ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT

Purpose:

To compare the efficacy of intravitreal ranibizumab and bevacizumab treatment for type 1 retinopathy of prematurity (ROP).

Methods:

36 eyes of 20 patients with type 1 ROP who received anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) intravitreal injections between August 2011 and February 2013 were retrospectively evaluated. Fifteen eyes of 8 patients received 0.25 mg ranibizumab (group 1), and 21 eyes of 12 patients received 0.625 mg bevacizumab (group 2). Eyes were examined by indirect ophthalmoscopy on the first day, third day, first week, and first month and as required after injections. Laser photocoagulation was performed in cases with progression of ROP.

Results:

The mean gestation time was 26.2 ± 2.7 weeks in group 1 patients and 27.1 ± 2.5 weeks in group 2 patients. No statistical difference in the time of gestation was observed between the two groups. The mean follow-up period was 20 ± 4.5 months. Laser photocoagulation was performed in 6 of 15 eyes from group 1 and 2 of 21 eyes from group 2. No eyes developed retinal detachment during the follow-up period.

Conclusion:

Ranibizumab and bevacizumab showed an efficacy in the treatment of type 1 ROP. The incidence of disease relapse was higher in eyes which received ranibizumab. Further randomized, controlled clinical trials are required to compare the efficacy of ranibizumab and bevacizumab.
RESUMO
RESUMO

Objetivo:

Comparar a eficácia de ranibizumab e bevacizumab intravítreos no tratamento da retinopatia da prematuridade (ROP) tipo 1.

Método:

Foram avaliados retrospectivamente 36 olhos de 20 pacientes com retinopatia da prematuridade tipo 1 que receberam injeções intravítreas anti fator de crescimento endotelial vascular (anti VEGF) entre agosto de 2011 e fevereiro 2013. Quinze olhos de 8 pacientes receberam 0,25 mg ranibizumab (grupo 1) e 21 olhos de 12 pacientes receberam 0,625 mg bevacizumab (grupo 2). Os olhos foram examinados por oftalmoscopia indireta no primeiro dia, terceiro dia, primeira semana, e primeiro mês e conforme necessário após a injeção. Fotocoagulação com laser foi realizada quando foi detectada progressão da retinopatia da prematuridade.

Resultados:

Média do tempo de gestação para os pacientes do grupo 1 foi de 26,2 ± 2,7 semanas, enquanto para o grupo 2 foi de 27,1 ± 2,5 semanas. Não houve diferença estatística em relação ao tempo de gestação entre os grupos. A média de acompanhamento foi de 20 ± 4,5 meses. Fotocoagulação a laser foi realizada a 6 dos 15 olhos do grupo 1 e 2 dos 21 olhos do grupo 2. Nenhum dos olhos desenvolveu descolamento de retina no período de acompanhamento.

Conclusão:

O ranibizumab e bevacizumab são eficazes no tratamento da retinopatia da prematuridade tipo 1. Incidência de progressão foi maior nos olhos que receberam ranibizumab. Ensaios clínicos controlados futuros são necessários para comparar esses dois medicamentos.
