RESUMO

AIM: To evaluate the perception of barriers in healthcare and the impact of intravitreal injections in patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD). METHODS: Cross-sectional study including 108 patients with nAMD in treatment with intravitreal injections. The patients answered a questionnaire with 26 questions (score from 1 to 5) divided in three sections: 1) the disease and its treatment with injections, 2) healthcare barriers and 3) new technologies. RESULTS: The mean age was 80.4 ±â€¯7.0 years and visual acuity (VA) was 75.2 ±â€¯12.4 letters. The main barriers in healthcare were long waiting times (72%), followed by other comorbidities (10%). Some 63% of patients have to wait between 3 and 5 h to attend their clinical visit. Significant anxiety due to the injections (2.8 ±â€¯1.3) was observed, being present in 71% of the cases the day before. A great fear of blindness and losing independence was observed (4.4 ±â€¯0.9 and 4.3 ±â€¯1.1), with no differences in relation to VA, age or sex (p ≥ 0.135). Moreover, 28% of the patients reported that it was quite or very difficult for them to attend the clinical visit, with 69% of the total showing great interest in having a diagnostic device at home. CONCLUSION: The nAMD and its treatment represent a significant burden on patients, among whom there is a great fear of blindness and of losing their independence, the main barrier being the long waiting time for the clinical visit.

RESUMO

Propósito Evaluar la percepción de las barreras en la asistencia sanitaria y del impacto de las inyecciones intravítreas en los pacientes con degeneración macular asociada a la edad neovascular (DMAEn). Métodos Estudio transversal de 108 pacientes con DMAEn en tratamiento con inyecciones intravítreas mediante un cuestionario de 26 preguntas (puntuación del 1 al 5) divididas en 3 bloques: 1)enfermedad y su tratamiento con inyecciones; 2)barreras en la asistencia sanitaria, y 3)nuevas tecnologías. Resultados La edad media fue 80,4±7,0 años y la agudeza visual (AV) de 75,2±12,4 letras. Las principales barreras en la asistencia sanitaria fueron los largos tiempos de espera en consulta (72%), seguida por otras comorbilidades (10%). El 63% de los pacientes dedican entre 3 y 5h para acudir a la consulta. Se apreció una ansiedad notable debida a las inyecciones (2,8±1,3), estando presente en el 71% el día antes. Se observó un gran miedo a la ceguera y a dejar de ser independientes (4,4±0,9 y 4,3±1,1), sin existir diferencias en relación con la AV, la edad o el sexo (p≥0,135). El 28% de los pacientes refieren que les cuesta bastante o mucho la asistencia a consulta, presentando el 69% del total un gran interés en tener un aparato diagnóstico en el domicilio. Conclusiones La DMAEn y su tratamiento suponen una importante carga asistencial para los pacientes, existiendo un gran miedo a la ceguera y a perder su independencia, siendo la principal barrera el largo tiempo de espera en consulta (AU)

RESUMO

PURPOSE: To assess the vision-related quality of life and the depression and anxiety rates in patients with neovascular Age-Related Macular Degeneration (nAMD). METHODS: A cross-sectional study of patients with nAMD treated with intravitreal injections was performed. The patients completed two validated questionnaires: the Visual Functioning Questionnaire (VFQ-25, score from 0 to 100), and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) questionnaire. Age, gender and visual acuity (VA) in the Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) scale was registered. RESULTS: Fifty-five patients with nAMD participated with a mean age of 80.9 ± 6.6 years-old (range 67-93) and a mean VA in the best eye of 73.5 ± 12.7 letters (range 44-95). The global VFQ-25 mean score was 57.4 ± 21.9 being 38.9 ± 13.2 for the general vision and 42.0 ± 19.5 for the general health. VA in the best eye was associated with the global score of the VFQ-25 scale (R = 0.608; P < .001), but no correlation was observed with general health (P = .936). In the HADS scale, 26.9% and 25.5% of patients had symptoms of depression and anxiety respectively. A negative correlation was found between the HADS and VFQ-25 scales for the general vision score (R = -0.438). CONCLUSION: This study elucidates the impact of vision impairment and the visual functioning in nAMD, describing an important rate of depression and anxiety symptoms.

