Cornea Donor Study

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Corneal Disease, Fuch's Dystrophy, Pseudophakic Corneal Edema

In brief

The Cornea Donor Study (CDS) was designed as a prospective cohort study with the following objectives: To determine whether the graft-failure rate over a 5-year follow-up period following corneal transplantation is the same when using corneal tissue from donors older than 65 years of age compared with tissue from younger donors. To assess the relationship between donor/recipient ABO blood type compatibility and graft failure due to rejection. To assess corneal endothelial cell density as an indicator of the health of the cornea and as a alternate outcome measure (in an optional Specular Microscopy Ancillary Study).
