Abstract:Optical coherence tomography (OCT) enables the detection of macular edema, a significant pathological outcome of diabetic retinopathy (DR). The aim of the study was to correlate edema volume with the severity of diabetic retinopathy and response to treatment with intravitreal injections (compared to baseline). Diabetic retinopathy (DR; n = 181) eyes were imaged with OCT (Heidelberg Engineering, Germany). They were grouped as responders (a decrease in thickness after intravitreal injection of Bevacizumab), non-… Show more
“…The edema volume correlated with diabetic retinopathy severity and predicted the response to intravitreal treatment. Edema volume increased with disease severity and was the best predictor for response to treatment [7].…”

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
