Patients were randomized to receive 3 drops of 10% PVI into the conjunctival sac (study group) or no PVI drops (control group). All patients underwent periorbital disinfection with 10% PVI followed by irrigation of the conjunctiva with 10 mL of 1% PVI. Specimens were obtained prior to the application of PVI, after antibiotic administration (T1), after irrigation with PVI but before surgery (T2), and at the conclusion of surgery (T3).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>After PVI disinfection, the number of positive cultures was significantly reduced in all groups (p&lt;0.0001) from 69%-93% at T1 to 1%-16% at T3. In outpatients, the study group showed significantly fewer positive cultures at the conclusion of surgery compared to the control group (4% vs 16%; p=0.03). Also in inpatients significant fewer positive cultures were found in the study group compared to the control group at T2 (12% vs 28%; p=0.03) and at T3 (1% vs 10%; p=0.03).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Three additional drops of 10% PVI prior to surgery provided additional benefit by reducing the conjunctival bacterial contamination rate even in the setting of preoperative irrigation of the conjunctiva with 1% PVI.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.5301\/ejo.5000093","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2011,12,6]],"date-time":"2011-12-06T11:28:24Z","timestamp":1323170904000},"page":"541-546","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":30,"title":["Application of 10% Povidone Iodine Reduces Conjunctival Bacterial Contamination Rate in Patients Undergoing Cataract Surgery"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"22","author":[{"given":"Martin M.","family":"Nentwich","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, Ludwig-Maximilians-University, Munich -
