Abstract Background: Open globe injury (OGI) is one of the most devastating form of ocular trauma. The aim of the study is to identify the epidemiology and predict visual outcomes in traumatic open globe injuries using ocular trauma score (OTS) and correlate with final visual acuity (VA) at 3 months. Methods: Patients older than 5 years, presenting to B.P. Koirala Lions Centre for Ophthalmic Studies (BPKLCOS) from March 2016- March 2017 with OGI that met inclusion criteria were evaluated. Patient profile, nature and cause of injury, and time to presentation were recorded. Patients were managed accordingly and followed up to 3 months. An OTS score for each patient was calculated and raw scores were categorized accordingly. The VA after 3 months were compared to the predicted OTS values. Results: Seventy-three eyes of 72 patients were examined. 76% were male, and the mean age was 26.17 years (median, 23.5 years). The mean time from injury to presentation was <6 hours (30 patients, 41%). Thirty-seven eyes (51%) had zone I trauma, followed by twenty eyes (27%) with zone II, and sixteen eyes (22%) with zone III trauma. Sixty-five patients (90%) were managed surgically, and fifty (68%) received intravitreal antibiotics with steroid. When compared, the projected VA as per OTS were able to predict actual final visual outcomes in 60% of the eyes with OGI of various zones (p<0.05). Conclusion: OTS can be an accurate predictive tool for final visual acuity even with a short follow up period of 3 months; with poor presenting visual acuity, delayed presentation, posterior zones of injury, need for intravitreal injections, endophthalmitis, and globe rupture associated with poorer prognosis.

Abstract Aim To compare the ocular trauma score (OTS) and the pediatric ocular trauma score (POTS) as prognostic models of visual outcome after open globe injury in children during a period of 19 years. Patients and Methods A retrospective study of 36 open globe injuries in 36 patients younger than 18 years was conducted from January 2000 to January 2019. For each case, OTS and POTS points were calculated. Results Significant differences were observed in our patients using the two models regarding categories 1 to 4. One third of the cases were in categories 1 and 2 using the OTS model, and nearly 60% using the POTS model. Nearly 60% of our patients were in categories 3 and 4 using the OTS model and 30.6% using the POTS model. In category 5, no difference was observed between the two models. The comparison of distribution of the percentage of final visual acuity between OTS and POTS model in each category revealed a significant difference in category 1 in final visual acuity 20/40 or more (25 vs. 50%) as well as in final visual acuity 20/20 (0 vs. 30%). In category 2, final visual acuity was not significantly different in 20/40 or more between the two models; however, there was a significant difference in final visual acuity 20/20 – 12.5% in the OTS model and 45.5% in the POTS model. In category 3, significant differences were revealed between the two models. Using the OTS model, final visual acuity 20/40 or more was observed in more than 60% and using POTS model in 100%; final visual acuity 20/20 was observed in 36.3% using OTS model and in 50% using POTS model. In category 4 and 5, no differences were observed between OTS and POTS models. Conclusion Our study did not confirm the benefit of POTS. The distribution of our cases among OTS categories demonstrated a significant difference between the two models with more cases distributed in lower categories in POTS group. In the POTS group, the prognosis for final visual acuity was significantly better in the first three categories than in the OTS group, probably as a result of a lower calculation for POTS points. In our opinion, the OTS model is easier to use, has a higher prognostic accuracy, and should be further used in counselling of paediatric cases.

Purpose. We report the clinical characteristics, prognostic factors, and surgical outcomes for 23-gauge pars plana vitrectomy (23-G PPV) in pediatric cases of traumatic retinal detachment (RD). Methods. Medical records of pediatric patients who underwent 23-G PPV to treat traumatic retinal detachment were retrospectively reviewed. These patients underwent a follow-up examination at least 1 year following surgery. Associations between various preoperative factors and anatomical and visual outcomes were analyzed. An Ocular Trauma Score (OTS) and a Pediatric Ocular Trauma Score (POTS) were calculated for each patient. Raw scores were converted to their corresponding OTS and POTS categories. Final visual acuities by categories were compared with those in the OTS and POTS studies. Results. The mean age of the patients was 9 ± 4 years, and the male-to-female ratio was 4.7 : 1. The mean follow-up time was 23 ± 14 months. Anatomical success was achieved in 72% of the eyes, and functional success (>5/200) was achieved in 37% of the eyes. Functional success was less common among patients with visual acuities less than hand motion, macula-off retinal detachment, proliferative vitreoretinopathy at presentation, and recurrent retinal detachment during follow-up. When we compared the categorical distribution of final visual acuities in all categories, our results were significantly different than those suggested by OTS and POTS. Conclusions. Visual outcomes are poorer compared to anatomical outcomes. OTS and POTS do not provide reliable prognostic information if the patient has RD. Presenting visual acuity, the presence of macula-off RD, and PVR are all important predictors of final visual acuity.

Abstract BackgroundTo identify prognostic factors determining final visual outcome following open globe injuries.MethodsRetrospective case series of patients presenting to Westmead Hospital, Sydney, Australia with open globe injuries from 1st January 2005 to 31st December 2017. Data collected included demographic information, ocular injury details, management and initial and final visual acuities.ResultsA total of 104 cases were identified. Predictors of poor final visual outcomes included poor presenting visual acuity (p < 0.001), globe rupture (p < 0.001), retinal detachment (p < 0.001), Zone III wounds (p < 0.001), hyphema (p=0.003), lens expulsion (p = 0.003) and vitreous hemorrhage (p < 0.001). Multivariate analysis demonstrated presenting visual acuity (p < 0.001), globe rupture (p = 0.013) and retinal detachment (p = 0.011) as being statistically significant for predicting poor visual outcomes. The presence of lid laceration (p = 0.197) and uveal prolapse (p = 0.667) were not significantly associated with the final visual acuity. ConclusionsPoor presenting visual acuity, globe rupture and retinal detachment are the most important prognostic factors determining final visual acuity following open globe injury.
