Study also finds intraretinal fluid results in a fast-progressing disease, and these patients tend to be older at the time of diagnosis and remain on treatment for a shorter time.
Understanding these features may help disease diagnosis in Asian populations. Patients with the former subtype were significantly younger, predominantly male and had a slower progression rate.
Progression is positively associated with non-exudative subretinal fluid and hyperreflective material as well as iRORA. It’s negatively associated with retinal pseudocysts and subfoveal choroid thickness.
This approach could provide a more comprehensive understanding of disease-related changes and potentially aid in establishing appropriate care for patients.
