Nomogram for predicting implant exposure risk following enucleation or evisceration with vicryl-meshed hydroxyapatite implants

Key Points

To develop a nomogram that identifies patients at higher risk of implant exposure after vicryl-meshed hydroxyapatite implantation.
Developed a nomogram based on clinical data from patients undergoing enucleation or evisceration.
Focused on patients receiving vicryl-meshed hydroxyapatite implants.
Analyzed risk factors associated with implant exposure.
Identified specific risk factors that contribute to higher rates of implant exposure.
Provided a tool for clinicians to tailor preventive strategies for at-risk patients.

Abstract

This nomogram provides a practical tool for identifying patients at higher risk of exposure following vicryl-meshed HA implantation and may inform individualised preventive strategies. As this is a single-centre study, its applicability is currently limited to this implant type and wrapping technique, and external validation in other centres and populations is needed to confirm its generalisability.
