研究目的
To evaluate the changes in choroidal thickness and superficial vascular density of the macula and optic disc using optical coherence tomography angiography after laser photocoagulation.
研究成果
The vascular density of the macula increased temporarily after 1 week of treatment but decreased afterwards. The vascular density of the optic disc decreased after 1 week of laser treatment but increased over time. The subfoveal choroidal thickness increased after 1 week of laser treatment but decreased afterwards.
研究不足
The study was limited by its retrospective design, small sample size, and short follow-up period. Additionally, the study did not analyze deep capillary plexus density, central macular thickness, or foveal avascular zone, and did not include a control group of diabetic retinopathy patients who did not undergo panretinal photocoagulation.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
A retrospective chart review of 25 eyes of diabetic retinopathy patients who underwent panretinal photocoagulation. The macula and optic disc were divided into nine areas, and the vascular density of each area was quantitatively measured using optical coherence tomography angiography.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
25 eyes of diabetic retinopathy patients who underwent panretinal photocoagulation.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Optical coherence tomography angiography (Cirrus HD-OCT model 5000; Carl Zeiss Meditec, Inc., Dublin, CA, USA), Pascal Photocoagulator (OptiMedica, Santa Clara, CA, USA).
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The changes in vascular density and choroidal thickness were analyzed before laser photocoagulation and at 1 week after, 1 month after, and 3 months after treatment.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
The vascular density of each area was quantitatively measured using optical coherence tomography angiography.
