PURPOSE: To assess the long-term outcome of neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD) treated with multiple intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) injections. METHODS: All patients treated with over 30 intravitreal anti-VEGF injections for neovascular AMD between 2007 and 2014 were retrospectively reviewed. RESULTS: A total of 67 eyes received 2,960 (mean 45 ± 9.1 per eye) anti-VEGF injections. Eyes with good final visual acuity (VA) had better initial VA (p = 0.020) and maintained it. Patients with moderate-to-poor final VA improved significantly after the first 3 monthly injections, and thereafter deteriorated consistently, mostly during the third (p = 0.019) and fourth (p = 0.006) years. Eyes with worse final VA had more intraretinal fluid (p = 0.05) and subretinal fibrosis (p = 0.04). CONCLUSION: Two distinct clinical courses were identified: good final VA was associated with initial and long-term stability of good VA; eyes with worse final VA had worse initial VA, progressive deterioration following the initial improvement, and more scarring and intraretinal fluid. This probably underscores the long-term benefits of early detection and treatment.
目的:评估多次玻璃体内注射抗血管内皮生长因子(VEGF)治疗新生血管性年龄相关性黄斑变性(AMD)的长期疗效。 方法:回顾性分析2007年至2014年间接受30次以上玻璃体内抗VEGF注射治疗新生血管性AMD的所有患者。 结果:共有67只眼接受了2960次(平均每只眼45±9.1次)抗VEGF注射。最终视力(VA)良好的眼初始VA较好(p = 0.020)并得以维持。最终视力中等到差的患者在最初3个月每月注射后视力显著改善,此后持续恶化,主要在第三年(p = 0.019)和第四年(p = 0.006)。最终视力较差的眼视网膜内液更多(p = 0.05),视网膜下纤维化更严重(p = 0.04)。 结论:确定了两种不同的临床病程:最终视力良好与初始和长期良好视力稳定性相关;最终视力较差的眼初始VA较差,初始改善后逐渐恶化,且瘢痕形成和视网膜内液更多。这可能强调了早期发现和治疗的长期益处。
