In age-related macular degeneration, various factors in clinical practice cause delays to arise between the time exudative change is observed and the time anti-vascular endothelial growth factor drugs are actually injected. We investigated the influence of injection delay on prognosis.
Subjects were 50 eyes (50 patients from 2 hospitals) that were administered ranibizumab monotherapy for age-related macular degeneration for 1 year since exudative change was first observed. We investigated the mean number of delay days for each injection.
Mean injection delay was between 0 and 104 days. Significant prognostic factors for visual acuity were initial best-corrected visual acuity (P < 0.01) and mean injection delay (P = 0.03). We estimated that for an initial best-corrected visual acuity of 0.40 logMAR unit (20/50 Snellen equivalent), the respective best-corrected visual acuity values after 1 year for mean injection delays of 0, 7, 14, 28, and 56 days would be 0.22 (20/33), 0.24 (20/35), 0.26 (20/37), 0.31 (20/40), and 0.39 (20/49). For an initial best-corrected visual acuity of 0.097 (20/25), the respective values would be 0.054 (20/23), 0.075 (20/24), 0.10 (20/25), 0.14 (20/28), and 0.22 (20/33).
Long-term visual acuity prognosis worsened when scheduling problems delayed intravitreal injection of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor drugs.
在年龄相关性黄斑变性中,临床实践中的各种因素导致在观察到渗出性改变与实际注射抗血管内皮生长因子药物之间出现延迟。我们研究了注射延迟对预后的影响。
研究对象为50只眼(来自2家医院的50例患者),自首次观察到渗出性改变起,接受雷珠单抗单药治疗年龄相关性黄斑变性1年。我们调查了每次注射的平均延迟天数。
平均注射延迟在0至104天之间。视力的显著预后因素为初始最佳矫正视力(P < 0.01)和平均注射延迟(P = 0.03)。我们估计,对于初始最佳矫正视力为0.40 logMAR单位(20/50 Snellen等效值),平均注射延迟分别为0、7、14、28和56天时,1年后各自的最佳矫正视力值将分别为0.22(20/33)、0.24(20/35)、0.26(20/37)、0.31(20/40)和0.39(20/49)。对于初始最佳矫正视力为0.097(20/25),各自的值将分别为0.054(20/23)、0.075(20/24)、0.10(20/25)、0.14(20/28)和0.22(20/33)。
当因日程安排问题延迟玻璃体内注射抗血管内皮生长因子药物时,长期视力预后会恶化。
