NCT ID NCT03635268
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 360,000 French patients who received eye injections for conditions like age-related macular degeneration. The goal was to find out how often a serious eye infection called endophthalmitis happens within 28 days after the injection. Researchers analyzed data from 2007 to 2015 to understand the risks.
