dc.description.abstractBackground/Purpose:The purpose of this study was to analyze Descemet stripping endothelial keratoplasty (DSEK) outcomes and develop a nomogram to compute the probability of 3- and 5-year DSEK graft survival based on risk factors.Study Design/Methods:The medical records of 794 DSEK procedures between January 1, 2008, and August 1, 2019, were retrospectively reviewed to identify 37 variables. We also evaluated for the presence of corneal graft failure, defined as irreversible and visually significant graft edema, haze, or scarring. Variables were assessed by multivariable Cox models, and a nomogram was created to predict the probability of 3- and 5-year graft survival.Results:Graft failure occurred in 80 transplants (10.1%). The strongest risk factors for graft failure included graft detachment [hazard ratio (HR) = 4.46; P < 0.001], prior glaucoma surgery (HR = 3.14; P = 0.001), and glaucoma (HR = 2.23; P = 0.018). A preoperative diagnosis of Fuchs dystrophy was associated with a decreased risk of graft failure (HR = 0.47; P = 0.005) compared with secondary corneal edema. Our nomogram has a concordance index of 0.75 (95% confidence interval, 0.69 to 0.81), which indicates that it may predict the probability of graft survival at 3 and 5 years with reasonable accuracy. We also analyzed graft rejection, which occurred in 39 cases (4.9%). The single risk factor found to be significantly associated with graft rejection was prior glaucoma surgery (HR = 2.87; P = 0.008).Conclusions:Our nomogram may accurately predict DSEK graft survival after 3 and 5 years based on 4 variables. This nomogram will empower surgeons to share useful data with patients and improve collective clinical decision-making.en_US
