Predictors of Endothelial Cell Loss after Phacoemulsification for the Treatment of Primary Angle Closure

Table 4

Comparison of endothelial cell density change in primary angle closure and in open-angle glaucoma.

	Primary angle closure			Open-angle glaucoma
	Preoperative	12 months	Difference	Preoperative	12 months	Difference
ECD (cells/mm^2)	2274 (463)	1964 (613)	−310	2453 (359)	2186 (479)	−267
value	<0.001			<0.001

Data are mean (SD). ECD = endothelial cell density. Data for open-angle glaucoma were obtained from the work of Ianchulev et al. [20].
