Prevalence and optical coherence tomography analyses of outer retinal tubulations in Chinese population with inherited retinal diseases.

ABSTRACT:

Background

To investigate the prevalence of outer retinal tubulation (ORT) and its correlations with optical coherence tomography (OCT) parameters in Chinese population with inherited retinal diseases (IRDs).

Methods

This retrospective study enrolled consecutive patients identified with IRDs and referred for genetic testing between February 2016 and April 2021. Clinical characteristics from medical records and features of cross-sectional B-scans were reviewed and analysed. The associations of patient-specific and ocular features with the presence of ORT were evaluated using univariate and multivariate analyses.

Results

Two hundred and three patients (401 eyes) with a mean age of 49.7 ± 16.7 years were enrolled. ORT was observed in 41 eyes (10.2%), including 26 of 28 e
