Abstract：
PURPOSE:Previous studies have reported conflicting results on the influence of seasons on post-cataract surgery endophthalmitis incidences. This study aimed to investigate the seasonality associated with the incidence of postoperative endophthalmitis, and to evaluate its association with climate variables in South Korea. SETTING:South Korea. DESIGN:Retrospective cohort study. METHODS:The postoperative endophthalmitis incidences were identified using the Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service claim data from July 2014 to June 2017. The monthly climate data were obtained from the Korea Meteorological Administration. The incidences of endophthalmitis were analyzed by the month of the year, and by the season. The association between postoperative endophthalmitis and the climatic variables, including mean temperature, relative humidity, precipitation, and hours of sunshine, was investigated. RESULTS:The incidences were the highest in July, and they were the most prevalent during the summer months, although fewer cataract surgeries were performed in the summer months than during the rest of the year. The postoperative endophthalmitis incidences tended to increase with increasing relative humidity and increasing precipitation. CONCLUSIONS:The incidences of post-cataract surgery endophthalmitis peaked during the hot and humid months. Understanding the seasonal and climatic influences on postoperative infection might help in risk stratification and outcome improvisation after the cataract surgery is performed.
