AIM: To compare the efficacy of intravitreal ranibizumab (IVR) alone or in combination with photodynamic therapy (PDT) vs PDT in patients with symptomatic polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV).METHODS: A systematic search of a wide range of databases (including PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library and Web of Science) was searched to identify relevant studies. Both randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and non-RCT studies were included. Methodological quality of included literatures was evaluated according to the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. RevMan 5.2.7 software was used to do the Meta-analysis.RESULTS: Three RCTs and 6 retrospective studies were included. The results showed that PDT monotherapy had a significantly higher proportion in patients who achieved complete regression of polyps than IVR monotherapy at months 3, 6, and 12 (All P≤0.01), respectively. However, IVR had a tendency to be more effective in improving vision on the basis of RCTs. The proportion of patients who gained complete regression of polyps revealed that there was no significant difference between the combination treatment and PDT monotherapy. The mean change of best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) from baseline showed that the combination treatment had significant superiority in improving vision vs PDT monotherapy at months 3, 6 and 24 (All P<0.05), respectively. In the mean time, this comparison result was also significant at month 12 (P<0.01) after removal of a heterogeneous study.CONCLUSION: IVR has non-inferiority compare with PDT either in stabilizing or in improving vision, although it can hardly promote the regression of polyps. The combination treatment of PDT and IVR can exert a synergistic effect on regressing polyps and on maintaining or improving visual acuity. Thus, it can be the first-line therapy for PCV. 相似文献

Background
To clarify the efficacy of combined therapy with intravitreal ranibizumab injections and photodynamic therapy (PDT) in patients with symptomatic polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV).Methods
We retrospectively reviewed 57 treatment-naïve eyes of 57 patients. Thirty-two patients were treated with standard fluence PDT (PDT group), and 25 patients were treated with three consecutive monthly intravitreal injections of ranibizumab and standard fluence PDT (ranibizumab plus PDT group). All patients were followed for at least 24 months.Results
In the ranibizumab plus PDT group, the mean best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) levels of decimal (logMAR equivalent) significantly improved from 0.30 (0.52) at baseline to 0.55 (0.26) at 24 months (P?<?0.001). In the PDT group, the BCVA levels stabilized from 0.26 (0.58) at baseline to 0.25 (0.60) at 24 months. The mean changes in the BCVA in the ranibizumab plus PDT group and the PDT group were improvement of 2.63 lines and decline of 0.16 lines respectively (P?=?0.010). The mean number of PDTs at 24 months in the ranibizumab plus PDT group and the PDT group were 1.4 and 2.6 respectively. Increased subretinal hemorrhages were seen in eight (18.0 %) eyes, all of which were belonging to the PDT group.Conclusions
Combined intravitreal ranibizumab and PDT was significantly more effective in maintaining and improving VA for PCV patients compared with PDT monotherapy over 24 months. 相似文献3.
Purpose
To compare the effectiveness of intravitreal injection of bevacizumab and ranibizumab in patients with treatment-naïve polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV).Methods
A total of 66 and 60 eyes of 121 consecutive patients who received intravitreal bevacizumab (1.25 mg) or ranibizumab (0.5 mg) injection for treatment of PCV were retrospectively reviewed. After initial three loading injections by month, injection was performed as needed. Main outcome measures included best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), foveal center thickness (FCT) as assessed by spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT), and change in polypoidal lesion on indocyanine green angiography (ICGA).Results
At 12 months, average number of injections was 4.72±1.84 in the bevacizumab group and 5.52±1.54 in the ranibizumab group. Mean logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution of BCVA from baseline at 12 months after injection improved by 0.11 in the bevacizumab group (P=0.02) and by 0.14 in the ranibizumab group (P=0.01). Average FCT decreased from 368±62.48 to 298±40.77 μm in the bevacizumab group (P=0.01) and from 371±50.79 to 286±36.93 μm in the ranibizumab group (P=0.01). Polyp regression rate was 24.2% (16 eyes out of 66 eyes) in the bevacizumab group and 23.3% (14 eyes out of 60 eyes) in the ranibizumab group. There was no statistically significant difference in BCVA improvement achieved, FCT improvement achieved, and polyp regression rate between groups.Conclusion
Intravitreal injections of bevacizumab and ranibizumab have similar effects in stabilization of visual acuity, macular edema, and regression of polypoidal complex with PCV eyes. 相似文献4.
