Disorganization of Inner Retina and Outer Retinal Morphology in Diabetic Macular Edema.

ABSTRACT: Importance:In diabetic macular edema (DME), identification of baseline markers on spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) and their association with severity of diabetic retinopathy (DR) might aid in disease management and the design of future trials. Objective:To examine associations between DR severity, retinal morphology on SD-OCT, and visual acuity in participants with DME. Design, Setting, and Participants:This cross-sectional observational case series was conducted at a single tertiary care referral center. Demographics, visual acuity, SD-OCT, and color fundus photographs of 80 individuals with DME (102 eyes) seen between December 28, 2013, and April 30, 2014, were analyzed between May 1 and July 31, 2016. Main Outcomes and Measures:Features captured on SD-OCT and thick
