SCORE Study Report 7: incidence of intravitreal silicone oil droplets associated with staked-on vs luer cone syringe design.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To evaluate the incidence of intravitreal silicone oil (SO) droplets associated with intravitreal injections using a staked-on vs luer cone syringe design in the SCORE (Standard Care vs COrticosteroid in REtinal Vein Occlusion) Study.

Design

Prospective, randomized, phase III clinical trial.

Methods

The incidence of intravitreal SO was compared among participants exposed to the staked-on syringe design, the luer cone syringe design, or both of the syringe designs in the SCORE Study, which evaluated intravitreal triamcinolone acetonide injection(s) for vision loss secondary to macular edema associated with central or branch retinal vein occlusion. Injections were given at baseline and 4-month intervals, based on treatment assignment and study-defined retreatmen
