To document the prognosis of laser treatment in patients with exudative age-related macular degeneration (AMD).
Efficacy of the intervention was evaluated using a before-after method.
A total of 392 eyes of 341 patients with exudative AMD were examined. 77.6% had choroideal neovascularisation (CNV). Before the use of indocyanine green (ICG) angiography, occult CNV was detected in only 1.8% of the eyes, but after the use of ICG angiography, this increased to 19.5% (P<0.001). Of the 349 eyes which were followed up, visual acuity had remained stable in 68.2%. There was a statistically significant relationship between the localization of lesion and visual acuity changes on pre- and post-laser treatment (P<0.001). Also there was a statistically significant relationship between the localization of lesion and recurrence (P<0.05). The recurrence was less in subfoveal lesions than that in juxtafoveal and extrafoveal lesions.
ICG angiography is highly important in the treatment of occult CNV.
记录激光治疗渗出性年龄相关性黄斑变性(AMD)患者的预后情况。
采用前后对比法评估干预措施的疗效。
共检查了341例渗出性AMD患者的392只眼。77.6%有脉络膜新生血管(CNV)。在使用吲哚菁绿(ICG)血管造影之前,仅1.8%的眼睛检测到隐匿性CNV,但使用ICG血管造影后,这一比例增至19.5%(P<0.001)。在接受随访的349只眼中,68.2%的视力保持稳定。激光治疗前后病变部位与视力变化之间存在统计学显著关系(P<0.001)。病变部位与复发之间也存在统计学显著关系(P<0.05)。黄斑中心凹下病变的复发率低于黄斑中心凹旁和黄斑中心凹外病变。
ICG血管造影在隐匿性CNV的治疗中非常重要。
