Abstract Purpose Postoperative endophthalmitis (POE) is a rare but severe complication of cataract surgery. While diabetes mellitus may increase the risk of POE, the relationship remains unclear. Methods A systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted following PRISMA guidelines. PubMed, Scopus, Medline, Embase, and Google Scholar were searched for relevant studies up to September 10, 2024. The study included both randomized controlled trials and observational studies that evaluated POE outcomes in cataract surgery patients, comparing people with and without diabetes. Random-effects models were used to calculate pooled odds ratios (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI). Results Nine studies were included in the systematic review, with seven analyzed in the meta-analysis. The review on POE in people with diabetes undergoing cataract surgery revealed a higher incidence in this group, with a pooled odds ratio (OR) of 1.174 (95% CI: 1.109 to 1.242; p = 0.000) and an incidence rate of 0.261%, compared to 0.242% in people without diabetes. Males with diabetes had a 1.634 times higher risk of POE (p = 0.048), while diabetes and hypertension together increased risk by 3.961 times (p |
