Purpose To report graft functionality after the first DSAEK procedures performed in Denmark. Methods All primary DSAEK operated eyes in Denmark between 2006 and 2009 were analysed. Patients from three different surgical centers were included, covering all centers performing DSAEK in Denmark during the study period. Events of graft rejection, graft failure and rejection‐related graft failure were recorded, and Kaplan‐Meyer survival curves were used to determine duration of event‐free survival of the grafts. Results Data collection is ongoing until august 2016. Conclusions X.
