摘要

Purpose

To identify predictors for visual outcomes of eyes with submacular hemorrhage (SMH) secondary to neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD).

Study Design

Retrospective observational study.

Methods

Clinical data from patients diagnosed with SMH secondary to nAMD and treated with pneumatic displacement were collected. SMH thickness was measured by optical coherence tomography (OCT) at baseline and 1 week. Possible factors associated with best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) gain at 3 months were analyzed.

Results

Fifty-six eyes of 56 patients (18 female/38 male; mean age, 77.8 ± 10.1 years) were analyzed; 34 were treatment-naïve and 22 were previously treated with anti-vascular endothelial growth factor agents. Multivariable analysis showed that greater BCVA gain more than 0.3 logMAR at 3 months post-treatment was associated with being treatment-naïve (odds ratio [OR], 34.30; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.38–851.91; P = 0.031), thinner SMH thickness at 1 week after pneumatic displacement (OR, 0.38 per 50-unit increase; CI, 0.18–0.80; P = 0.011), and worse baseline BCVA (OR, 2.58 per 0.1-unit increase; CI, 1.31–5.07; P = 0.006), but not associated with age (OR, 0.50; 95% CI, 0.24–1.06), the time from onset to pneumatic displacement (OR, 1.04; 95%CI, 0.87–1.23), SMH thickness at baseline (OR, 0.92; 95%CI, 0.63–1.36), and the presence of subfoveal hemorrhagic PED (OR, 0.72; 95%CI, 0.08–6.84).

Conclusion

This study identifies novel factors predictive of visual outcomes for pneumatic displacement for SMH due to nAMD. The presence of residual SMH at 1 week following unsuccessful pneumatic displacement may warrant further intervention.
