ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE:

To identify the main predictors for corneal graft failure in patients who underwent retransplantation.

METHOD:

This is a cross-sectional research with a quantitative and analytical approach, conducted based on data from secondary sources of a Human Eye Tissue Bank (HETB) in Northeast Brazil. Data were collected from the medical charts of all patients transplanted between January 2010 and December 2014. Descriptive statistics were used for the univariate analysis by means of absolute and relative frequencies and means. For the inferential analysis, the chi-square (X²) and the Fisher's Exact tests were used.

RESULTS:

A total of 241 records were reviewed, representing 258 keratoplasties, of which 27 (10.46%) were retransplantations due to corneal graft failure. Of the total, 55.56% of the individuals were female, with a mean age of 58.56 years, 55.56% of the population was brown, and the highest relative frequency of housing found was in the Central Mesoregion. Of the corneal graft failure cases, 88.89% were due to late failure, 30.77% of cases were classified as pseudophakic and 11.57% as aphakic. Through inferential analysis, a statistical association was obtained among the variable "corneal graft failure" and mesoregion of the state, presence of glaucoma, vascularization, and classification of the eye.

CONCLUSION:

The prognosis of keratoplasty is of multifactorial nature. Factors such as mesoregion of the State (place of residence), glaucoma, corneal vascularization, and aphakic eyes represent predictors for graft failure in the analyzed sample.
