Treatment patterns, visual acuity and quality-of-life outcomes of the WAVE study - a noninterventional study of ranibizumab treatment for neovascular age-related macular degeneration in Germany.

Abstract:

PURPOSE:To evaluate effectiveness, tolerability and safety of repeated intravitreal injections of 0.5 mg ranibizumab for the treatment of neovascular age-related macular degeneration in routine medical practice in Germany. METHODS:A noninterventional study with 3470 patients treated in 274 medical centres according to German guidelines, with monthly intravitreal injections of 0.5 mg ranibizumab during upload (3 months) followed by a maintenance phase (9 months) with reinjections if medically indicated. RESULTS:Mean injection rate was 4.34 (SE = 0.05; median = 3.0). Best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) remained stable (mean change 0.02 LogMAR, SE = 0.01, p = 0.0169) and central retinal thickness (CRT) decreased (by -78.9 μm, SE = 2.95 μm, p < 0.0001). The NEI-VFQ 25 summary score showed a positive stabilization with a mean change of 0.73 (SE = 0.37, p = 0.0501) compared with baseline. Adverse events were documented for 6.5% of the patients with 3.9% of these events being classified as serious. CONCLUSIONS:The number of administered intravitreal injections of ranibizumab over the first year of treatment was very low but still achieved a stabilization of BCVA, a reduction in CRT and maintained vision-related quality of life. The management of patients with neovascular AMD in Germany needs to be improved to achieve better treatment results.

  • Forgotten achievements of Polish retinal research in international ophthalmology.

    abstract::The development of ophthalmology was greatly restricted in Poland in the 19th century, because it was partitioned and occupied by its three dominant neighbours. Polish medical universities were closed, and in Polish hospitals, only clinical work was possible. Those who wanted to study medicine and become ophthalmologi...