RESUMO

Propósito Evaluar la calidad de vida relacionada con la visión, así como la presecia de síntomas de depresión y ansiedad en los pacientes con degeneración macular asociada a la edad neovascular (DMAEn). Métodos Se realizó un estudio transversal de pacientes con DMAEn en tratamiento con inyecciones intravítreas de antiangiogénicos. Los pacientes realizaron 2 cuestionarios validados: el cuestionario de función visual (VFQ-25, cuya puntuación varía de 0 a 100) y la Escala hospitalaria de ansiedad y depresión (HADS). Se registraron la edad, el sexo y la agudeza visual (AV) en la escala Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study. Resultado Se incluyeron 55 pacientes con DMAEn con una edad de 80,9±6,6 años (rango 67 a 93) y una AV en el mejor ojo de 73,5±12,7 letras (rango 44 a 95). La puntuación global media en el VFQ-25 fue de 57,4±21,9, siendo 38,9±13,2 para la visión general y 42,0±19,5 para la salud general. La AV se correlacionó con la puntuación global de la escala VFQ-25 (R=0,608; p<0,001), pero no con la salud general (p=0,936). Mediante la escala HADS se detectó un 27,2% y un 25,5% de pacientes con síntomas de depresión y ansiedad respectivamente. Se observó una correlación negativa entre las puntuaciones del HADS y VFQ-25 para el dominio de visión general (R=–0,438). Conclusiones Este estudio muestra el impacto en la calidad de vida y función visual en los pacientes con DMAE neovascular, presentando en un porcentaje considerable de los casos síntomas de depresión y ansiedad (AU)

RESUMO

RESUMEN Fundamento: la degeneración macular relacionada con la edad está entre las causas más comunes de pérdida visual severa e irreversible en pacientes mayores de 60 años en el mundo industrializado. Es considerado el aumento de la esperanza de vida en la población de los adultos mayores, la necesidad de un diagnóstico temprano y oportuno, es obvio para esta enfermedad que constituye un problema de salud a resolver. Objetivo: describir los resultados de la cicatrización con el uso del bevacizumab en la degeneración macular relacionada con la edad húmeda. Métodos: se realizó un estudio descriptivo, longitudinal en pacientes con el diagnóstico de degeneración macular relacionada con la edad húmeda. La población la conformaron 25 pacientes que acudieron a la consulta de retina en el periodo de octubre 2018 a abril 2019 y que cumplieron con los criterios de selección. Se les aplicó una encuesta y se estudiaron variables como: edad, sexo, antecedentes patológicos personales, número de inyecciones intravitreas colocadas a cada paciente, complicaciones post inyección y cicatrización de la lesión macular. BMMEM Resultados: según el comportamiento de los grupos de edades y el sexo, se encontró que la edad entre 60 y 69 fue de diez pacientes y el sexo femenino 15 pacientes fueron los más frecuentes. La hipertensión ocular fue la complicación que predominó. El antecedente patológico personal más frecuente fue la hipertensión arterial con cuatro pacientes. La mayor cantidad de ojos cicatrizaron con la administración de una y dos dosis del medicamento. Conclusiones: predominó el grupo de edad de 60 a 69 años y el sexo femenino. La hipertensión ocular fue la complicación más frecuente. Se constató la hipertensión arterial como el antecedente patológico personal más habitual. La cicatrización de los ojos ocurrió con la administración entre una y dos dosis.


ABSTRACT Background: the age-related macular degeneration is among the most common causes of harsh and irreversible visual loss in patient elders of 60 years in the industrialized world. Considering the increase of life expectancy and the rise in population of the senior citizens, the need of an early and opportune diagnosis, it is obvious for this disease that constitutes a health problem we have to solve. Objective: to describe the results of the cicatrization with the use of the bevacizumab in the age-related humid macular degeneration. Methods: a descriptive, longitudinal study in patients with the diagnosis of age-related humid macular degeneration was carried out. 25 patients that attended the retinal consultation in the period October, 2018 to April, 2019 and who fulfilled the criteria constituted the population of selection. They were applied an opinion poll and they studied variables were: Age, sex, pathological personal background, number of intravitreous injections placed to each patient, complications after injection and cicatrization of the macular injury. B Results: according to the age groups and the sex, it was shown that the age between 60 and 69, ten patients and the feminine sex 15 patients were the most frequent. The ocular hypertension was the complication that predominated with four patients. The greatest amount of eyes healed with the administration of one and two doses of the medication. Conclusions: the age group from 60 to 69 years and the feminine sex predominated. The ocular hypertension was the most frequent complication. It was verified high blood pressure as the most frequent pathological antecedent. The cicatrization of the eyes happened with the administration between one and two doses.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: Analyze clinical features, management and outcomes of patients with sterile endophthalmitis associated with intravitreal antivascular endothelial growth factor. METHODS: Observational retrospective case series of patients with sterile endophthalmitis following anti-VEGF intravitreal injections. Clinical data of patients treated with intravitreal anti-VEGFs during one year have been revised. Those who have presented an episode of sterile endophthalmitis are analyzed and their causality and management are studied. RESULTS: Seven patients have had a sterile endophthalmitis onset within 4days after intravitreal injection (aflibercept n=5 and ranibizumab n=2). These patients have some active neovascular condition: age related macular degeneration (n=4), myopic choroidal neovascularization (n=1) or macular edema: diabetic macular edema (n=1), branch retinal vein occlusion (n=1). Shared signs and symptoms included painless vision loss, anterior chamber and vitreous cell and lack of hypopyon. In all patients, visual acuity returned to within one line of baseline acuity. CONCLUSION: Differentiating cases of sterile from infectious endophthalmitis may be challenging. It is crucial to differentiate both entities as a good diagnosis determines the visual prognosis. We should be aware of minimal inflammation after repeated intravitreal injections in order to establish the adequate treatment.

