All glaucoma patients who underwent drainage device implantations were retrospectively reviewed from medical records and divided into three groups: stent group, ligature group, and combined group. The primary outcome was post-operative intraocular pressure (IOP) changes and BCVA (logMAR) change. The secondary outcome is treatment failure. Repeated measurements with mixed models and multi-level parametric survival model stratified by propensity score and eye side were used to compare the primary and secondary outcomes between stent group and ligature group.Main Outcome Measures: Treatment failure between two groups.Results: A total of 163 patients with a mean age of 57.11 ± 19.04 years, implanted with Baerveldt tube, were eligible. There were no significant differences between stent and ligature groups in terms of post-operative IOP changes [mean difference with 95% confidence interval = 0.53 (− 0.49, +1.55) vs − 0.02 (− 0.84, +0.81); P = 0.411] and post-operative BCVA (logMAR) change (0.02 (− 0.13, +0.18) vs – 0.05 (− 0.18, +0.07); P = 0.465). The hazard ratio and 95% confidence interval of treatment failure in ligature group were 2.57 (0.72– 9.19) compared with the stent group.Conclusion: This study suggests a trend toward a better result in the stent group compared with the ligature group. Further research with a larger sample size and randomized control trial is warranted.Keywords: glaucoma drainage device, tube shunt, glaucoma surgery, Baerveldt glaucoma implantationPetpiroon PVijittrakarnrung TSupakontanasan WTantraworasin ASuwan YDove Medical Pressarticleglaucoma drainage devicetube shuntglaucoma surgerybaerveldt glaucoma implantationOphthalmologyRE1-994ENClinical Ophthalmology, Vol Volume 14, Pp 1689-1695 (2020)
