Abstract

Objective: The objective of this study is to assess the follow-up and treatment outcomes of eyes with wet age-related macular degeneration(wet AMD) for two years in a real-life clinical practice setting. Methods: In total, 37 eyes of 37 patients with wet AMD treated with 0.5 mg of intravitreal ranibizumab as needed and with at least 2 years offollow-up were retrospectively evaluated. Analyses included best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and central foveal thickness measurements(CFT) by optical coherence tomography at baseline, sixth month, first year, and second year along with the number of injections and follow-upvisits. Results: A total of 37 eyes of 37 patients (23 women and 14 men) with a mean age of 74.6±7.9 years were evaluated in this study. The meanBCVAs were 58.1±26.7 letters at baseline, 59.9±29.3 letters at the sixth month, 58.8±28.9 letters at the first year, and 59.2±28.5 letters at thesecond year. No statistically significant difference in BCVA was detected among the scores at baseline, sixth month, first year, and second year(p=0.214, 0.791, and 0.945, respectively). The CFTs averaged 340.6±89.7 μm at baseline, 316.9±87.8 μm at the sixth month, 330.2±95.8 μmat the first year, and 323.4±97.2 μm at the second year. Only the CFT at sixth month showed a statistically significant improvement over thebaseline value (p=0.031). Conclusion: Considering the number of injections and follow-up visits, along with the course of outcomes in BCVA and CFT, our real-life outcomesremained far below the outcomes reported in pivotal randomized clinical trials. However, recent papers related to real-life performance in wetAMD show similar results to those of our study.

Özet

Amaç: Kliniğimiz retina birimince takip edilen yaş tip yaşa bağlı maküla dejeransı (YBMD) hastalarının 2 yıllık gerçek yaşam takip ve tedaviparametrelerinin değerlendirilmesi. Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışma kriterlerine uygun şekilde takipte kalan ve intravitreal 0,5 mg ranibizumab tedavisi uygulanan yaş tip YBMD tanısıalmış 37 hastanın 37 gözü retrospektif olarak değerlendirildi. Demografik özelliklerin yanında başlangıç, 6. ay, 1. yıl, 2. yıl en iyi düzeltilmiş görmekeskinlikleri (EİDGK), optik kohorens tomografi (OKT) santral foveal kalınlık (SFK) değerlerindeki değişim ile 1. yılda ve 2. yılda gerçekleştirilebilmişmuayene ve enjeksiyon sayıları irdelendi. Bulgular: Yirmi dördü kadın 14’ü erkek 37 hastanın yaş ortalaması 74,6±7,9 iken, görme keskinliği skoruna göre EİDGK sırası ile başlangıçtaortalama 58,1±26,7 harf, 6. ayda 59,9±29,3 harf, 1. yılda 58,8±28,9 harf, 2. yılda 59,2±28,5 harf olarak gerçekleşti. EİDGK başlangıç değerleri ile1. yıl, 2. yıl değerleri arasında istatiksel olarak anlamlı farklılık izlenmedi (p=0,791, p=0.945). OKT SFK değerleri ise sırası ile başlangıçta ortalama 340,6±89,7 μm, 6. ayda 316,9±87,8 μm, 1. yılda 330,2±9,8 μm, 2. yılda 323,4±97,2 μm olarak seyretti. OKT SFK değerlerinde 6. aydaki SFKdeğeri başlangıç değerine göre anlamlı ölçüde azalmış (p=0,031) olmakla beraber; 1. ve 2. yıllardaki SFK değerleri başlangıç değerlerine göreanlamlı bulunmamıştır (p=0,594, p=0,233). Sonuç: Kliniğimiz retina birimince takip/tedavi edilen gözlere uygulanan enjenksiyon sayısı ve muayene sayısı konu ile ilgili rehber niteliği taşıyançok merkezli randomize çalışmalarda bildirilen rakamlardan düşük olarak izlenmektedir. Buna karşılık gerçek yaşam pratiğinde tedavi ve takipperformansı ile 2 yıllık süreçte başlangıç görme düzeyleri ve OKT parametrelerinin en azından korunmuş olduğu görülmektedir. Bu sonuç, benzergerçek yaşam çalışmaları ile uyumludur.
