Efficacy of intravitreal faricimab therapy for polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV) is an aneurismal type of macular neovascularization that show similarities with age-related macular degeneration and diseases that are part of the pachychoroid disease spectrum. Exudative changes in PCV can be treated with intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor monotherapy; however, a combination therapy with photodynamic therapy may be required. In this systematic review and meta-analysis, we evaluated the efficacy of faricimab for PCV.

Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is the most common complication in patients with diabetes, and screening for sight-threatening end-stages is indicated to avoid severe visual loss. Screening of DR is nationally implemented in Denmark according to evidence-based national guidelines, which includes the use of individualised screening intervals. Treatment is indicated for proliferative DR and diabetic macular oedema, and treatment modalities include retinal laser therapy, intravitreal angiostatic therapy, and vitrectomy.

Association of continuous subcutaneous insulin therapy and diabetic retinopathy in type 1 diabetes: A national cohort study.

Aim: This study aimed to investigate the short-and long-term effect on diabetic retinopathy (DR) in individuals with type 1 diabetes treated with continuous subcutaneous insulin injections (CSII) compared to those using multiple daily injections (MDI).

Methods: We conducted a register-based matched cohort study utilizing data from the Danish Registry of Diabetic Retinopathy as well as several other national Danish health registers. Our cohort consisted of all individuals with type 1 diabetes who attended the Danish screening program for DR from 2013 to 2022.

Presence and development of diabetic retinopathy in 16 999 patients with type 1 diabetes in the Danish Registry of Diabetic Retinopathy.

Purpose: To evaluate the five-year incidence of diabetic retinopathy (DR) and associated risk markers in patients with type 1 diabetes in the national Danish DR-screening programme.

Methods: Based on national data, we included all 16 999 patients with type 1 diabetes in the Danish Registry of Diabetic Retinopathy, who attended the national screening programme in the period 2013-2018. According to the worse eye at first screening, DR was classified (levels 0-4) and linked with various national health registries to retrieve information on diabetes duration, systemic comorbidity, and medication.

Injection burden and treatment intervals of aflibercept in observe-and-plan regimen for neovascular age-related macular degeneration.

Purpose: The Observe-and-Plan (O&P) regimen allows for individualised treatment. In this study, we evaluated injection burden and intervals using aflibercept in an O&P regimen for eyes with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD).

Methods: This was a retrospective registry-based study of treatment-naïve eyes with neovascular AMD.
