To evaluate the macular vessel density (VD) in inactive ocular sarcoidosis (OS) and investigate the relationship between VD and both disease duration and visual acuity (VA).
This cross-sectional study was performed at a tertiary hospital. The macular VDs of patients with OS were obtained using optical coherence tomography angiography and compared with healthy subjects.
Deep whole image macular VD (WI-MVD), parafoveal, and perifoveal VDs were lower in OS group (p = .01, p = .01, p = .02, respectively). Negative correlation between disease duration and both superficial and deep WI-MVD, parafoveal, and perifoveal VDs was obtained (for all p < .05). There was a positive correlation between VA and superficial VD (p < .001, r = 0.848 for WI-MVD).
OS affects deep VD significantly. Changes in superficial VD affect VA more. Disease duration is an important factor affecting macular VD.
评估活动性眼结节病(OS)的黄斑血管密度(VD),并研究 VD 与疾病持续时间和视力(VA)之间的关系。
本横断面研究在一家三级医院进行。使用光相干断层扫描血管造影术获得 OS 患者的黄斑 VD,并与健康受试者进行比较。
OS 组的深层全像黄斑 VD(WI-MVD)、旁中心和中心凹旁 VD 较低(p =.01,p =.01,p =.02,分别)。疾病持续时间与浅层和深层 WI-MVD、旁中心和中心凹旁 VD 呈负相关(均 p <.05)。VA 与浅层 VD 呈正相关(p <.001,WI-MVD 的 r = 0.848)。
OS 显著影响深层 VD。浅层 VD 的变化对 VA 的影响更大。疾病持续时间是影响黄斑 VD 的一个重要因素。
