: To investigate the influence of the epiretinal membrane (ERM) on intravitreal ranibizumab (IVR) therapy for diabetic macular edema (DME).
: This retrospective study included 56 eyes of 48 patients with DME divided into two groups: the DME with ERM (study) and only DME (control) groups. Changes in the central macular thickness (CMT) and best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) were evaluated.
: In the study group, although the CMT was significantly reduced following the first injection (p<0.001), BCVA did not improve significantly (p=0.296). However, after the first injection, the control group exhibited both a significant decrease in CMT (p<0.001) and improvement in BCVA (p<0.001). However, the improvement in BCVA in the control group was not significantly different from the outcome of the study group.
: We observed a negative short-term influence of the ERM on IVR treatment for DME.
探讨视网膜前膜(ERM)对玻璃体内注射雷珠单抗(IVR)治疗糖尿病性黄斑水肿(DME)的影响。
本回顾性研究纳入48例DME患者的56只眼,分为两组:伴有ERM的DME(研究组)和单纯DME(对照组)。评估中心黄斑厚度(CMT)和最佳矫正视力(BCVA)的变化。
研究组中,首次注射后CMT虽显著降低(p<0.001),但BCVA无显著改善(p=0.296)。然而,首次注射后,对照组CMT显著降低(p<0.001)且BCVA改善(p<0.001)。然而,对照组BCVA的改善与研究组结果无显著差异。
我们观察到ERM对IVR治疗DME有短期负面影响。
