To compare the response to ranibizumab between patients with typical neovascular age-related macular degeneration (tAMD) and those with polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV), and to determine the predictors for the outcomes.
Fifty-nine eyes from 59 consecutive patients (tAMD: 27 eyes, PCV: 32 eyes) were treated with three monthly ranibizumab injections followed by as-needed retreatment. Best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and morphological parameters were evaluated over 24 months of follow-up.
The mean BCVA in tAMD and PCV patients was significantly improved at 3 months (-0.22 and -0.09 logMAR units, respectively). The improvement in BCVA was sustained up to 24 months in tAMD (p = 0.01) but not in PCV patients. The significant predictor for good response to ranibizumab in tAMD patients was the improvement of BCVA at 3 months, whereas that in PCV patients was the anatomical resolution at 3 months.
Ranibizumab is an effective therapy for tAMD and PCV over 24 months. The predictors for good outcome might be different between tAMD and PCV.
比较典型新生血管性年龄相关性黄斑变性(tAMD)患者与息肉状脉络膜血管病变(PCV)患者对雷珠单抗的反应,并确定预后的预测因素。
对59例连续患者的59只眼(tAMD:27只眼,PCV:32只眼)进行治疗,每月注射雷珠单抗3次,随后根据需要进行再次治疗。在24个月的随访期间评估最佳矫正视力(BCVA)和形态学参数。
tAMD和PCV患者的平均BCVA在3个月时均有显著改善(分别为-0.22和-0.09 logMAR单位)。tAMD患者的BCVA改善持续至24个月(p = 0.01),而PCV患者则未持续改善。tAMD患者对雷珠单抗反应良好的显著预测因素是3个月时BCVA的改善,而PCV患者则是3个月时的解剖学缓解。
雷珠单抗在24个月内对tAMD和PCV是一种有效的治疗方法。tAMD和PCV的良好预后预测因素可能不同。