Aim
To clarify the 2-year efficacy of ranibizumab for patients with polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV) with recurrent or residual exudation from branching vascular networks after previous photodynamic therapy (PDT).Methods
We retrospectively reviewed 26 eyes of 26 Japanese patients (22 men, 4 women) in this pilot study. All eyes had PCV with complete regression of polypoidal lesions resulting from PDT detected by indocyanine green angiography (ICGA), but recurrent or residual leakage from branching vascular networks on fluorescein angiography and evidence of persistent fluid on optical coherence tomography (OCT). Three consecutive intravitreal injections of ranibizumab (0.5 mg/0.05 ml) were administered to all eyes.Results
The mean logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) improved significantly from 0.55 at baseline to 0.35 at 12 months (P<0.0001) and 0.43 at 24 months (P=0.0012). The mean increases in the BCVA 12 and 24 months after baseline were 1.95 and 1.23 lines, respectively. The mean central retinal thickness significantly decreased from 295 μm at baseline to 189 μm at 12 months (P<0.0038) and 163 μm at 24 months (P<0.001). The mean numbers of intravitreal ranibizumab (IVR) injections at months 12 and 24, including the initial treatments, were 5.8 and 8.8, respectively. Five (19.2%) eyes had recurrent polypoidal lesions on ICGA at a mean of 15.7 months after baseline. At month 24, OCT showed no exudation in 17 (65.4%) of the 26 eyes. No adverse events developed.Conclusions
IVR injections maintained or improved the VA and retinal thickness at 24 months in eyes with PCV with recurrent or residual exudation from branching vascular networks after previous PDT. 相似文献5.

AIM: To systematically compare the efficacy and safety of off-label bevacizumab versus licensed ranibizumab intravitreal injections as well as monthly regimen versus pro re nata [PRN (as needed)] regimen in the treatment of neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD).
METHODS: Relevant publications were identified through automatically retrieve of database and manually retrieving. The methodological quality of studies included was assessed using the Jadad score and the risk-of-bias assessment. The efficacy estimates were measured by the weight mean difference (WMD) for the improvement of best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and central retinal thickness (CRT) reduction. The safety estimates were measured by odds ratios (OR) for adverse events rates. Statistical analysis was conducted by Revman 5.2.7.
RESULTS: Seven studies were included in the Meta-analysis. There were no statistically significant differences between bevacizumab and ranibizumab in BCVA at 1 and 2y (P=0.37, P=0.18, respectively), However, both drugs has better BCVA given monthly than given as needed at 1 and 2y (P<0.05). The results demonstrated the mean decrease in CRT was less in bevacizumab group than ranibizumab group at 1y (P<0.05), while the difference was not significant at 2y (P=0.24). Treatment monthly gained much more decrease in CRT at 1 and 2y (P<0.005). There were no differences between drugs in the rates of death, arterial thrombotic events and venous thrombotic events (P=0.41, P=0.55, P=0.10, respectively), while the rates of medical dictionary for regulatory activities (MedDAR) system organ class events and ≥1 systemic serious adverse events were higher in bevacizumab group than ranibizumab group (P<0.05). But the incidences of death, arterial thrombotic events, venous thrombotic events, MedDAR system organ class events as well as ≥1 systemic serious adverse events were not statistically different between both treatment regimens of monthly and as needed (P=0.14, P=0.76, P=0.73, P=0.12, P=0.11, respectively).
