¹Bullous keratopathy: Pseudophakic or aphakic bullous keratopathy; ²Keratitis: Acute necrotizing and ulcerative keratitis. ^aP<0.05.

Kaplan-Meier graft survival plots in recipients aged ⩾80 years at graft, stratified according to the most common indications for transplantation in this subset. For each curve, n = number initially at risk. Scars = corneal scars and opacities; ABK = aphakic bullous keratopathy; PBK = pseudophakic bullous keratopathy.

Corneal transplant survival rates for the different preoperative diagnoses determined with the Kaplan-Meier method. Preoperative diagnoses: 1, keratoconus; 2, corneal dystrophies; 3, corneal scar other than adherent leucoma; 4, pseudophakic bullous keratopathy; 5, adherent leucoma; 6, aphakic bullous keratopathy; 7, corneal clouding from miscellaneous causes including congenital conditions and glaucoma; 8, previous transplant failure.
