Assess 5-year all-cause mortality (ACM), hemorrhagic stroke, ischemic stroke, and myocardial infarction (MI) risks in nAMD patients receiving anti-VEGF injections compared with controls.
Population-based retrospective cohort study using a U.S. federated health research network, containing de-identified data of 96 million patients from 1/1/2003 to 3/6/2023.
nAMD Patients with anti-VEGF injections. Controls included nAMD patients without anti-VEGF injections, non-exudative AMD patients, and patients without AMD.
Patients were identified using nAMD ICD-10 and anti-VEGF CPT codes and matched for age, sex, and comorbidities. Five-year relative risk of ACM (RR), hemorrhagic stroke (RR), ischemic stroke (RR), and MI (RR) in nAMD patients receiving anti-VEGF injections were calculated.
A total of 27,609 nAMD patients (mean diagnosis age [SD], [78.2 (10.3)]) received anti-VEGF injections; 769 nAMD patients without injections (75.8 [12.2]), 27,599 non-exudative AMD patients (78.2 [10.3]), and 21,902 no-AMD patients (76.1 [10.5]) were identified. After matching, nAMD patients receiving injections did not show increased risk versus nAMD patients without injections (RR, 0.66; 95% CI [0.53, 0.82]), (RR, 1.00 [0.42, 2.38]), (RR, 1.70 [0.92,3.13]), (RR, 0.63 [0.33, 1.18]). No increased risk was found compared to non-exudative AMD patients (RR, 0.99 [0.95, 1.03]), (RR, 0.94 [0.83,1.07]), (RR, 1.04 [0.96, 1.12]), (RR, 0.99 [0.91, 1.08]). Increased risk for ACM was observed versus no-AMD patients (RR, 1.21 [1.15, 1.27]), but no other differences were found (RR, 0.81 [0.70, 0.93]), (RR, 1.00 [0.92, 1.09]), (RR, 0.986 [0.90, 1.09]).
Anti-VEGF injections were not associated with major cardiovascular events in nAMD patients over 5 years.
评估接受抗血管内皮生长因子(VEGF)注射的湿性年龄相关性黄斑变性(nAMD)患者与对照组相比的5年全因死亡率(ACM)、出血性中风、缺血性中风和心肌梗死(MI)风险。
基于人群的回顾性队列研究,使用美国联邦健康研究网络,包含2003年1月1日至2023年3月6日9600万患者的去识别化数据。
接受抗VEGF注射的nAMD患者。对照组包括未接受抗VEGF注射的nAMD患者、非渗出性AMD患者和无AMD患者。
使用nAMD的国际疾病分类第十版(ICD - 10)和抗VEGF的现行程序术语(CPT)代码识别患者,并按年龄、性别和合并症进行匹配。计算接受抗VEGF注射的nAMD患者的5年ACM相对风险(RR)、出血性中风(RR)、缺血性中风(RR)和MI(RR)。
共有27609例nAMD患者(平均诊断年龄[标准差],[78.2(10.3)])接受了抗VEGF注射;识别出769例未注射的nAMD患者(75.8[12.2])、27599例非渗出性AMD患者(78.2[10.3])和21902例无AMD患者(76.1[10.5])。匹配后,接受注射的nAMD患者与未注射的nAMD患者相比,风险未增加(RR,0.66;95%置信区间[0.53,0.82]),(RR,1.00[0.42,2.38]),(RR,1.70[0.92,3.13]),(RR,0.63[0.33,1.18]))。与非渗出性AMD患者相比,未发现风险增加(RR,0.99[0.95,1.03]),(RR,0.94[0.83,1.07]),(RR,1.04[0.96,1.12]),(RR,0.99[0.91,1.08]))。与无AMD患者相比,观察到ACM风险增加(RR,1.21[1.15,1.27]),但未发现其他差异(RR,0.81[0.70,0.93]),(RR,1.00[0.92,1.09]),(RR,0.986[0.90,1.09]))。
抗VEGF注射与nAMD患者5年内的主要心血管事件无关。
