Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Success rates of intraocular pressure control during the postoperative follow-up period of the glaucoma sugeries. Evaluated as intraocular pressure measurements at 6, 12, 18 and 24 months postop, considering reference values: <18mmHg (criterion 1) and 15 mmHg (criterion 2). Analysis performed with survival analysis and log-rank test. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Outcome 1: differences in intraocular pressure values between groups in the postoperative period.Analysis performed with independent t test.;Outcome 2: differences in the number of hypotensive eyedrops (measured as number of medications in use) between groups in the postoperative period. Analysis performed with independent t test.;Outcome 3: differences in the number of postoperative surgical complications (measured as frequency of each complication) between groups. Analysis performed with independent t test.;Outcome 4: differences in the need for reoperation rates (measured as frequency of need for reoperation) between groups in the postoperative period. Analysis performed with independent t test. | — |
