Vitreomacular Interface Disorders in Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy: An Optical Coherence Tomography Study.

ABSTRACT: Vitreomacular interface plays an important role in the pathogenesis and progression of proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR). This study investigated the prevalence and risk factors of vitreomacular interface disorders (VMID) in PDR. The macular optical coherence tomography (OCT) scans of 493 eyes from 378 PDR patients were retrospectively reviewed to detect VMID, including vitreomacular adhesion (VMA), vitreomacular traction (VMT), epiretinal membrane (ERM), lamellar hole-associated epiretinal proliferation (LHEP), and macular hole (MH). The associations between VMID and baseline factors, intraretinal structure, and visual acuity were analyzed. The prevalence was 78.9% for ERM, 13.4% for VMT, 4.8% for MH, 2.2% for LHEP, and 2.0% for VMA, respectively. On multivariable analyses (odds ra
