To estimate endophthalmitis incidence following cataract surgery nationally and at the state level in 2003–2004 and to explore risk factors. Analysis of Medicare beneficiary claims data. 100% sample of Medicare recipients’ claims for endophthalmitis and outpatient cataract surgery services. Cataract surgeries were identified by procedure codes and merged with demographic information. Cataract annual surgical volume was calculated for all surgeons. Presumed post-operative endophthalmitis cases were identified by International Classification of Diseases-9 Clinical Modification Codes (ICD-9-CM) on claims within 42 days after surgery. Endophthalmitis rates and 95% confidence intervals were calculated at state and national levels. Logistic regression was used to investigate the association between developing endophthalmitis and surgery location and surgeon factors. Endophthalmitis incidence and risk factors. 4,006 cases of presumed endophthalmitis occurred following 3,280,966 cataract surgeries. The national rate in 2003 was 1.33 per 1000 surgeries (95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.27–1.38) and decreased to 1.11 per 1000 (95% CI: 1.06–1.16) in 2004. Males (relative risk [RR] 1.23, 95% CI: 1.15–1.31), older individuals (RR 1.53, 95% CI 1.38–1.69; 85+ compared to 65–74 years), Blacks (RR 1.17, 95% CI 1.03–1.33) and Native Americans (RR 1.72, 95% CI 1.07–2.77) had increased risk of disease. After adjustment, surgeries by surgeons with low annual volume (RR 3.80, 95% CI 3.13–4.61 for 1–50 compared to 1001+annual surgeries) and less experience (RR 1.41, 95% CI 1.25–1.59 1–10 compared to 30+ years) and surgeries per formed in 2003 (RR 1.20, 95% CI 1.13–1.28) had increased endophthalmitis risk. Endophthalmitis rates are lower than previous-year US estimates, but remain higher than rates reported from a series of studies from Sweden; patient factors or methodological differences may contribute to differences across countries. Patient age, gender and race, and surgeon volume and years of experience are important risk factors.
