The role of optical coherence tomography angiography in assessing diabetic choroidopathy: a systematic review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a leading cause of vision impairment worldwide, affecting both retinal and choroidal vasculature. While advances in imaging technology, particularly optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA), provide new opportunities to assess choroidal changes in diabetic patients, the role of OCTA in early diagnosis and monitoring of diabetic choroidopathy remains unclear.

Objective

This review aims to evaluate the potential role of OCTA in diagnosing and monitoring diabetic choroidopathy.

Methods

A systematic review was conducted following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) 2020 guidelines. Databases including PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Google Scholar, ISI, and Scopus were searched for st
