Contrary to accepted wisdom, cataract surgery decreases mortality rates, according to results published online ahead of print by the British Journal of Ophthalmology.
Contrary to accepted wisdom, cataract surgery in fact decreases mortality rates, according to results published online ahead of print by the British Journal of Ophthalmology.
The team determined that the patients who had undergone the phaco procedure had a statistically significant reduced rate of mortality when compared with either national or regional rates.
As this result is in contrast to the post-phaco increased mortality rate established in earlier studies, the researchers recommend further investigation and evaluation in this field.
