OBJECTIVES/GOALS: Infectious keratitis is a potentially sight-threatening disease. Its epidemiology has been considered on various national and regional levels, which demonstrates unique patterns in patient risk factors, causative organisms, antimicrobial resistance and clinical outcomes. This study will examine the patterns specific to the Rochester, NY area. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: This project will be a ten-year retrospective study, examining all patients who were diagnosed with infectious keratitis at the University of Rochester Medical Center between 2011 and 2021. The study population is selected from a compiled list of those patients with an ICD diagnosis code including ’keratitis’ in the eRecord that falls within our chosen date range. Participants were excluded if the patient’s physician documented that the keratitis is most likely not infectious in etiology. If eligible for the study, there is documentation of patient demographics, clinical risk factors, clinical course, culture data from corneal scraping and antimicrobial resistance patterns, if available. Once data is collected, it will be analyzed and compared to pre-existing regional and national data. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: Between 2011 and 2021, there were 1652 patients with ICD diagnoses of keratitis at the University of Rochester Medical Center. Of these patients, we anticipate approximately 1,200 to meet our inclusion criteria. Some of the major risk factors for developing infectious keratitis in this population include contact lens use, immunocompromised state (elderly, diseased or iatrogenic) and corneal trauma. Clinical complications include progression to endophthalmitis, need for interventional surgery, or failure to improve on clinical exam after 2 weeks of antimicrobials. Causative organisms are most often bacterial. Certain organisms are associated with specific risk factors while other organisms predict greater risk of complications. We also anticipate patterns of antimicrobial resistance to emerge. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: This study will provide insights into the risk factors and clinical course of infectious keratitis according to causative organisms in the Rochester, NY area. This can help us mitigate risk factors and help prognosticate for patients, once diagnosed. Also, patterns of antimicrobial resistance can inform empiric antimicrobial recommendations.
