To compare patients with acute endophthalmitis after intravitreal injection of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) inhibitors vs. steroids.
Retrospective single-center, nonrandomized interventional study from 2013 to 2021.Patients underwent vitreous biopsy before initiating treatment and were divided into the following cohorts: (1) anti-VEGF managed medically (T&I-anti-VEGF), (2) anti-VEGF managed by immediate pars plana vitrectomy (PPV-anti-VEGF), and (3) steroid therapy and managed medically or by pars plana vitrectomy (steroid).
A total of 141 patients were analyzed. The steroid cohort demonstrated significantly worse presenting (median = 2.80 logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution [logMAR]; P ≤ 0.01) and final (median = 2.30 logMAR) best-corrected visual acuity compared with T&I-anti-VEGF (presenting: median = 2.00 logMAR; final: median = 0.40 logMAR) and pars plana vitrectomy-anti-VEGF cohorts (presenting: median = 2.30 logMAR; final: median = 0.48 logMAR). There was no significant ( P = 0.33) difference in the final best-corrected visual acuity between T&I-anti-VEGF and pars plana vitrectomy-anti-VEGF cohorts. There were no significant ( P ≥ 0.63) differences among cohorts in best-corrected visual acuity before acute endophthalmitis diagnosis (T&I-anti-VEGF: median = 0.40 logMAR; pars plana vitrectomy-anti-VEGF: median = 0.40 logMAR; steroid: median = 0.44 logMAR). Microbial cultures revealed similar profiles for all cohorts.
Acute endophthalmitis after intravitreal injection steroid therapy had worse outcomes compared with anti-VEGF therapy.
比较玻璃体内注射血管内皮生长因子(VEGF)抑制剂与皮质类固醇治疗后发生急性眼内炎的患者。
这是一项回顾性、单中心、非随机干预研究,时间为 2013 年至 2021 年。患者在开始治疗前进行玻璃体活检,并分为以下队列:(1)抗 VEGF 药物治疗(T&I-抗 VEGF),(2)立即行玻璃体切除术的抗 VEGF 治疗(PPV-抗 VEGF),和(3)皮质类固醇治疗和药物或玻璃体切除术治疗(皮质类固醇)。
共分析了 141 例患者。与 T&I-抗 VEGF(表现:中位数=2.00 logMAR;最终:中位数=0.40 logMAR)和玻璃体切除术-抗 VEGF 队列(表现:中位数=2.30 logMAR;最终:中位数=0.48 logMAR)相比,皮质类固醇组的表现(中位数=2.80 最小分辨角对数[logMAR];P≤0.01)和最终最佳矫正视力(中位数=2.30 logMAR)明显更差。T&I-抗 VEGF 和玻璃体切除术-抗 VEGF 两组最终最佳矫正视力无显著差异(P=0.33)。在急性眼内炎诊断前,各组最佳矫正视力无显著差异(T&I-抗 VEGF:中位数=0.40 logMAR;玻璃体切除术-抗 VEGF:中位数=0.40 logMAR;皮质类固醇:中位数=0.44 logMAR)(P≥0.63)。微生物培养显示所有队列的结果相似。
与抗 VEGF 治疗相比,玻璃体内注射皮质类固醇治疗后发生的急性眼内炎结局更差。
