| الوصف: | Purpose—To compare the effects of single-sitting vs. four-sitting panretinal photocoagulation (PRP) on macular edema in subjects with severe non-proliferative or early proliferative diabetic retinopathy with relatively good visual acuity and no or mild center involved macular edema. Method—Subjects were treated with one sitting or 4 sittings of PRP in a non-randomized, prospective, multi-centered clinical trial. Main Outcome Measures—Central subfield thickness on optical coherence tomography (OCT). Results—Central subfield thickness was slightly greater in the 1 sitting group (n=84) than in the 4 sitting group (n=71) at the 3-day (P=0.01) and 4-week visits (P=0.003). At the 34-week primary outcome visit, the slight differences had reversed, with the thickness being slightly greater in the 4- sitting group than in the 1-sitting group (P=0.06). Visual acuity differences paralleled OCT differences. Conclusions—Our results suggest that clinically meaningful differences are unlikely in OCT thickness or visual acuity following application of PRP in 1 sitting compared with 4 sittings in subjects in this cohort. More definitive results would require a large randomized trial. Application to Clinical Practice—These results suggest PRP costs to some patients, in terms of travel and lost productivity, as well as to eye care providers, could be reduced. |