RESUMO

Objetivo: Identificar si el uso de antibióticos tópicos en inyecciones intravítreas es una intervención terapéutica de poco valor en oftalmología, y de esta manera eliminar gastos innecesarios en salud y la sobre-utilización de los mismos. Diseño del estudio: Revisión sistemática de la literatura. Métodos: La realización de algunas pruebas diagnósticas o intervenciones terapéuticas, ha sido puesta en duda por diversas especialidades. Por lo cual se desarrolló el concepto de los "top 5", destinado a establecer al interior de cada especialidad, aquellas 5 pruebas diagnósticas que son indicadas frecuentemente, pero que, independientemente de su costo, agregan poco valor a la atención del paciente y deben ser desaconsejadas. En esta revisión se tomó como ejemplo específico una de las intervenciones que ha sido objeto de controversia en la especialidad: el uso de antibióticos tópicos en inyecciones intravítreas. Intervención que ha sido considerada como de poco valor por la Academia Americana de Oftalmología (AAO). Resultados: Con el advenimiento de los anti-VEGF, el uso de inyecciones intravítreas para diferentes patologías retinianas creció exponencialmente, volviéndose uno de los procedimientos más comúnmente realizados. En un esfuerzo por reducir la tasa de endoftalmitis, muchos oftalmólogos prescriben antibióticos tópicos previo y posterior a la inyección. Sin embargo, los patrones de práctica han evolucionado y en la actualidad este tipo de antibióticos profilácticos no se recomiendan. Conclusiones: La evidencia sugiere que el uso rutinario de antibióticos tópicos en este contexto no es necesario y por el contrario puede ser contraproducente, al incrementar los costos y alterar la flora conjuntival.


Purpose: To identify if the use of topical antibiotics in intravitreal injections is a poor value therapeutic intervention in ophthalmology, and in this way eliminate unnecessary expenses in health and over-utilization of them. Study design: Systematic review of the literature. Methods: The performance of some diagnostic tests or therapeutic interventions has been questioned by several specialties. Therefore, the concept of the "top 5" was developed. It was destined to establish within each specialty, those 5 diagnostic tests that are indicated very frequently, but independently of their cost, add little value to patients care and should be not recommended. In this review, one of the interventions that has been subject to controversy in the specialty was taken as a specifi c example: the use of topical antibiotics in intravitreal injections. Th e American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO) has considered this intervention as a poor value therapeutic intervention. Results: Since the use of anti-VEGF, the use of intravitreal injections for different retinal pathologies increased exponentially, becoming one of the most commonly performed procedures. In an effort to reduce the rate of endophthalmitis, many ophthalmologists prescribe topical antibiotics in the period before and aft er injection. However, practice patterns have evolved and currently these types of prophylactic antibiotics are not recommended. Conclusions: Evidence suggests that the routine use of topical antibiotics in this context is not necessary and can increase costs and alter conjunctival flora.

RESUMO

CASE REPORT: A 43 year-old female presented with decreased visual acuity in the right eye. «Snowball-like¼ retinal lesions were found in both eyes on examination. Due to a lack of improvement with intravitreal antifungal empirical treatment, vitreous culture was performed and Candida glabrata was isolated. The patient then received intravitreal amphotericin B, as well as systemic treatment with caspofungin and amphotericin B lipid complex. DISCUSSION: Endogenous fungal endophthalmitis is a sight-threatening condition. There are few reports of Candida glabrata endogenous endophthalmitis. Treatment regimens for Candida endophthalmitis include combinations of systemic and/or intravitreal antifungals, as well as vitrectomy.

