Ophthalmic Surgery, Lasers and Imaging Jun 17, 2020
Mirzania D, Thomas AS, Rothman AL, et al. - Researchers examined how the presenting features, treatment patterns, and clinical outcomes in patients with central retinal vein occlusions (CRVO) differ by gender. In this retrospective, longitudinal cohort study of 476 patients diagnosed with CRVO over a 7-year period, males were noted to have lower average age at CRVO onset (63.8 years vs 66.1 years); had an ischemic CRVO more frequently at 12 months; had a greater central subfield thickness at the baseline (546.7 ± 306.8 μm vs 438.4 ± 252.9 μm) and final visits (343 ± 179.5 μm vs 304.6 ± 176.2 μm); and had foveal avascular zone enlargement (39/102, 38% vs 29/116, 25%). These findings support the existance of gender differences in presenting features of patients with CRVO.
