Efficacy of uveitis secondary to cystoid macular edema / 眼科新进展

ABSTRACT

Objective To observe the prognosis and correlated factors of cystoid macular edema (CME) secondary to uveitis.Methods A retrospective,noncomparative case series study.The clinical data of 31 uveitis patients with CME were collected from Uveitis & Ocular Immunology Service of Tianjin Medical University Eye Hospital from August 2011 to December 2015.Pre-treatment and post-treatment data were collected,including details of best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA),central macular thickness (CMT),other macular complications,and intraocular pressure (IOP).Results Twenty-seven patients (36 eyes) were analyzed.At the 1 st month after treatment,complete resolution of CME was achieved in 14 eyes (38.9％),BCVA increased from (0.66 ±0.36) LogMAR at baseline to (0.40 ±0.31) LogMAR (P ＜0.001),and CMT decreased from (469.0 ± 99.1) μm at baseline to (368.7 ± 85.9) μm (P ＜ 0.001).At the 3rd month after treatment,complete resolution of CME was found in 19 eyes (52.8％),no significant difference was found in CMT(323.9 ±60.0) μm or BCVA(0.37 ±0.32)LogMAR compared with the 1 st month after treatment (P ＞ 0.05),significant difference was found in CMT(P ＜0.001) or BCVA(P ＜0.001) before the start of treatment.At the 6th month or more after treatment,complete resolution of CME occurred in 25 eyes (69.4％),BCVA(0.32 ± 0.28)LogMAR was significant difference compared with that before the start of treatment(P ＜ 0.05),at the 1st month(P ＜ 0.05),at the 3rd month (P ＜ 0.05).CMT (294.2 ± 81.2) μm was significant difference compared with that before the start of treatment(P ＜0.001),at the 1st month(P ＜0.001),however,no significant difference was compared with that at the 3rd month (P ＞ 0.05).At the 6th month or more after treatment,11 eyes (30.6％) had a persistent macular edema,complicated with macular epiretinal membrane,no significant correlation between the reduction of CMT(185.0 ± 114.2) μm and the improvement of BCVA (0.29 ± 0.21) LogMAR was found (r =0.322,P=0.052),while the improvement of BCVA(0.29 ± 0.21)LogMAR was negatively associated with the duration of CME(8.4 ±9.8)months(r =-0.395,P =0.015).Conclusion Current therapies are effective in curing most of the CME secondary to uveitis.The duration of CME,is correlated with poor final visual acuity,the presence of ERM is an important factor associated with regression of CME.