CONCLUSION: Bevacizumab was equivalent to ranibizumab for BCVA, however bevacizumab tended to gain less decrease in CRT and had higher rates of serious adverse events. Compared with treatment as needed, treatment monthly showed superior efficacy in BCVA improvement and CRT reduction, while the rates of adverse events were similar in the two dosing regimens. 相似文献

AIM:To assess the effects of the fixed combination of 0.005% latanoprost and 0.5% timolol (FCLT) vs their individual components for primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) and ocular hypertension (OHT).METHODS:After searched PubMed, EMBASE, the Cochrane Library and SCI, all randomized controlled clinical trials (RCTs) and cross-over studies were included. The control groups were the mono therapy or the concomitant therapy of latanoprost and timolol. The outcomes were visual field defect, optic atrophy, mean intraocular pressure (IOP) and IOP fluctuation. The analysis was carried out in RevMan version 5.1 software.RESULTS:The post-intervention mean IOP of FCLT was significantly lower compared to timolol [mean difference (MD) -2.92, 95%CI -3.28 to -2.55, P<0.00001] and latanoprost (MD -1.11, 95%CI -1.51 to -0.72, P<0.00001). The post-intervention IOP fluctuation was also significantly lower compared to timolol (MD -0.88, 95%CI -1.23 to -0.53, P<0.00001) and latanoprost (MD -0.63, 95%CI -1.04 to -0.22, P=0.002). The mean IOP was higher in FCLT morning dose group than the one in unfixed combination of 0.005% latanoprost and 0.5% timolol (UFCLT) (MD 1.10, 95%CI 0.81 to 1.39, P<0.00001). Otherwise, there was no difference between FCLT evening dose group and UFCLT (MD 0.34, 95% CI -0.01 to 0.69, P=0.06). There was no statistical difference for the incidence of visual field defect and optic atrophy between FCLT and the monotherapy of components.CONCLUSION:A better IOP lowering effect has been demonstrated for FCLT compared to the mono therapy of components. The IOP lowering effect was worse for FCLT morning dose and almost same for FCLT evening dose compared to the UFCLT. We need more long-term high quality RCTs to demonstrate the outcomes of visual field defect and optic atrophy. 相似文献

AIM: To investigate the difference of retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness between Alzheimer’s disease patients and normal people, so as to provide clue for the early diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease.
METHODS: The articles on the association of RNFL thickness and Alzheimer’s disease were retrieved by searching international and national databases. The qualified articles were assessed by meta analysis with Stata11.0 software. The results were pooled using weighted mean difference (WMD) with a corresponding 95% confidence interval (CI).
RESULTS: Totally 7 studies enrolled 324 eyes were included in the meta-analysis. The results of meta analysis showed that in AD patients, there was a significant average RNFL thickness reduction compared with the control group [WMD=-17.561, 95%CI: (-23.971, -11.151)]. There were significant differences in superior, inferior, nasal and temporal RNFL thickness between the two groups. WMD with a 95%CI were [-18.829, 95%CI:(-25.915, -11.743); P<0.05], [-25.775, 95%CI:(-34.304, -17.247); P<0.05], [-16.877, 95%CI: (-29.141, -4.613); P<0.001] and [-14.565, 95%CI:(-28.002, -1.128); P<0.001] respectively. Begg’s test and Egger’s test did not show significant difference, funnel plot was basically symmetrical, indicating that there was no publication bias existed.
CONCLUSION: There are significant differences in the RNFL thickness in all quadrants between the two groups. RNFL thickness is reduced in AD patients compared with the control group. 相似文献

Background
The intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor treatments ranibizumab and aflibercept have proven efficacy in clinical trials, but their real world usage in central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO) has not been assessed. We therefore evaluated the treatment patterns of both drugs in a US claims database.Methods
The IMS Integrated Data Warehouse was used to identify the patients with CRVO in the USA with claims for ranibizumab or aflibercept between 24 September 2012 and 31 March 2014 with at least 12 months follow-up. Patients were required to have had no anti-VEGF treatment code for 6 months before index (‘treatment-naive''). Mean numbers of injections and non-injection visits to a treating physician were compared with patients receiving these treatments.Results
Patient characteristics were similar for patients receiving ranibizumab (n=206) or aflibercept (n=79) at index. The mean (±SD) numbers of injections received by patients treated with ranibizumab or aflibercept were 4.4±2.8 and 4.7±2.9 (P=0.38), respectively; the total number of patient visits to their treating physician was 7.3±3.7 and 7.0±2.9 (P=0.52), respectively. For patients receiving one or more injections (n=238), the mean interval between injections was 55.1 days (ranibizumab) and 54.2 days (aflibercept; P=0.44).Conclusions
Our results suggest that, in routine clinical practice, patients receive a comparable number of injections in the first year of treatment with ranibizumab or aflibercept. This may have implications for commissioning and service development of CRVO care pathways. 相似文献10.
