Influence of the Vitreomacular Interface on Outcomes of Ranibizumab Therapy in Neovascular Age-related Macular Degeneration – Corrected Proof
Purpose: To investigate the influence of the vitreomacular interface (VMI) on the functional and anatomic efficacy of ranibizumab therapy in patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD).Design: Subanalysis of a prospective, 12-month, multicenter, phase IIIb trial.Participants: A total of 353 treatment-naïve patients with subfoveal choroidal neovascularization (CNV) receiving quarterly or monthly ranibizumab therapy.Methods: On monthly optical coherence tomography (OCT) scan sets, the VMI configuration was graded by a certified reading center into one of the following conditions: continuous posterior vitreoretinal attachment (PVA), vitreomacular adhesion (VMA), partial vitreous detachment without vitreomacular contact, or complete posterior vitreous detachment (PVD).
