Abstract

INTRODUCTION: BRVO IS AN IMPORTANT CAUSE OF BLINDNESS BUT VERY FEW STUDIES HAVE BEEN CONDUCTED WITH A LARGE DATABASE ON BRVO. WE STUDIED IF THE FINAL VISUAL OUTCOME IS INFLUENCED BY CMT AT PRESENTATION.

METHOD: WE DID A RETROSPECTIVE COHORT ANALYSIS OF PATIENTS OF BRVO OF LAST FIVE YEARS. ALL EYES WERE TREATED WITH MEDICAL AND LASER THERAPY. WE CREATED A FORMAT AND RETRIEVED DATA FROM EMR AND ANALYSED WITH SPSS 22. DESCRIPTIVE AND CROSS TABULATION METHOD USED FOR ANALYSES. P VALUE <0.05 CONSIDERED STASTICALLY SIGNIFICANT. RESULT:OUR COHORT CONSISTED 155 EYES OF 152 PATIENTS 53.3%,46.7% M:F,MEAN AGE 57.4 YEARS,ON PRESENTATION 33.7% HAD VISION >6/24 AND 41.1 % HAD VISION < 3/60. MEAN CMT ON PRESENTATION WAS 297 AND MEAN RFNL ON PRESENTATION WAS 78. WE FOUND CMT AT PRESENTATION HAS A SIGNIFICANT IMPACT ON VISUAL OUTCOME BUT RFNL THICKNESS DOES NOT.(P=0.02 P=0.6) CONCLUSION: CMT VALUE ON PRESENTATION HAS SIGNIFICANT IMPACT ON VISUAL OUTCOME FOLLOWING MANAGEMENT OF BRVO [advanced_iframe src="https://view.officeapps.live.com/op/embed.aspx?src=https://aiosproceedings.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/2021/E-Poster/FP351.pptx" width="100%" height="608"]