Purpose
To evaluate the long-term efficacy of intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) therapy as primary treatment for subfoveal myopic choroidal neovascularization (CNV).Methods
In all, 37 treatment-naïve eyes of 37 patients with subfoveal myopic CNV who received intravitreal bevacizumab (n=22) or ranibizumab (n=15) injections with at least 2 years of follow-up were reviewed. All eyes received initial three loading doses of anti-VEGF at monthly intervals and retreatment was performed in persistent or recurrent CNV. Multivariate regression analyses were performed to determine the prognostic factors for visual outcome.Results
The mean age was 57.3 years and the mean refractive error was −11.7 D. For all eyes, the mean logMAR best-corrected visual acuity improved from 0.86 (20/145) at baseline to 0.48 (20/60) at 2 years (P<0.001). The mean visual improvement for the bevacizumab and ranibizumab groups at 2 years was 2.8 and 5.1 lines, respectively (P=0.073). There was no significant difference in the proportion of eyes having visual gain of three or more lines or visual loss of three or more lines between the two groups. The mean number of injections was 3.8 for both bevacizumab and ranibizumab groups. Multivariate analyses showed that eyes with higher myopic refractive error were less likely to have visual gain after treatment (P=0.043), while size of CNV was negatively correlated with mean change in vision (P=0.046).Conclusions
Intravitreal anti-VEGF therapy resulted in long-term visual improvement in myopic CNV. The treatment efficacy in terms of visual gain and number of retreatment appeared to be similar between bevacizumab and ranibizumab. 相似文献11.
Purpose
To assess the value of microperimetry in eyes with neovascular age-related macular degeneration previously treated with ranibizumab and now in the maintenance phase of therapy.Methods
A total of 21 eyes (14 patients) were included. Microperimetry was performed using the Macular Integrity Assessment Device on at least three occasions for each eye. Intravitreal ranibizumab was administered if visual acuity (VA) or optical coherence tomography (OCT) showed signs of active disease.Results
Five eyes showed no change in VA or OCT findings, and required no intravitreal injections. In these eyes, mean threshold sensitivity (TS) decreased by 13% (paired t-test, P=0.05) during the study period, but fixation stability (FS) was unchanged. In all, 16 eyes showed signs of disease activity, and therefore required ranibizumab injections during the study. In these eyes, VA, central retinal thickness (CRT), FS, and TS remained unchanged during follow-up. Peak TS was noted when CRT was 210 μm; above or below 210 μm, there was a gradual reduction in TS.Conclusion
This study has provided novel information on the relationship between macular sensitivity, CRT, and VA in the maintenance phase of ranibizumab therapy. Patients with stable VA and CRT may still have deteriorating retinal sensitivity. This is usually a late manifestation and may indicate subclinical CNV activity. 相似文献12.
