简介
Purpose
To determine whether sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) gas is noninferior to longer-acting gases in macular hole surgery and whether withholding postoperative face-down positioning (FDP) is noninferior to FDP.
Design
Registry-style, prospective, nonrandomized, observational cohort study.
Participants
Patients with idiopathic macular holes undergoing primary surgery.
Methods
Surgeons were invited to submit clinical details of all macular hole cases receiving surgery. Baseline demographic and clinical information were collected, as well as details of surgical intervention and postoperative posturing advice. Primary follow-up data were collected 3 months postoperatively.
Main Outcome Measures
Macular hole closure at 3 months. A noninferiority approach was used, with a noninferiority margin set at 5% decreased frequency of success.
Results
A total of 2456 eyes of 2367 patients were included in the study …
