abstract = {Purpose: To assess the relationship between
pseudoexfoliation syndrome and incidence of complications
and related clinical factors in patients undergoing cataract
surgery. Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study
of 503 of 551 patients who underwent phacoemulsification
surgery over 2 years in a health care district in Northwest
Spain. In total, 120 of 681 eyes undergoing the procedure had
pseudoexfoliation syndrome. Data on the surgical procedure
and associated complications were extracted from the medical
record. Complications included any combination of posterior
capsular rupture, vitreous loss, zonular dialysis, and nuclear
or lens luxation. Results: We found a significant association
between pseudoexfoliation syndrome and zonular dialysis (odds
ratio [OR], 6.89; 95% CI, 2.27-20.93), intraoperative miosis
(OR, 2.15; 95% CI, 1.10-4.22), and lens luxation >1.5 mm
(OR, 9.49; 95% CI, 0.85-105.54). However, when adjusting for
the overall risk of complications in pseudoexfoliation syndrome
patients in consideration of myopia, use of anticoagulants
or α-agonists, previous mydriasis, and anterior chamber
length, the OR decreased to 1.02 (95% CI, 0.47-2.21) and
was therefore not significant. Conclusion: Zonular dialysis
and intraoperative miosis were intraoperative complications
in cataract surgery patients with pseudoexfoliation syndrome
when compared to controls.},
