ABSTRACT

@#AIM: To investigate the therapeutic effects of panretinal photocoagulation(PRP)with multiple wavelength and multispot pattern scan laser combined with conbercept for proliferative diabetic retinopathy.<p>METHODS: Retrospective case control study. A total of 102 eyes of 80 cases with proliferative diabetic retinopathy without proliferative fiber membrane from retinal or vitreous hemorrhage were recorded. The eyes were divided into two groups according to the therapeutic methods: group A included 60 eyes of 48 cases received only PRP; group B included 42 eyes of 32 cases received intravitreal injection of 0.5mg conbercept before PRP. All patients were given PRP with multiple wavelength and multispot pattern scan laser(NIDEK MC-500VIXI)and completed in twice with the interval time 3-7d. The patients were received supplementary laser therapy after 3mo according to fundus fluorescein angiography(FFA)results. The therapeutic effect and related complications were observed in two groups, the best corrected visual acuity(BCVA)of 3mo after PRP was recorded and the changes of central macular thickness(CMT)were compared. All patients were followed up for at least 3mo.<p>RESULTS: Incidence rate of vitreous hemorrhage and macular edema happened or became worse in group A was obviously higher than group B, the difference was statistically significant(<i>P</i><0.05). The effective rate was 73.33% in group A and 90.48% in group B at 3mo after PRP and the difference was statistically significant(<i>P</i><0.05). The CMT values at different time points after treatment in the two group showed a significant difference(<i>P</i><0.05).<p>CONCLUSION: Intravitreal injection of conbercept combined with PRP with multiple wavelength and multispot pattern scan laser as a treatment for early proliferative diabetic retinopathy can reduce vitreous hemorrhage in the process of PRP and macular edema, and is more effective with better visual acuity recovery compared with only PRP.
