The incidence was higher in patients with preexisting glaucoma, bullous keratopathy (BK), aphakia, pseudophakia, failed graft, and surgical indication of trauma. ![]() The highest incidence value was found when only studies using Goldmann tonometer were included (22.5%), while the lowest incidence was found when a strict definition was used and steroid-induced PPKG was excluded (12.1%). The incidence varied according to different definitions. Overall (Definition I) pooled incidence in all studies was 21.5% (95% CI 17.8%, 25.7%). SYSTEMATIC REVIEW VS META ANALYSIS PLUSExact PKKG definitions used in the literature could be classified in to three subgroups: I, ocular hypertension (> 21mmHg) after PK II, I plus > 4 weeks medical treatment required III, II plus treatment escalation among patients with preexisting glaucoma. Thirty studies reporting on 27146 patients were included in the analysis of the incidence and risk factors for PKKG. ![]()
