Objectives: To evaluate the 1-year effectiveness and safety of the XEN45, either alone or in combination with phacoemulsification, in glaucoma patients. Methods: This multicentre, prospective, observational study included consecutive eyes of glaucoma patients from the Italian XEN-Glaucoma Treatment Registry (XEN-GTR) who underwent XEN45 alone or in combination with phacoemulsification, with at least 1 year of follow-up. Surgical success was defined as intraocular pressure (IOP) < 18 mmHg and ≥20% reduction from preoperative IOP, over 1 year of follow-up. Results: Two hundred thirty-nine eyes (239 patients) were analyzed, 144 (60.2%) eyes in the XEN-solo and 95 (39.8%) eyes in the XEN+Phaco groups. One hundred-sixty-eight (70.3%) eyes achieved overall success, without statistically significant differences between study groups (p = 0.07). Preoperative IOP dropped from a median (IQR) of 23.0 (20.0-26.0) mmHg to 14.0 (12.0-16.0) mmHg at month 12 (p < 0.001), with overall 39.9 ± 18.3% IOP reduction. The mean number of preoperative ocular hypotensive medications (OHM) was significantly reduced from 2.7 ± 0.9 to 0.5 ± 0.9 at month 12 (p < 0.001). Preoperative IOP < 15 mmHg (HR: 6.63; 95%CI: 2.61-16.84, p < 0.001) and temporal position of the surgeon (HR: 4.25; 95%CI: 2.62-6.88, p < 0.001) were significantly associated with surgery failure. One hundred-forty-six (61.1%) eyes had no intraoperative complications, whereas 91 (38.1%) and 56 (23.4%) eyes experienced at least one complication, respectively early (< month 1) and late (≥ month 1), all self-limiting or successfully treated without sequelae. Needling occurred in 55 (23.0%) eyes at least once during follow-up. Conclusion: Over 1-year follow-up, XEN45 alone or in combination with phacoemulsification, had comparable success rates and effectively and safely lowered IOP and the need for OHM.

Abstract

Objectives: To evaluate the 1-year effectiveness and safety of the XEN45, either alone or in combination with phacoemulsification, in glaucoma patients. Methods: This multicentre, prospective, observational study included consecutive eyes of glaucoma patients from the Italian XEN-Glaucoma Treatment Registry (XEN-GTR) who underwent XEN45 alone or in combination with phacoemulsification, with at least 1 year of follow-up. Surgical success was defined as intraocular pressure (IOP) < 18 mmHg and ≥20% reduction from preoperative IOP, over 1 year of follow-up. Results: Two hundred thirty-nine eyes (239 patients) were analyzed, 144 (60.2%) eyes in the XEN-solo and 95 (39.8%) eyes in the XEN+Phaco groups. One hundred-sixty-eight (70.3%) eyes achieved overall success, without statistically significant differences between study groups (p = 0.07). Preoperative IOP dropped from a median (IQR) of 23.0 (20.0-26.0) mmHg to 14.0 (12.0-16.0) mmHg at month 12 (p < 0.001), with overall 39.9 ± 18.3% IOP reduction. The mean number of preoperative ocular hypotensive medications (OHM) was significantly reduced from 2.7 ± 0.9 to 0.5 ± 0.9 at month 12 (p < 0.001). Preoperative IOP < 15 mmHg (HR: 6.63; 95%CI: 2.61-16.84, p < 0.001) and temporal position of the surgeon (HR: 4.25; 95%CI: 2.62-6.88, p < 0.001) were significantly associated with surgery failure. One hundred-forty-six (61.1%) eyes had no intraoperative complications, whereas 91 (38.1%) and 56 (23.4%) eyes experienced at least one complication, respectively early (< month 1) and late (≥ month 1), all self-limiting or successfully treated without sequelae. Needling occurred in 55 (23.0%) eyes at least once during follow-up. Conclusion: Over 1-year follow-up, XEN45 alone or in combination with phacoemulsification, had comparable success rates and effectively and safely lowered IOP and the need for OHM.
