Incidence, Risk Factors, and Timing of Elevated Intraocular Pressure After Intravitreal Triamcinolone Acetonide Injection for Macular Edema Secondary to Retinal Vein Occlusion: SCORE Study Report 15.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

The Standard of Care vs Corticosteroid for Retinal Vein Occlusion (SCORE) Study showed that intravitreal triamcinolone acetonide (IVTA) is effective at reducing macular edema and improving visual acuity in participants with retinal vein occlusion. Secondary analysis of the incidence, risk factors, and timing of intraocular pressure (IOP) elevation occurring after IVTA provides guidance for clinical decision making and management of patients treated with IVTA.

Objective

To investigate the incidence, risk factors, and time course of IOP elevation in participants in the SCORE Study.

Design, setting, and participants

Secondary analysis conducted from August through December 2014 of a prospective, randomized clinical trial featuring an evaluable population condu
