Lesion area progression in eyes with neovascular age-related macular degeneration treated using a proactive or a reactive regimen
© 2023. The Author(s)..
BACKGROUND: To compare the change in lesion area over 4 years of follow-up in eyes with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) treated with anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) agents using either a proactive or a reactive regimen in routine clinical practice.
METHODS: This was a multicentre, retrospective comparative study. Totally, 202 treatment-naïve nAMD eyes (183 patients) received anti-VEGF therapy according to a proactive (n = 105) or reactive (n = 97) regimen. Eyes were included if they had received anti-VEGF injections for a period of at least 4 years and had baseline fluorescein angiography and annual optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging. Two masked graders independently delineated the lesion's margins from serial OCT images and growth rates were calculated.
RESULTS: At baseline, the mean [SD] lesion area was 7.24 [5.6] mm2 in the proactive group and 6.33 [4.8] mm2 in the reactive group respectively (p = 0.22). After four years of treatment, the mean [SD] lesion area in the proactive group was 5.16 [4.5] mm2 showing a significant reduction compared to the baseline (p < 0.001). By contrast, the mean [SD] lesion area kept expanding in the reactive group during the follow-up and was 9.24 [6.0] mm2 at four years (p < 0.001). The lesion area at 4 years was significantly influenced by treatment regimen, baseline lesion area, and proportion of visits with active lesions.
CONCLUSIONS: Eyes treated using a reactive strategy had an increased lesion area and worse visual outcomes at 4 years. By contrast, the proactive regimen was associated with fewer recurrences of active disease, shrinkage of the lesion area, and better vision at four years.
