Abstract
Key messages: What is known • Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) is widely used for autoimmune disorders but is associated with the risk of retinal toxicity. • Early detection of retinal structural changes due to HCQ toxicity remains challenging, and cumulative HCQ dose as a risk factor has conflicting clinical relevance. What Is New • Higher cumulative HCQ doses are significantly associated with thinner outer retinal layers (foveal, parafoveal, and perifoveal regions). • No significant associations were found between HCQ cumulative dose and inner retinal thickness or age.
期刊介绍:
Graefe''s Archive for Clinical and Experimental Ophthalmology is a distinguished international journal that presents original clinical reports and clini-cally relevant experimental studies. Founded in 1854 by Albrecht von Graefe to serve as a source of useful clinical information and a stimulus for discussion, the journal has published articles by leading ophthalmologists and vision research scientists for more than a century. With peer review by an international Editorial Board and prompt English-language publication, Graefe''s Archive provides rapid dissemination of clinical and clinically related experimental information.
