Abstract
The results of analyses of 1218 consecutive corneal transplants performed in a single centre reveal that the most important prognostic factors for corneal allograft survival are recipient corneal vascularisation, graft diameter, HLA-A and B matching especially for high risk patients, organ culture storage of donor corneas prior to transplantation and donor age.This publication has 17 references indexed in Scilit:
