Analysis of factors affecting prognosis of the visual acuity and baseline risk factors for subretinal fibrosis in neovascular age-related macular degeneration patients.

ABSTRACT:

Background

To evaluate factors affecting visual acuity prognosis in patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) following anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) therapy via intravitreal injection and to identify baseline risk factors for subretinal fibrosis (SF).

Methods

A retrospective study of 64 nAMD eyes treated with intravitreal anti-VEGF treatment over 12 months of follow-up was conducted. Demographic and optical coherence tomography characteristics at baseline were recorded to explore the relevant factors affecting visual acuity outcome. Find baseline risk factors for SF development. The primary baseline measures included OCT qualitative and quantitative indicators, and optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) quantitative fea
