pressure (IOP) or when the IOP was &gt; 18 mmHg (criterion A), the IOP was &gt; 14 mmHg (criterion B) at two consecutive follow-up visits, or when there was a requirement for reoperation, these were all considered to indicate that the surgery failed. A genetic algorithm that used the preoperative IOP was used to determine the score matching. After score matching, a total of 27 eyes were evaluated. In the \u03bcLOT and KDB groups, the mean postoperative follow-up periods were 31.2 \u00b1 13.3 and 37.2 \u00b1 16.3 months, respectively. The results for both of the groups show there were significant postoperative reductions in the IOP (p &lt; 0.05) and medication scores (p &lt; 0.05) at 6, 12, 24 and 36 months. At 12, 24, and 36 months, the probabilities of success in the \u03bcLOT and KDB groups for criterion A were 70.4% and 48.2%, 61.9% and 48.2%, and 55.0% and 48.2% (p = 0.32; log-rank test), respectively. For criterion B, the results for the two groups were 55.6% and 33.3%, 44.4% and 33.3%, and 44.4% and 33.3% (p = 0.15; log-rank test), respectively. Similar postoperative complications were found between the groups. Comparable mid-term surgical outcomes were found for the uses of \u03bcLOT and KDB.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm12020558","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,11]],"date-time":"2023-01-11T03:40:35Z","timestamp":1673408435000},"page":"558","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["Comparison of Mid-Term Outcomes between Microhook ab Interno Trabeculotomy and Goniotomy with the Kahook Dual Blade"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0331-4104","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Naoki","family":"Okada","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Science, Hiroshima University, Hiroshima 734-8551, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kazuyuki","family":"Hirooka","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Science, Hiroshima University, Hiroshima 734-8551, Japan"},{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, Kagawa University Faculty of Medicine, Kagawa District 761-0793, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0494-0406","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hiromitsu","family":"Onoe","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Science, Hiroshima University, Hiroshima 734-8551, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0943-2219","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hideaki","family":"Okumichi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Science, Hiroshima University, Hiroshima 734-8551, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1915-1864","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yoshiaki","family":"Kiuchi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Science, Hiroshima University, Hiroshima 734-8551, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2081","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ophtha.2014.05.013","article-title":"Global prevalence of glaucoma and projections of glaucoma burden through 2040: A systematic review and meta-analysis","volume":"121","author":"Tham","year":"2014","journal-title":"Ophthalmology"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"262","DOI":"10.1136\/bjo.2005.081224","article-title":"The number of people with glaucoma worldwide in 2010 and 2020","volume":"90","author":"Quigley","year":"2006","journal-title":"Br.
