Abstract

Demographic characteristics, number of injections and data about complications in 1010 patients who were performed intraocular injection due to retinal diseases resulting from neovascularization or edema were retrospectively evaluated. Results of 4 major groups of patients were evaluated separately. Total number of patients, mean age, ratio of female to male, mean number of injections for single eye and the most commonly administered drug were 432 patients, 58.9 years, 1.4, 3±1.2 and bevacizumab (76%), respectively, in wet type age-related macular degeneration, while these numbers were 399 patients, 50.4 years, 1.1, 3±1.5 and bevacizumab (68%) for diabetic retinopathy, 33 patients, 51.3 years, 0.8, 3±1.1 and bevacizumab (66%) for retinal vein occlusion, and 52 patients (17 Behcet and 35 non-Behcet), 33 years, 1.1, 3±1.6 and triamcinolone acetonide (64%) for uveitis. Ninety four patients underwent intraocular injection for other indications. Injection related complications for all groups were intravitreal hemorrhage in two patients (bevacizumab), intraocular pressure elevation in 4 patients (triamcinolone acetonide) and cataract in two patients developing after five months (triamcinolone acetonide). A substantial decrease in complication rates may be achieved with intraocular injections performed in accordance with the standart guidelines. However patients should be informed about possible complications and examined thoroughly for additional ophthalmic pathologies that may increase the risk of complication occurrence.

Özet

Ödem veya neovaskülarizasyonla seyreden retinal hastalık nedeniyle göz içi ilaç enjeksiyonu uygulanan 1010 hastanın demografik özellikleri, enjeksiyon sayıları ve komplikasyonlarla ilgili bilgiler retrospektif olarak incelendi. Dört ana hasta grubu için sonuçlar ayrı ayrı değerlendirildi. Toplam hasta sayısı, ortalama yaş, kadın/erkek oranı, tek göz için ortalama enjeksiyon sayısı ve en sık uygulanan ilaç sırasıyla yaş tip yaşa bağımlı maküla dejenerasyonu için 432 hasta, 58.9 yıl, 1.4, 3±1.2 ve %76 bevakizumab enjeksiyonu olarak belirlenirken, diyabetik retinopati için 399 hasta, 50.4 yıl, 1.1, 3±1.5 ve %68 bevakizumab enjeksiyonu, ven tıkanıklığı için 33 hasta, 51.3 yıl, 0.8, 3±1.1 ve %66 bevakizumab enjeksiyonu ve üveit (17 Behçet, 35 Behçet dışı) için ise 52 hasta, 33 yıl, 1.1, 3±1.6 ve %64 triamsinolon asetonid enjeksiyonu olarak belirlendi. Doksan dört hastaya ise diğer endikasyonlar nedeniyle göz içi enjeksiyon uygulanmıştı. Tüm enjeksiyonlar incelendiğinde komplikasyon olarak iki hastada intravitreal hemoraji (bevakizumab), dört hastada göz içi basınç yüksekliği (triamsinolon asetonid), iki hastada beşinci aydan sonra gelişen katarakt (triamsinolon asetonid) tespit edildi. Standart rehberler doğrultusunda yapılan göz içi enjeksiyonlar ile komplikasyon oranı ciddi şekilde azaltılabilmektedir. Ancak hastaların komplikasyonlar yönünden bilgilendirilmesi ve komplikasyon gelişimini artırabilecek ek göz patolojileri yönünden detaylı muayenesi gereklidir.
