摘要

Introduction: The study aimed to assess real-world treatment outcomes of proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) in terms of visual acuity (VA) change after pan-retinal photocoagulation (PRP) with adjunct treatments and clinical burden in Thailand.
Methods: Multi-center retrospective medical review of the patients with PDR who received the first PRP from 1 June 2016 to 30 June 2019 with at least 1-year follow-up data.
Result: 359 patients were included. Mean change in ETDRS letters VA declined at year 1 (-2.44, 95% confidence interval [CI] -4.54 to -0.34, p = 0.023), year 2 (-3.52, 95%CI –6.85 to -0.18, p = 0.039) and year 3 (-7.38, 95%CI -13.77 to -0.99, p = 0.024). Of all 359 patients, 162 patients (45.13%) had PRP monotherapy, 164 patients (45.68%) had adjunctive anti-vascular endothelial growth factor treatments and a few had other adjunctive treatments. The median number of visits to complete PRP is 3, with a total of 8 visits within one year.
Conclusion: This study demonstrates real-world outcomes of a decline in VA following PRP in patients with PDR in Thailand. Due to the nature of retrospective study and lack of confounding control in this study, the results should be interpreted with caution. Adjunctive treatments were common in patients with PDR.
Conflicts of interest: This study was sponsored by Novartis (Thailand) Ltd.
