摘要: Indications for penetrating keratoplasty (PK) in the developing world from a large series are not well documented. This study was done to evaluate indications PK major eye care institution India. The records consecutive of 1,964 PKs were analysed and multiple logistic regression used effect age, socioeconomic status sex on PK. corneal scarring 551 (28.1%) including adherent leukoma 147 (7.5%), regrafts 336 (17.1%), active infectious keratitis 239 (12.2%), aphakic bullous keratopathy 231 (11.8%), pseudophakic 209 (10.6%), dystrophies 165 (8.4%) Fuchs' dystrophy 23 (1.2%), keratoconus 118 (6%), miscellaneous 115 (5.9%). odds that patient belonged lower significantly higher if (odds ratio 2.73, p<0.0001), 1.72, p=0.0009) or regraft 1.44, p=0.047). Corneal scarring, leukoma, relatively more common whereas keratoconus, less India than reported developed world. which carry poorer prognosis graft survival
