Purpose.
To evaluate the outcome and identify the prognostic factors of traumatic endophthalmitis over a 5-year period.
Methods.
We reviewed the medical records of all the traumatic endophthalmities that we treated in our department over the last 5 years (2009–2013).
We extracted the following parameters: age, gender, wound anatomy, associated ocular lesions, treatment, and initial and final visual acuities.
We used the program SPSS version 20.0.0.
for the statistical analysis of our data.
Results.
During the last 5 years, we treated 14 traumatic endophthalmities, representing 46.66% of all types of endophthalmities.
The infection rate in open globe injuries was 8.13% and 34.78%, if an intraocular foreign body (IOFB) was associated.
All the patients were males with the median age of 37 years.
Initial visual acuities varied between light perception and 0.4 and the timing of treatment from a few hours to 10 days.
We administered antibiotic and anti-inflammatory drugs, systemically and intravitreally, in all cases.
We performed pars plana vitrectomy in 64.28% of cases.
In 57.14% of cases, the final visual acuity was 0.1 or more.
Conclusions.
IOFBs increased significantly the risk for endophthalmitis.
The worse prognostic factors were retinal detachment at presentation and delayed treatment.
This trial is registered with IRCT2014082918966N1.
