Combined steroid and antibiotic therapy vs antibiotics alone

Complete resolution of endophthalmitis at 3 months' · eyes with acute endophthalmitis following an intraocular procedure (e.g. surgery, intravitreous injection)

It is very uncertain whether combined steroid and antibiotic therapy changes complete resolution of endophthalmitis at 3 months' compared with antibiotics alone (very low certainty).
