目的:确定中间年龄相关性黄斑变性(iAMD)的多个光学相干断层扫描(OCT)生物标志物的频率及其与2年后完全视网膜色素上皮和外视网膜萎缩(cRORA)发展的关系。
方法:回顾性队列研究。
方法:这项回顾性分析包括330例连续iAMD患者的330只眼,其中至少一只眼具有24个月的随访数据。
方法:光谱OCT体积扫描(超过6x6mm的49次B扫描,ART=6,中央凹中心)在基线时评估先前描述的iAMD生物标志物,包括高中央玻璃疣体积(DV;≥0.03mm3),视网膜内超反射焦点(IHRF),视网膜下椎间盘样沉积(SDD),低反射玻璃疣核(hDC),和薄或厚(多层)双层标志(DLS)。同样评估了眼睛的AMD状态,并将其分类为正常或早期AMD。iAMD,渗出性黄斑新生血管(MNV),或crora。
方法:cRORA的发病率,人口统计学和OCT特征的赔率比(OR)。
结果:在第24个月,16.36%(54/330)的iAMD眼出现cRORA。几个基线特征,包括高中央DV,IHRF,SDD,hDC,薄DLS,和同侧眼的cRORA与2年时发生cRORA的风险显著增加相关.赔率比,95%置信区间,p值,这些生物标志物的基线频率为:DV(6.510,2.467-17.176,p<0.001,49.1%),IHRF(12.763,4.763-34.202,p<0.001,38.8%),SDD(2.307,1.003-5.304,p=0.049,34.2%),hDC(3.012,1.152-7.873,p=0.024,13.0%),薄DLS(4.517,1.555-13.126,p=0.006,11.8%),和cRORA在同伴眼中(7.184,1.938-26.623,p=0.003,8.2%)。
结论:除了先前报道的四个因素外,iAMD的显着比例(DV,IHRF,hDC,SDD),薄的DLS,和同侧眼cRORA与2年后进展为cRORA的风险增加相关.这些生物标志物可能有助于预测,风险分层,并选择患者进行临床试验。
To determine the frequency of multiple OCT biomarkers of intermediate age-related macular degeneration (iAMD) and their relationship with the development of complete retinal pigment epithelium and outer retinal atrophy (cRORA) after 2 years.
Retrospective cohort study.
This retrospective analysis included 330 eyes of 330 consecutive patients with iAMD in ≥ 1 eye who had 24 months of follow-up data.
Spectralis OCT volume scans (49 B-scans over 6 × 6 mm, automatic real time = 6, fovea-centered) at baseline were evaluated for the previously described iAMD biomarkers, including a high-central drusen volume (DV; ≥ 0.03 mm3), intraretinal hyper-reflective foci (IHRF), subretinal drusenoid deposits (SDDs), hypo-reflective drusen cores (hDCs), and a thin or thick (multilayered) double-layer sign (DLS). The age-related macular degeneration (AMD) status in the fellow eye was also assessed and classified as normal or early AMD, iAMD, exudative macular neovascularization, or cRORA.
Incidence of cRORA, odds ratio for demographics, and OCT features.
At month 24, 16.36% (54/330) of the iAMD eyes developed cRORA. Several baseline features, including high-central DV, IHRF, SDD, hDC, thin DLS, and cRORA in the fellow eye, were associated with a significantly greater risk for development of cRORA at 2 years. The odds ratio, 95% confidence interval, P value, and baseline frequencies of these biomarkers were DV (6.510, 2.467-17.176, P < 0.001, 49.1%), IHRF (12.763, 4.763-34.202, P < 0.001, 38.8%), SDD (2.307, 1.003-5.304, P = 0.049, 34.2%), hDC (3.012, 1.152-7.873, P = 0.024, 13.0%), thin DLS (4.517, 1.555-13.126, P = 0.006, 11.8%), and cRORA in the fellow eye (7.184, 1.938-26.623, P = 0.003, 8.2%).
In addition to the 4 previously reported factors that are present in a significant proportion of iAMD (DV, IHRF, hDC, and SDD), a thin DLS and cRORA in the fellow eye were associated with an increased risk of progression to cRORA over 2 years. These biomarkers may aid in prognostication, risk stratification, and selection of patients for clinical trials.
