Impact of Donor Diabetes Severity on 1-Year Outcomes After Descemet Membrane Endothelial Keratoplasty: Insights from the Diabetes Endothelial Keratoplasty Study

Impact of Donor Diabetes Severity on 1-Year Outcomes After Descemet Membrane Endothelial Keratoplasty: Insights from the Diabetes Endothelial Keratoplasty Study

A thorough secondary analysis of a randomized clinical trial reveals no significant association between cornea donor diabetes severity and graft success, endothelial cell loss, or morphometric parameters at 1 year post-DMEK, supporting the use of diabetic donor corneas without additional preoperative risk stratification.
