HYPERGLYCEMIA, ADVERSE EVENT, COMPLICATIONS
Over the course of the study, there was one patient from the steroid group who suffered hyperglycemia (0.94%), which was counted as a mild adverse event according to the study protocol (steroid group). Two patients received antibiotics as rescue medication due to orbital complications during the follow-up time of 2 years (steroid group:1, placebo:1). The symptoms resolved completely.
