Visual acuity, pachymetry and ECD measured 6 and 12 months after surgery
| DSEK | N | DSAEK | N | p‐Value | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| CDVA at 6 months (logMAR) | 0.29 ± 0.24 | 18 | 0.28 ± 0.22 | 41 | 0.885 |
| CDVA at 12 months (logMAR) | 0.18 ± 0.15 | 18 | 0.25 ± 0.27 | 41 | 0.244 |
| Pachymetry at 6 months (μm) | 527 ± 39 | 17 | 584 ± 49 | 37 | <0.001 |
| Pachymetry at 12 months (μm) | 521 ± 39 | 15 | 588 ± 59 | 35 | <0.001 |
| ECD at 6 months (cells/mm2) | 1179 ± 128 (53% decrease*) | 12 | 1322 ± 502 (52% decrease*) | 37 | 0.382 |
| ECD at 12 months (cells/mm2) | 1156 ± 321 (54% decrease*) | 13 | 1320 ± 470 (52% decrease*) | 30 | 0.401 |
CDVA = corrected distance visual acuity, ECD = endothelial cell density, logMAR = log of the minimum angle of resolution.
*
The decrease in ECD compared to the graft baseline value.
