Predictive risk scores for visual prognosis after photodynamic therapy for central serous chorioretinopathy.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To comprehensively evaluate baseline characteristics of patients with central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) and develop predictive risk scores to identify visual prognosis.

Methods

This single-institute, retrospective cohort study included 144 eyes of 144 patients with CSC who underwent photodynamic therapy and achieved serous retinal detachment resolution. We developed and assessed the performance of several risk scores for best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) outcomes six months post-treatment: i) BCVA improvement (≤-1.0 logMAR), and ii) BCVA deterioration (≥+ 1.0 logMAR).

Results

The BCVA improvement models used photoreceptor outer segment thickness, loss of photoreceptor outer segment, and neurosensory retinal thickness (NSRT), while the BCVA deterioration
