Patients were divided into two groups according to the presence or absence of HP. The data were analyzed for factors associated with HP. The surgical outcomes including surgical failure, post-operative visual acuity (VA), post-operative number of medications, post-operative intraocular pressure (IOP), and post-operative complication were compared between the two groups.Results: Seventy-two patients were included. Most were diagnosed with secondary glaucoma (N=51, 70.8%), and Baerveldt was the most implanted GDD (N=49, 68.1%). Mean ± SD of IOP was significantly lower: 27.1±9.6 mmHg at pre-operation and 13.7±59 mmHg at 12-month follow-up (p<0.001). HP was identified in 38/72 patients (52.8%, 95% CI 40.7–64.7). Risk factor of HP was pre-operative VA equal or better than 20/70 (p=0.021, OR 7.5; 95% CI 1.4–41.4). Presence of underlying heart disease (patients in this group had taken anti-platelets) was found as a protective factor for HP (p=0.027, OR 0.06; 95% CI 0.00–0.72). It was speculated that the anti-inflammatory effect of the anti-platelets, particularly aspirin, may be responsible for controlling inflammation and retarding fibrosis formation around drainage implants. Failure rate at 12 months was 24/72 (33%). There was no difference in all surgical outcomes between the two groups. Survival analysis also showed no significant difference between HP and non-HP group.Conclusion: HP commonly occurred after GDD implantation. Pre-operative VA was a risk factor for the development of HP, whereas presence of underlying heart disease was a protective factor. No association between HP and surgical outcomes was identified.
