Consensus meeting.
An international panel of retina specialists, imaging and image reading center experts, and ocular pathologists.
During several meetings organized under the auspices of the Macula Society, an international study group discussed and codified a set nomenclature framework for classifying the subtypes of neovascular AMD and associated lesion components.
A consensus classification of neovascular AMD.
The study group created a standardized working definition of AMD. The components of neovascular AMD were defined and subclassified. Disease consequences of macular neovascularization were delineated.
The framework of a consensus nomenclature system, a definition of AMD, and a delineation of the subtypes of neovascular AMD were developed. Establishing a uniform set of definitions will facilitate comparison of diverse patient groups and different studies. The framework presented is modified and updated readily, processes that are anticipated to occur on a periodic basis. The study group suggests that the consensus standards outlined in this article be used in future reported studies of neovascular AMD and clinical practice.
共识会议。
国际视网膜专家小组,成像和图像阅读中心专家,和眼病理学家。
在黄斑协会主持下组织的几次会议中,一个国际研究小组讨论并编纂了一套命名框架,用于对新生血管性AMD的亚型和相关病变成分进行分类.
新生血管性AMD的一致分类。
研究组创建了AMD的标准化工作定义。定义新生血管性AMD的成分并进行分类。描绘了黄斑新生血管形成的疾病后果。
共识命名系统的框架,AMD的定义,并对新生血管性AMD的亚型进行了描述。建立一组统一的定义将有助于比较不同的患者组和不同的研究。提出的框架很容易修改和更新,预计定期发生的过程。研究组建议,本文概述的共识标准可用于未来报道的新生血管性AMD研究和临床实践。
