Summary

Long-term follow-up of patients with diabetic macular edema (DME) treated with intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) combined focal laser and identification of prognostic morphological characteristics.

Detailed description

Long-term follow-up of patients with diabetic macular edema (DME) treated with intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) combined focal laser and identification of prognostic morphological characteristics. Prospective clinical trial (50 treatment-naive eyes) with DME randomized 1:1 receiving intravitreal ranibizumab (0.5 mg/0.05 ml) and prompt grid laser compared to ranibizumab and deferred laser. Morphological characteristics potentially relevant for prognosis were assessed at baseline, month 6, month 9, year 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 of follow-up. Grid laser and ranibizumab therapy is expected to be effective in DME management during long-term follow-up. Immediate combined therapy will likely signify a trend of functional superiority in an early disease phase. Intraretinal hyperreflective material in SD-OCT will likely negatively related to BCVA.