RESUMO

Introducción: El tratamiento estándar de la Retinopatía del Prematuro (RDP) en etapa umbral es la fotocoagulación con láser (FCL). Recientemente se ha utilizado el bevacizumab, un inhibidor del factor de crecimiento del endotelio vascular (VEGF) con resultados alentadores. Objetivo: Comunicar el resultado del tratamiento con bevacizumab en Recién Nacidos (RN) prematuros con retinopatía en etapa umbral. Pacientes y Método: Se analizaron los RN pretérmino de muy bajo peso (RNMBP) que recibieron bevacizumab, en monoterapia o asociado a FCL, como tratamiento de la RDP en etapa umbral. Se evaluó respuesta al tratamiento, reintervenciones y complicaciones. Resultados: Se analizaron 17 RNMBP con promedio de edad gestacional 26,4 +/- 1,7 sem y peso de nacimiento de 850 +/- 141 g. Los 6 pacientes tratados con bevacizumab en asociación a FCL no requirieron reintervención. De los 11 neonatos que sólo recibieron bevacizumab, el 36,3 por ciento necesitó posteriormente tratamiento con FCL. Conclusiones: El bevacizumab sería una terapia efectiva en el tratamiento de la RDP umbral. En nuestra experiencia presentó ventajas respecto a la FCL, al ser realizado sin necesidad de traslado del RN ni de uso de anestesia general. No observamos complicaciones a corto plazo con el uso de bevacizumab en los pacientes tratados.


Introduction: Standard treatment of threshold Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP) is laser photocoagulation (LPC). Recently, bevacizumab, a vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) inhibitor has been used with positive results. Objective: To communicate the response to treatment with bevacizumab in premature newborns with threshold retinopathy. Patients and Method: Very low birth weight (VLBW) infants that received bevacizumab, in monotherapy or associated with LPC, as treatment for threshold ROP, were analyzed. Response to treatment, reinterventions and complications were evaluated. Results: 17 VLBW infants were analyzed with mean gestational age 26.4 +/- 1.7 weeks and mean birth weight 850 +/- 141 g. All 6 patients treated with bevacizumab in association with LPC did not require reintervention. Of the 11 neonates that only received bevacizumab, 36.3 percent needed further treatment. Conclusions: Bevacizumab could be an effective therapy for treatment of threshold ROP. In our experience it presented advantages compared with LPC, since therapy can be carried out without transferring the patient and with no use of general anesthetics. No short term complications were observed with the use of bevacizumab in treated patients.

RESUMO

La rubeosis de iris es la complicación más frecuente y precoz de muchas enfermedades vasculares del segmento posterior. El manejo de la neovascularización se divideen dos aspectos: el tratamiento de la enfermedad subyacente responsable de la rubeosis y el tratamiento del incremento de la presión intraocular, si está presente. Objetivo: demostrar la efectividad de una opción terapéutica, dada por los pobres resultados con los tratamientos habituales para estas complicaciones. Caso clínico: se presenta un paciente con rubeosis de iris asociado a retinopatía diabética proliferativa; se evaluó mediante examen de mejor agudeza visual corregida, biomiscroscopia del segmento anterior y posterior, tonometría, oftalmoscopia indirecta, gonioscopia. Se realizó la clasificación de la rubeosis de iris en grados según elnúmero de cuadrantes afectados por los neovasos, grado I a grado IV, y grado V, cuando se presentó hifema, además de neovasos en todos los cuadrantes. El examen fundoscópico y la biomicroscopia del segmento posterior, fue diferido por opacidad total del cristalino que impidió ver detalles del fondo. La biomicroscopia del segmento anterior clasificó al paciente en grado V,al presentar inyección cilio conjuntival, edema corneal, hifema de 3mm coagulado, sangre fresca y neovasos en todos los cuadrantes. Conclusiones: el paciente fue tratado con inyección de intravítrea de triamcinolona, con mejoría de los síntomas y signos


Rubeosis of iris is the most frequent and precocious of many vascular diseases of the posterior segment complication. Neovascularization management is divided into twoaspects: the treatment of the subjacent disease responsible for rubeosis and the treatment of intraocular pressure increase, if present. Objective: to demonstrate the effectiveness of atherapeutic option given by poor results of usual treatments for these complications. Clinical case: a patient with rubeosis of iridis associated with proliferative diabetic retinopathy ispresented; the patient was assessed through the best corrected visual acuity examination, biomiscroscopy of the anterior and posterior segment, indirect ophthalmoscopy, tonometry andgonioscopy. Classification of rubeosis of iridis was performed in degrees according to the number of quadrants affected by neovessels, grade I to grade IV, and grade V, when hyphemawas presented, besides neovessels in all quadrants. The ophthalmoscopic examination and the posterior segment biomicroscopy were disallowed by total opacity of the lens which preventeddetails of the fundus. The anterior segment biomicroscopy ranked patient in grade V, presenting cilioconjunctival injection, and corneal edema, hyphema of 3 mm coagulated, fresh blood andneovessel in all quadrants. Conclusions: the patient was treated with intravitreal triamcinolone injection with symptoms and signs improvement
