Progression to Pars Plana Vitrectomy in Patients With Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

The Diabetic Retinopathy Clinical Research Network Protocol S suggested that vitrectomy for vitreous hemorrhage (VH) or tractional retinal detachment (TRD) was more common among eyes assigned initially to panretinal photocoagulation (PRP) vs anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) for proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR). These clinical implications warrant further evaluation in the clinical practice setting.

Objective

To explore outcomes of PDR treated with PRP monotherapy compared with matched patients treated with anti-VEGF monotherapy.

Design, setting, and participants

Retrospective cohort study using an aggregated electronic health records research network. Patients with PDR who received PRP or anti-VEGF monotherapy between January and