Purpose
To compare fixation location and stability in patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD) treated with or without ranibizumab.Methods
Patients were recruited from the Macular Clinic of the King''s College Hospital in London. Two groups of patients with neovascular AMD with at least 12 months of follow-up were included in the study. The treated group was treated with ranibizumab while the untreated group did not have any treatment. Best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) with modified ETDRS chart, fixation location and stability as measured with Nidek MP1, central retinal thickness as measured by Zeiss Cirrus SD-optical coherent tomography (OCT), and lesion size as measured by Topcon TRC-50IX camera were analysed and correlated.Results
In total, 102 eyes were included in the study with 76 in the ranibizumab-treated group and 26 in the untreated group. There were no significantly demographic differences between the two groups. However, as expected, the treated group has significantly better vision (48.5 vs15.5 letters, P<0.0001) and smaller lesions (10.8 vs18.3 mm2, P=0.004), the central macular thickness as measured by OCT also showed a trend of normalised macular thickness (252 vs282 microns, P=0.07). The location of fixation was significantly more central in the ranibizumab-treated group (χ2 17.9, P<0.0001) with over 50% of eyes with predominantly central fixation. Majority (84.6%) of the patients in the untreated group had predominantly eccentric fixation. Fixation stability was significantly better in the ranibizumab-treated group as compared with the untreated group, using both the software provided by the MP1 machine (χ2 21.8, P<0.0001) and the mean log bivariate contour ellipse area calculated from the raw data obtained from the machine (3.64 vs4.39 in treated and untreated group respectively, P<0.0001).Conclusion
Low vision rehabilitation strategy for this group of patients in the ranibizumab era will be very different from those used in untreated patients with dense central scotoma. Further studies on the visual rehabilitation in the ranibizumab-treated patients should consider fixation characteristics of the patients. 相似文献13.

Purpose
To assess retinal vascular calibre changes in eyes with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD), treated with intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor agents, over a 1-year period and compare any such changes to untreated fellow eyes.Methods
Treatment naïve patients with neovascular AMD received three consecutive intravitreal injections of ranibizumab, followed by a pro re nata dosing regimen up to 1 year, with the aim of maintaining a ‘fluid-free'' macula. Retinal arteriolar and venular calibre was measured from digital fundus photographs at baseline and at three monthly intervals to 1 year, and summarised as central retinal artery equivalent (CRAE) and central retinal venular equivalent (CRVE), respectively.Results
A total of 53 injected eyes and 41 fellow, non-injected eyes were analysed. At baseline, there were no differences in retinal vascular calibre between injected and non-injected eyes (mean CRAE (SD) 144.93 (14.07) vs 145.74 (13.10) μm, P=0.80 and mean CRVE (SD) 216.23 (25.93) vs 219.91 (22.82) μm, P=0.53). Over a 12-month period, retinal venular calibre dilatation occurred in injected eyes (mean CRVE change +5.71 (14.71) μm, P=0.007), with no change in retinal arterioles, +0.69 (14.71) μm, P=0.68. In non-injected eyes, arteriolar narrowing occurred as a whole, mean CRAE change −4.20 (7.00) μm, P=0.001, over 12 months, with a trend for narrowing in venules, −2.16 (11.56) μm, P=0.28. In injected eyes, after controlling for covariates, the changes in CRVE over 12 months mirrored improvements in macular thickness, −0.06 (−0.005, −0.11) μm, P=0.04, and visual acuity, +9.66 (−0.30, +19.32) μm, P=0.06.Conclusion
Intravitreal ranibizumab significantly dilated retinal venules after a 1-year period. 相似文献14.

Purpose
The study aims to identify the association between the baseline retinal vascular calibre and visual outcome of patients with diabetic macular oedema (DMO) treated with intravitreal ranibizumab.Methods
The 1-M field (as defined in the ETDRS study) of the digital colour fundus photographs of DMO patients who had been treated primarily with ranibizumab in a clinical trial was assessed. Of the 84 patients, 25 had gradable retinal photographs that could be subjected to analyses by the Interactive Vessel Analysis (IVAN) software at baseline. The average retinal vascular calibre of the six largest venules (CRVE) and the six largest arterioles (CRAE) in the peripapillary area (0.5 and 1 disc diameter from the optic disc margin) was measured. The relationship between CRVE and CRAE at baseline and the change in visual acuity at month 12 was assessed using the Mann–Whitney U test.Results
Ten eyes from 10 patients who had shown an improvement of ≥2 lines of best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) at month 12 had a wider baseline CRVE (248.3±24.5 μm) compared with the 15 eyes from 15 patients who did not show the improvement of ≥2 lines (226.6±44.8 μm, P<0.05). The baseline CRAE did not differ significantly in these patients (156.1±22.7 vs 142±17.5 μm, P=0.17).Conclusions
A wider baseline retinal venular calibre may be a predictor of better visual outcome in DMO eyes treated with ranibizumab. Further prospective studies with a larger sample size and a broader range of disease severity and visual acuity are needed to confirm this finding. 相似文献15.

