简要总结
To compare 3 year iontophoretic transepithelial corneal cross-linking (I-ON CXL) outcomes with epithelium-off collagen cross-linking (epi-off CXL)in pediatric patients.
详细描述
Forty eyes of 28 consecutive pediatric patients (mean age 14.3±2.5 [SD] years; range, 9 to 18 years) with keratoconus were enrolled in the study. Twenty eyes of 15 patients underwent I-ON CXL, while 20 eyes of 13 patients underwent epi-off CXL. Corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA), spherical equivalent, maximum keratometry (Kmax), posterior elevation of the thinnest point and thickness of the thinnest point mean values were evaluated. A Student t test was used to compare baseline and 12, 24, and 36 month postoperative data. Keratoconus progression in function of preoperative Kmax value and cone location was evaluated at 36 months.

结局指标
主要结局
keratoconus stability
时间窗: 3 years
To evaluate change of simulated maximum K (Kmax) that was calculated by a Sirius Scheimpflug camera (CSO, Firenze, Italy) by averaging the axial curvature from the fourth to the eighth Placido rings of the flattest and steepest meridians (the amplitude of the zone taken into consideration, therefore has a vari-able diameter depending on the curvature of the cornea, and the principal meridians are not nec-essarily 90 degrees away)
