The article does not make a clear comparison between conditions before and after vitrectomy; apparently, some improvements in inflammation could have occurred but pressure could have increased. In addition, referring to visual acuity the article states that «most of visual deterioration was due to vitreous occupation», but it is not possible to determine if this occurred due to the evolution of the disease or as the result of vitrectomy. The author does not explain the reasons why it was not possible to establish the cause of the disease in a patient with bilateral disease (14) and, taking into account that the sample size of the study was small, this patient had an important impact in overall results (5.41%).Finally, the author commits a recurring statistical error. Lee et al.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0010">2</a> estimate that this error is committed by 19% of articles, and it consists in analyzing eyes instead of patients, i.e., 37 eyes of 29 patients. Statistically, this generates an inter-eye correlation and usually statistics are based on the assumption that the values of observations are independent in each measured eye. This leads to biased estimators. For this reason, we decided to input the data of page 532 in a Stata 14.2 5 sheet and reanalyze data.In what concerns the above-mentioned errors, the age we obtained was 62.72 years ± 13.92 standard deviation (range: 39–91 years). The diagnostic results were calculated on the basis of patients instead of eyes (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#tbl0005">Table 1</a>), producing an infectious cause in 9 patients (27.59%), an inflammatory cause in 4 patients (13.79%), a neoplastic cause in 16 patients (55.17%) and unknown in one patient (3.45%). When comparing these calculations with those of the original article, there is an increase in the representation of infectious and inflammatory causes and a reduction in the neoplastic and unknown causes. This was foreseeable due to the inter-eye correlation because the data obtained from both eyes corresponds to 8 patients (27.59%). In addition, the authors state in the original article that the etiological diagnostic was obtained in 96.6% of patients, which is a higher value than that reported. However, it is not clear whether these results are applicable to panuveitis or vitritis. The patient with the unknown diagnostic has a lower impact on results, which goes down from 5.41 to 3.45%. Even so, some explanation about the case is necessary.<elsevierMultimedia ident="tbl0005"></elsevierMultimedia>Carrying out a subgroup analysis (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#tbl0005">Table 1</a>) with patients having unilateral and bilateral disease, 52.38% of unilateral cases had a neoplastic disease whereas in bilateral patients this percentage increases to 62.5%. Likewise, in unilateral cases vitrectomy seems to be a main contributor to the diagnostic but in 75% of bilateral cases a diagnostic was not obtained or it was neoplasia. Perhaps it would have been better to obtain said diagnostic in a different manner. In addition, in the discussion the author indicates that visual prognosis was positive 12 months after vitrectomy but that “most visual impairment was due to the occupation of the vitreous”. This could be due to dissemination of the disease in neoplastic cases, while visual improvements could be due to improved treatments derived from diagnostic precision in the infectious and inflammatory cases.FundingThe authors declare that they have not received funding for this paper."

Archivos de la Sociedad Española de Oftalmología is the official journal of the Ophthalmology Society of Spain, that has over 4,000 members. It gives priority to the publication of basic, translational and clinic research including reviews, original articles, short communications, editorials, letters to the editor and clinic practice guides related to Ophthalmology and its subspecialties. A small section of the journal is reserved for the most relevant papers presented at the annual Congress of the Society. All manuscripts considered for publication are reviewed by expert examiner peers (double blind). The journal is published monthly and even though its official language is Spanish all articles are translated into English to increase the dissemination of scientific information. At present, Archivos is the only Spanish language Ophthalmology journal indexed in PubMed/MEDLINE in addition to other prestigious international databases such as Scopus.