AIM: To compare the efficacy of low-fluence photodynamic therapy (PDT) combinations in the treatment of age-related macular degeneration (AMD).
METHODS: Forty-five previously untreated eyes of 45 patients with exudative AMD whose best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was ≥0.3 (Snellen) were enrolled. 15 patients in Group I underwent low-fluence PDT (25J/cm2-300mW/cm2-83sec) and intravitreal pegaptanib combination, 15 patients in Group II underwent PDT (50J/cm2-600mW/cm2-83sec) and intravitreal pegaptanib combination while, 15 patients in Group III underwent intravitreal pegaptanib monotherapy. Complete ophthalmologic examinations were performed in pre and post treatment visits, and the results were statistically analised. A clinical activity score (CAS) was calculated by using changes in lesion size, amount of hemorrhage, staining pattern in FA and OCT measurement of intra/subretinal fluid. ≤ 3 logMAR lines of decrease in BCVA and decrease in CAS were considered as successful treatment.
RESULTS: The mean age of 19 female (42.2%) and 26 male (57.8%) patients was 72.82±8.02 years. Mean follow-up was 13.93±5.87 months. Lesion type was occult in 28 eyes (62.2%). Treatment success rates according to BCVA assessments were 86.7%, 80%, 60% and mean BCVA decrease were 0.3, 1.0, 2.2 logMAR lines in Group I, II and III, respectively (P>0.05). According to the changes in central macular thickness and CAS, no difference was found among the study groups (P=0.850 and P=0.811, respectively). Patients treated with combination regimens had lower intravitreal injection frequencies (P=0.015).
CONCLUSION: Combination regimen with intravitreal pegaptanib and low-fluence PDT seems to be safe and effective in stabilizing the clinical activity and BCVA in exudative AMD. 相似文献

AIM: To evaluate prospectively immediate intraocular pressure (IOP) changes after the intravitreal injection of ranibizumab, 2 and 4mg triamcinolone acetonide.
METHODS: Patients who underwent intravitreal injection of 0.1mL (4mg) triamcinolone acetonide (TA, Group T4), 0.05mL (2mg) TA (Group T2) and 0.05mL (0.5mg) ranibizumab (Group R) comprised the study population. Overall, 229 eyes of 205 patients were injected. Fifty-four eyes (23.6%) were in Group T4, 69 eyes (30.1%) in Group T2 and 106 eyes (46.3%) in Group R. If IOP was less than 26mmHg immediately after the injection no further measurement was performed. If IOP was ≥26mmHg, IOP was remeasured till the reading was below 26mmHg at 5, 15 and 30 minutes.
RESULTS: Immediately after the injection, the IOP of 28 eyes (51.9%) in Group T4, 22 eyes (31.9%) in Group T2 and 51 eyes (48.1%) in Group R were over 25mmHg. At 30 minutes, IOP of one eye (1.9%) in group T4, two eyes (2.9%) in group T2 and two eyes (1.9 %) in Group R were over 25mmHg. Immediate post-injection IOP was significantly higher in Group T4 and Group R when compared to Group T2 (P<0.001 and P<0.001, respectively). IOP was significantly higher in eyes without vitreous reflux when compared to those with vitreous reflux in all groups (P<0.001).
