Effect of Intravenous Mannitol on Intraocular Pressure Changes in Vitrectomized and Non-Vitrectomized Eyes: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis by HASHEM ABU SERHAN (19737499)

“…Three studies were included at 30 min and 2 studies at all other time points in the analysis. In vitrectomized eyes, notable decreases were observed: at 30 min, the Ratio of Means (ROM) was 0.81 (95% CI: 0.53; 1.24), indicating a 19% reduction; at 60 min, the ROM of 0.833 (95% CI: 0.77; 0.89) showed a 16.7% reduction; at 90 min, the ROM of 0.757 (95% CI: 0.755; 0.758) corresponded to a 24.3% reduction; at 2 h, the ROM of 0.726 (95% CI: 0.642; 0.820) reflected a 27.4% reduction; at 3 h, the ROM of 0.692 (95% CI: 0.600; 0.797) resulted in a 30.8% reduction; and at 4 h, the ROM of 0.700 (95% CI: 0.363; 1.350) indicated a 30% reduction. …”
