Subjects and Methods: Retrospective observational case series. Participants were the consecutive 102 eyes from 102 Japanese subjects (55 males, 47 females; mean age \u00b1 standard deviation, 74.9 \u00b1 7.8 years) who underwent AGV implantation for primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG), completed full postoperative visits for 12 months, and had information on PAP severity graded by the Shimane University PAP Grading System (SU-PAP). Data were collected via medical chart review. Comparison of surgical success rates among groups stratified by SU-PAP grades (grades 0\u20133) using survival curve analysis. Failure was defined based on additional glaucoma surgery, IOP reduction in less than 20%, postoperative IOP exceeding 18 mmHg (definition A) or 15 mmHg (definition B), or postoperative visual acuity reduced to no light perception. Results: At 12 months postoperatively, the success rates for grades 0, 1, 2, and 3 were 47%, 43%, 42%, and 73%, respectively, for definition A (p = 0.35) and 35%, 26%, 19%, and 27%, respectively, for definition B (p = 0.64, log-rank test). For definition A, younger age was associated with surgical failure (Hazard ratio = 0.97\/year, p = 0.049, Wald test), while no other factors, including gender, preoperative IOP, medications, refractive error, history of conjunctival manipulation procedures, or SU-PAP grade, were associated with surgical failure. For definition B, no factors were found to influence surgical outcomes. Conclusions: The preoperative severity of PAP might not affect the postoperative outcomes of AGV. Given that the success rate of trabeculectomy is influenced by PAP severity, in cases with severe PAP, physicians are advised to consider long-tube shunt surgery as an initial filtration procedure or as a rescue procedure when filtration surgery is unsuccessful.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm14010042","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,12,25]],"date-time":"2024-12-25T19:29:52Z","timestamp":1735154992000},"page":"42","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["The Severity of Prostaglandin-Associated Periorbitopathy Did Not Affect the Surgical Effectiveness of the Ahmed Glaucoma Valve"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0004-5548-322X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Akiko","family":"Harano","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, Shimane University Faculty of Medicine, Izumo 693-8501, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sho","family":"Ichioka","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, Shimane University Faculty of Medicine, Izumo 693-8501, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kana","family":"Murakami","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, Shimane University Faculty of Medicine, Izumo 693-8501, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mizuki","family":"Iida","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, Shimane University Faculty of Medicine, Izumo 693-8501, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6512-7203","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Masaki","family":"Tanito","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, Shimane University Faculty of Medicine, Izumo 693-8501, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,12,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"189","DOI":"10.1007\/s10384-022-00970-9","article-title":"The Japan Glaucoma Society guidelines for glaucoma 5th edition","volume":"67","author":"Kiuchi","year":"2023","journal-title":"Jpn.
