Figure 1 The Kaplan–Meier curves for overall corneal allograft survival.

Notes: Eight out of eleven grafts (72.7%) underwent rejection during the mean follow-up period of 687±309 days. The mean survival time of the grafts was 391±124 days.

Figure 2 Comparison of Kaplan–Meier curves for the analysis of factors affecting corneal allograft survival.

Notes: The survival rates of corneal grafts were compared depending on the presence of inflammation or neovascularization of the cornea (A and B), the presence of retinal detachment (C), intravitreal gas or silicone oil injection (D and E), or previous history of corneal grafts (F).
