To investigate the effect of dexamethasone intravitreal implant on peripheral ischemia in patients affected by diabetic macular edema (DME).
Patients with treatment-naïve diabetic retinopathy (DR) undergoing intravitreal dexamethasone implant for DME between October 2015 and March 2017 were enrolled. Patients underwent a comprehensive ocular examination at baseline (<2 weeks before treatment) and 10 ± 2 weeks after dexamethasone implant including best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), intraocular pressure, optical coherence tomography, ultra-widefield (UWF) retinography and UWF fluorescein angiography (UWFA).
Nine eyes of seven consecutive patients (five males; mean age 66.4 ± 6.7 years) were enrolled. Mean duration of DR was 12.3 ± 8.4 years. Mean interval between UWFA acquisitions was 12.1 ± 2.1 weeks, and the mean interval between intravitreal injection and UWFA acquisition was 11.0 ± 1.6 weeks. Mean pre- and post-injection BCVA was 0.30 ± 0.20 and 0.21 ± 0.14 logMAR (p = 0.06), respectively. Mean pre- and post-injection central macular thickness was 449.8 ± 92.5 and 356.3 ± 52.4 μm (p = 0.03), respectively. Mean pre- and post-injection ischemic index was 24.0 ± 25.0 and 9.8 ± 12.1% (p = 0.0427), respectively.
Intravitreal dexamethasone implant reduces peripheral retina ischemia in patients with DR.
研究玻璃体内注射地塞米松植入物对糖尿病性黄斑水肿(DME)患者周边缺血的影响。
纳入2015年10月至2017年3月间初治的糖尿病性视网膜病变(DR)患者,这些患者因DME接受玻璃体内地塞米松植入治疗。患者在基线期(治疗前<2周)和地塞米松植入后10±2周接受全面的眼部检查,包括最佳矫正视力(BCVA)、眼压、光学相干断层扫描、超广角(UWF)视网膜造影和UWF荧光素血管造影(UWFA)。
连续7例患者(5例男性;平均年龄66.4±6.7岁)的9只眼被纳入研究。DR的平均病程为12.3±8.4年。UWFA采集的平均间隔时间为12.1±2.1周,玻璃体内注射与UWFA采集的平均间隔时间为11.0±1.6周。注射前和注射后的平均BCVA分别为0.30±0.20和0.21±0.14 logMAR(p=0.06)。注射前和注射后的平均中心黄斑厚度分别为449.8±92.5和356.3±52.4μm(p=0.03)。注射前和注射后的平均缺血指数分别为24.0±25.0和9.8±12.1%(p=0.0427)。
玻璃体内注射地塞米松植入物可减轻DR患者的周边视网膜缺血。
