- Abstract
This research adapts the findings of the original competing risks survival analysis to include an economic assessment which focuses on the reported Nd:YAG laser capsulotomy rates of the two single-piece acrylic IOLs (Andersen et al. [1]). Cumulative incidence of Nd:YAG laser capsulotomy at 5 years postcataract surgery with SN60WF (11.5%) and ZCB00 (18.1%) from the RWE study findings underpinned the analysis. Economic analysis of real-world evidence of Nd:YAG laser capsulotomy procedures 5 years postcataract surgery between hydrophobic acrylic one-piece intraocular lens (IOLs) extrapolating to the annual population of Finnish cataract patients.
