THE IMPACT OF THE VITREOMACULAR INTERFACE ON FUNCTIONAL AND ANATOMICAL OUTCOMES IN DIABETIC MACULAR EDEMA TREATED WITH THREE DIFFERENT ANTI-VEGF AGENTS: Post Hoc Analysis of The Protocol T Study.
Retina (Philadelphia, Pa.)(2022)
摘要
PURPOSE:To investigate the impact of baseline vitreomacular interface status on treatment outcomes in patients treated with three different anti-vascular endothelial growth factors for diabetic macular edema.
METHODS:Post hoc analysis from patients enrolled in the DRCR.net Protocol T study. Optical coherence tomography images were analyzed at baseline and at the end of follow-up to identify the presence of complete vitreomacular adhesion, partial vitreomacular adhesion, vitreomacular traction syndrome, and complete posterior vitreous detachment.
RESULTS:Six hundred and twenty-nine eyes were eligible for the study based on the study criteria. Complete adhesion eyes gained on average +3.7 more ETDRS letters compared with the complete posterior vitreous detachment group at the end of the 12 months follow-up ( P < 0.001). Baseline vitreomacular interface status had no significant influence on central subfield thickness at 12 months ( P = 0.144). There was no difference between the treatment arms based on effect of baseline vitreomacular interface status on best-corrected visual acuity gain.
CONCLUSION:This study provides evidence that vitreomacular interface status affects functional outcomes in diabetic macular edema patients treated with anti-vascular endothelial growth factor injections. The presence of complete or partial vitreomacular adhesion at baseline may be associated with a larger treatment benefit than those with complete posterior vitreous detachment.
