Abstract
Background: To compare the efficacy and safety of preoperative intravitreal injections of ranibizumab and conbercept in Chinese proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) patients.
Methods: This prospective randomized controlled trial enrolled 90 eyes of 80 patients with PDR. Forty-four eyes of 40 patients that received intravitreal ranibizumab (IVR) injections (0.5 mg/0.05 mL) before vitreous surgeries were assigned to the IVR group. Forty-six eyes of 40 patients that received intravitreal conbercept (IVC) injections (0.5 mg/0.05 mL) before vitreous surgeries were assigned to the IVC group. Intraoperative and postoperative indices were assessed for further comparison between the two groups.
Results: There were no statistically significant differences in all surgery indices, including intraoperative indices (surgery time, P = 0.225; intraoperative bleeding, P = 0.808; endodiathermy use, P = 0.693; incidence of iatrogenic retinal breaks, P = 0.740; relaxing retinotomy, P = 0.682; retinal reattachment, P = 0.682 and silicone oil tamponade, P = 0.814) and postoperative indices (postoperative vitreous hemorrhage (VH), P = 0.808; neovascular glaucoma (NVG), P = 0.964; recurrent retinal detachment, P = 0.531; postoperative fibrovascular proliferation progression, P = 0.682 and reoperation, P = 0.955) between the two groups. There were no statistically significant differences in best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) at each follow-up visit (P = 0.939, 0.669, 0.741 and 0.717, respectively) or in central retinal thickness (CRT) (P = 0.976, 0.699, 0.551 and 0.686, respectively). As for safety profile, both groups had no ocular or system adverse events during the observation period.
Conclusions: IVR and IVC as a pretreatment of vitrectomy had similar efficacy and safety profile for Chinese PDR patients.
