PURPOSE: To analyze changes in intraocular pressure (IOP) after @entity231 surgery based on data from the Swedish National @entity231 Register (NCR). SETTING: Ophthalmic surgery units in Sweden. DESIGN: Prospective database study. METHODS: Data for 2012 through 2014 were obtained prospectively from the NCR. The outcome register of the NCR has collected data on IOP before and a mean of 37.7 days    29.1 (SD) after @entity231 surgery since  2012. RESULTS: The analyses were based on 20   437 @entity231 extractions reported during 1 month each year to the outcome registry of the NCR. @entity231 surgery was found to reduce IOP by a mean of 1.46 mm Hg, which was statistically significant (P < .001). A larger IOP reduction was seen in cases with a higher preoperative IOP (r = 0.557, P < .001). Older @entity1 and @entity735 had a greater IOP reduction after surgery (P < .001 and P = .001, respectively). @entity1 had a greater IOP reduction than @entity1 (P = .04) When high IOP was given as an indication for surgery, the IOP reduction after @entity231 surgery was 5.50 mm Hg compared with a reduction of 1.40 mm Hg in @entity1 for whom this indication was not given (P < .001). @entity1 with @entity726 or @entity9998 ( @entity9998 ) had a more pronounced IOP reduction than @entity1 without these diagnoses (P < .001). CONCLUSION: @entity231 surgery had an IOP-lowering effect, in particular in older @entity1 , @entity1 , @entity735 , eyes with high preoperative IOP, and eyes with @entity726 or @entity9998 .
