  1. Compared the qualified success and complete success between the three groups at 18 months postoperatively. †: Phaco-ExPRESS vs. Phaco-Trab, ‡: Phaco-Trab vs. Trab, §: Phaco-ExPRESS vs. Trab. P < 0.05 was considered as statistically significant. No statistical significance was found in qualified success among the three groups. The Phaco-Trab group showed lower complete success rate than the other two groups at 24 months postoperatively (Phaco-Trab vs. Phaco-ExPRESS, P = 0.01; Phaco-Trab vs. Trab, P = 0.04)
