Abstract:
BACKGROUND/AIMS:To assess structural and functional outcomes of treatment with intravitreal aflibercept (®Eylea) for diabetic macular oedema in treatment-naïve patients. METHODS:Sixty-four eyes receiving intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor therapy were included in the data analysis of this retrospective, real-life study which follow-up was 3 years. Each patient had corrected visual acuity in Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study letters and optical coherence tomography central foveal thickness and macular volume performed at baseline, 12, 24 and 36 months. Patients were initiated on a loading phase of five 1-monthly intravitreal aflibercept injections, followed by injections if needed as per clinicians' discretion. RESULTS:The mean number of aflibercept injections received over 3 years was 12.59. At baseline, the mean visual acuity (standard deviation) (Snellen) was 61.45 (16.30) (20/63) Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study letters, the mean central foveal thickness (standard deviation) was 422 (138) µm, while the mean macular volume (standard deviation) was 9.51 (2.01) mm3. At 36 months, the mean visual acuity (standard deviation) (Snellen) was 68.34 (13.66) (20/50) Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study letters (p = .0003). Mean central foveal thickness (standard deviation) was 303 (106) µm (p < .0001) and mean macular volume (standard deviation) was 8.35 (1.62) mm3 (p = .0022) at 36 months. Sixteen (25%) eyes gained ≥15 ETDRS letters at month 36, and 33 (52%) eyes had a decrease in central foveal thickness of ≥ 100 µm at the same time. CONCLUSION:There was a significant improvement in visual acuity and in anatomical outcomes in aflibercept-treated eyes at 36 months after commencing treatment for diabetic macular oedema in real-life settings. The good vision and anatomical outcomes were maintained over second and third year of treatment with mean 2.93 and 2.57 intravitreal injections, respectively.