CONCLUSION: IOP may remarkably increase immediately after the intravitreal injection of 2 or 4mg triamcinolone acetonide, and 0.5mg ranibizumab. Absence of vitreous reflux is the most important predicting factor for immediate IOP rise after the injection. 相似文献

AIM: To compare the best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) between Verteporfin with photodynamic therapy (PDT) and intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) in patients with myopic choroidal neovascularization (CNV).METHOD: Published literature from Medline, Premedline, Embase and the Cochrane Library from inception until November 2013 were retrieved. All studies evaluating the BCVA between Verteporfin with PDT and intravitreal anti-VEGF for myopic CNV were included. The results were pooled using mean difference (MD), a corresponding 95% confidence interval (CI).RESULTS:Finally, five studies enrolled 349 eyes were included in the meta-analysis. We inferred that the BCVA of myopic CNV after the treatment of anti-VEGF was significantly better compared with Verteporfin with PDT (MD=0.25, 95%CI:0.17-0.33, Z=5.97, P<0.00001).CONCLUSION: This meta-analysis suggests that intravitreal anti-VEGF could have a better BCVA after treatment than Verteporfin with PDT for myopic CNV. 相似文献

AIM: To compare visual acuity (VA) outcomes between intravitreal injection of bevacizumab and ranibizumab in the treatment of neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD).
METHODS: We conducted a consecutive, retrospective case series study in patients with newly diagnosed all type choroidal neovascularization (CNV) secondary to AMD who received an intravitreal injection of bevacizumab (1.25mg) or ranibizumab (0.3mg) at Lions Eye Institute, Western Australia from Mar. 2006 to May 2008. All patients received injection at baseline with additional monthly injections given at the discretion of the treating physician. Main outcome measures were changes in VA.
RESULTS: There were 371 consecutive patients received injection at least in one eye with at least 6 months of follow up (median of 12.0 months). Bevacizumab treatment prevented 221 out of 278 (79.5%) patients from losing < 15 letters in VA compared with 79 out of 93 (84.9%) of ranibizumab treated patients (P=0.25). While 68 (24.5%) of bevacizumab treated patients gained ≥15 letters of VA compared with 24 (25.8%) of ranibizumab treated patients (P=0.79). 75.3% and 66.2% patients benefited from ranibizumab and bevacizumab respectively with final VA better than 6/60 (P=0.10). Multivariate analysis showed that pre-treatment VA was negatively associated with benefit outcome. Assignment of injection was not associated with VA outcome of benefit after adjusting the covariate (P=0.857).
CONCLUSION: There are no difference in treatment efficacy in terms of VA between bevacizumab and ranibizumab in routine clinical condition. 相似文献

Purpose
To evaluate the impact of traditional French summer vacation on visual acuity and spectral domain-optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) of Wet AMD patients being treated with intravitreal Ranibizumab.Methods
This was a consecutive, comparative, single-centre, prospective analysis. All patients who were being treated with intravitreal injection of 0.5 mg ranibizumab at Cergy Pontoise Hospital, Department of Ophthalmology between July 2013 and September 2014 were included. Patients were divided into two groups: (A) patients who skipped one ranibizumab intravitreal injection during holidays, and (B) patients who received injection during their holidays. Evaluations occurred prior to traditional holiday (baseline) and 2 months later, consisting of BCVA using ETDRS, and a complete ophthalmic examination that included slit-lamp biomicroscopy, fundus examination, fluorescein angiography (FA), indocyanine green angiography (ICGA), and spectral domain-optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT). All patients were being treated with PRN anti-VEGF regimen and criteria for reinjection included a visual acuity loss >5 ETDRS letters and/or an increase of central retinal thickness, presence of subretinal fluid, intraretinal fluid, or pigment epithelium detachment. If reinjection criteria were not met, patients were advised to return in 4 weeks.Results
The mean visual acuity change was −0.071±0.149 (LogMAR) in group A and +0.003±0.178 in group B (P=0.041). At the second visit (2 months after preholidays visit), 61.8% of patients in group A had SRF and/or intraretinal cysts, and only 27.6% of patients in group B. There was a significant difference in the persistence of fluid between the two groups (P=0.007, χ2-test).Conclusion
This cases series demonstrated the detrimental impact of holidays on visual acuity in patients treated with ranibizumab for AMD, which, in spite of their treatment regimen, still leave in vacation. Therefore, it is important to convey the message of treatment adherence to patients, despite their need of holidays. 相似文献20.
