Arm-to-retina time predicts visual outcome of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor treatment for macular edema due to central retinal vein occlusion.
Scientific Reports 2022 Februrary 10
To explore the factors associated with best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) after anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) treatment for macular edema secondary to central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO). We retrospectively reviewed the medical charts of 22 eyes of 22 treatment-naïve patients with CRVO diagnosed between September 2014 and December 2020. They received anti-VEGF treatment and follow-up for > 12 months. Mean patient age was 64.3 years; 13 (59.1%) were men. Eyes with baseline arm-to-retina (AR) time ≥ 16 s had better BCVA at 12 months (adjusted for baseline BCVA and age; B, - 0.658; 95% confidence interval - 1.058 to - 0.257; P = 0.003), greater mean BCVA change (P = 0.006), lower frequency of residual macular edema at 12 months (P = 0.026) and recurrent and/or unresolved macular edema during 12 months (P = 0.046), and higher frequency of reduction in central retinal thickness ≥ 150 μm at 1 and 12 months (both P = 0.046). Delayed AR time was associated with a better visual outcome and macular edema improvement in CRVO after anti-VEGF treatment regardless of initial BCVA and age. Our results may help understand the pathogenesis and predict the visual prognosis of patients before anti-VEGF therapy initiation.
