To evaluate the efficacy of an intravitreal dexamethasone implant (Ozurdex®) in patients with cystoid macular oedema (CME) suffering from non-infectious uveitis.
Monocentric, retrospective, single-arm analysis in 49 patients (59 implanted eyes) with inactive uveitis, in whom CME had been unresponsive to corticosteroids and/or immunosuppressants and systemic acetazolamide, and who received a dexamethasone implant. Patients were followed up at 6, 12 and 24 weeks after unilateral (n = 39)/bilateral (n = 10) implantation. The primary outcome measure was central foveal thickness (CFT), as measured by Spectralis optical coherence tomography (OCT); secondary outcome measures were improvement in best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), laser flare photometry and safety measures, including intraocular pressure (IOP) and cataract progression.
At 6, 12 and 24 weeks, mean CFT was reduced (≥ 20 %) in 68, 44 and 45 % and BCVA improved (≥ 2 lines) in 47, 40 and 26 %, respectively, as compared to baseline. At 6, 12 and 24 weeks, significant flare reduction was observed in 70, 41, and 42 %, respectively. Cumulative cataract progression was observed in 12, 18 and 31 % at 6, 12 and 24 weeks, respectively. IOP ≥ 22 mmHg was noted in 5 % at baseline and in 21, 3, and 0 % at 6, 12 and 24 weeks, respectively.
In uveitis patients with CME refractory to systemic anti-inflammatory drugs, the dexamethasone implant improves CME transiently. However, IOP increase and cataract progression are common side effects.
评估玻璃体内注射地塞米松植入剂(Ozurdex®)对患有非感染性葡萄膜炎的黄斑囊样水肿(CME)患者的疗效。
对49例(59只植入眼)非活动性葡萄膜炎患者进行单中心、回顾性、单臂分析,这些患者的CME对皮质类固醇和/或免疫抑制剂以及全身应用乙酰唑胺均无反应,并接受了地塞米松植入剂治疗。在单侧(n = 39)/双侧(n = 10)植入后6、12和24周对患者进行随访。主要观察指标是通过Spectralis光学相干断层扫描(OCT)测量的中心凹厚度(CFT);次要观察指标是最佳矫正视力(BCVA)的改善情况、激光闪光光度测定以及安全性指标,包括眼压(IOP)和白内障进展情况。
与基线相比,在6、12和24周时,平均CFT分别在68%、44%和45%的患者中降低(≥20%),BCVA分别在47%、40%和26%的患者中提高(≥2行)。在6、12和24周时,分别有70%、41%和42%的患者观察到明显的闪光减少。在6、12和24周时,分别有12%、18%和31%的患者观察到累积性白内障进展。基线时眼压≥22 mmHg的患者占5%,在6、12和24周时分别为21%、3%和0%。
在对全身抗炎药物难治的葡萄膜炎合并CME患者中,地塞米松植入剂可使CME得到短暂改善。然而,眼压升高和白内障进展是常见副作用。
