To evaluate the efficacy of intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) agents for treatment of neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) in vitrectomized eyes.
The medical records were reviewed of nAMD patients treated with anti-VEGF agents who previously underwent pars plana vitrectomy (PPV). PPV was performed with complete posterior vitreous detachment induction.
A total of 44 eyes from 44 patients were included. The mean central foveal thickness (CFT) was 478.50 ± 156.93 μm at baseline, 414.25 ± 143.55 μm (86.6% of baseline) at 1 month after first injection (P < 0.001), and 386.75 ± 141.45 μm (80.8% of baseline) after monthly multiple injections (2.30 ± 1.07; range, 1-5) (P < 0.001). The mean logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution best-corrected visual acuity visual acuity (BCVA) was 0.85 ± 0.57 at baseline, 0.86 ± 0.63 after the first injection, and 0.84 ± 0.64 after monthly multiple injections. BCVA improved in 39.5% at 1 month after first injection and 45.2% at 1 month after monthly multiple injections. In the subgroup analysis, CFT of eyes with the posterior capsule decreased significantly to 85.8% and 79.8% of baseline values at 1 month after the first injection and after monthly multiple injections, respectively. CFT of eyes without the posterior capsule decreased to 91.6% and 87.4% of baseline values at 1 month after the first injection and after monthly multiple injections, respectively, without statistical significance.
Monthly injections of Intravitreal anti-VEGF agents induced favorable anatomical improvement and vision maintenance in vitrectomized eyes with nAMD.
评估玻璃体内抗血管内皮生长因子(anti-VEGF)药物治疗玻璃体切割术后新生血管性年龄相关性黄斑变性(nAMD)的疗效。
回顾性分析了接受抗 VEGF 药物治疗的 nAMD 患者的病历,这些患者之前曾接受过玻璃体切除术(PPV)。PPV 采用完全玻璃体后脱离诱导法进行。
共纳入 44 例 44 只眼。基线时平均中央视网膜厚度(CFT)为 478.50 ± 156.93μm,首次注射后 1 个月为 414.25 ± 143.55μm(基线的 86.6%)(P < 0.001),每月多次注射后为 386.75 ± 141.45μm(基线的 80.8%)(2.30 ± 1.07;范围,1-5)(P < 0.001)。最佳矫正视力(BCVA)的最小分辨角对数(logMAR)基线时为 0.85 ± 0.57,首次注射后为 0.86 ± 0.63,每月多次注射后为 0.84 ± 0.64。首次注射后 1 个月时,39.5%的患者视力改善,每月多次注射后 1 个月时,45.2%的患者视力改善。在亚组分析中,首次注射后 1 个月和每月多次注射后 1 个月,后囊下眼的 CFT 分别显著下降至基线值的 85.8%和 79.8%。无后囊眼的 CFT 分别下降至基线值的 91.6%和 87.4%,但无统计学意义。
每月注射玻璃体内抗 VEGF 药物可改善玻璃体切割术后 nAMD 眼的解剖结构,并维持视力。
