Key PointsQuestionDo baseline clinical features predict the risk of developing corneal perforation and/or undergoing therapeutic penetrating keratoplasty in infectious keratitis? FindingsIn this post hoc analysis of patients in the Mycotic Ulcer Treatment Trial II, we found that a baseline presence of hypopyon and infiltrate depth and size were statistically significant predictors of corneal perforation and/or the need for therapeutic penetrating keratoplasty. MeaningIdentifying patients who are at high risk of experiencing a poor outcome may be useful to allocate resources, particularly in resource-poor settings.
