Baseline clinical features predict visual outcome in young patients with central retinal vein occlusion
Graefe's Archive for Clinical and Experimental Ophthalmology Apr 17, 2020
Koh YY, Lai CC, Wu WC, et al. - Researchers conducted this retrospective case series to assess prognostic factors in young patients with central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO). Participants in the study were CRVO patients aged ≤ 50 and follow-up ≥ 6 months. The best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and central retinal thickness (CRT) at baseline, 3 months, 6 months, and last visit have been documented. The sample consisted of 69 patients (73 eyes) with mean age was 37.6 ± 8.5. Data reported that LogMAR BCVA improved from 0.979 ± 0.785 at baseline to 0.594 ± 0.748 at the 6 months and CRT improved from 475 ± 222 μm to 299 ± 104 μm. The independent factors associated with visual outcome at 6 months were the baseline BCVA, grade of retinal hemorrhage, grade of retinal venous engorgement, grade of optic disc edema, and diabetes mellitus. Baseline clinical features in young CRVO patients are useful for the estimation of visual outcome at 6 months.
