To assess the rate of macular blood flow decreasing in adults with and without posterior staphyloma (PS) using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) and to identify risk factors associated with PS progression.
This longitudinal case-control study enrolled 122 eyes of 122 patients-64 patients with PS (PS group) and 58 patients without PS (NPS group). Participants underwent OCTA and clinical examinations at least twice, and those followed for at least one year were included in the analysis. Logistic regression analysis and machine learning were applied to explore the risk factors for PS and its progression.
Patients in the PS group exhibited faster growth rates of spherical equivalent refraction (SER), axial length (AL), curvature index (CI), and posterior scleral height (PSH) as well as higher loss rates of choriocapillaris perfusion area (CCPA), choroid perfusion area (CPA) and choroidal vascularity index (CVI) compared to the NPS group (all P < 0.05). The baseline SER (B = - 1.291, OR = 0.275, P = 0.008), baseline subfoveal scleral thickness (B = - 1.621, OR = 0.198, P = 0.046), baseline PSH (B = 2.959, OR = 19.282, P = 0.001) and foveal CVI changes per year (B = - 2.776, OR = 0.062, P < 0.001) were the risk factors for PS. Baseline AL (B = 0.561, OR = 1.752, P = 0.033), parafoveal choroidal thickness changes per year (B = - 0.094, OR = 0.910, P = 0.032), foveal retinal vascular density changes per year (B = 0.104, OR = 1.110, P = 0.013) and foveal CCPA changes per year (B = - 0.214, OR = 0.807, P = 0.038) were the risk factors for the PS progression.
During the progression of myopia in adults, changes in the morphology of the eye's posterior pole are not limited to axial lengthening alone; there also will be a phase of compensatory lateral expansion. Baseline AL and changes in the microcirculation can be utilized to predict the progression of PS.
使用光学相干断层扫描血管造影(OCTA)评估有和没有后巩膜葡萄肿(PS)的成年人黄斑血流减少率,并确定与PS进展相关的危险因素。
这项纵向病例对照研究纳入了122例患者的122只眼,其中64例患有PS(PS组),58例没有PS(NPS组)。参与者至少接受两次OCTA和临床检查,将随访至少一年的患者纳入分析。应用逻辑回归分析和机器学习来探索PS及其进展的危险因素。
与NPS组相比,PS组患者的球镜等效屈光度(SER)、眼轴长度(AL)、曲率指数(CI)和后巩膜高度(PSH)的增长率更快,脉络膜毛细血管灌注面积(CCPA)、脉络膜灌注面积(CPA)和脉络膜血管指数(CVI)的损失率更高(所有P<0.05)。基线SER(B=-1.291,OR=0.275,P=0.008)、基线黄斑下巩膜厚度(B=-1.621,OR=0.198,P=0.046)、基线PSH(B=2.959,OR=19.282,P=0.001)和每年黄斑CVI变化(B=-2.776,OR=0.062,P<0.001)是PS的危险因素。基线AL(B=0.561,OR=1.752,P=0.033)、每年黄斑旁脉络膜厚度变化(B=-0.094,OR=0.910,P=0.032)、每年黄斑视网膜血管密度变化(B=0.104,OR=1.110,P=0.013)和每年黄斑CCPA变化(B=-0.214,OR=0.807,P=0.038)是PS进展的危险因素。
在成年人近视进展过程中,眼球后极形态的变化不仅限于单纯的眼轴延长;还会有一个代偿性横向扩张阶段。基线AL和微循环变化可用于预测PS的进展。
