11 emethods. Comparison of Distribution of Fluoroquinolone Before and After the Retinal Detachment We performed an additional analysis to compare distribution of fluoroquinolone before the retinal (between D-180 and D-60 before the RD) and after the RD (between D+60 and D+180 after the RD). We intentionally choose 2 symmetric periods to the retinal with a delay of 60 days framing the RD to be outside of the potential prophylactic use of fluoroquinolone (see figure below). The number of dispensings of fluoroquinolones during each period and by delay of 10 days are reported in the table 1 below. The distribution of fluoroquinolone exposure between both periods is no statistically significantly different (p=0.09).
