    Abstract:

    AIM: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of different Conbercept treatment on diabetic macular edema(DME)with 3+PRN and 5+PRN.

    METHODS: Retrospective case-control study. A total of 51 patients(92 eyes)with DME who were treated in our hospital during December 2019 and June 2020 were included, and they were divided into 3+PRN group with 26 cases(48 eyes)and 5+PRN group with 25 cases(44 eyes). All patients received monthly follow-up for 12mo and the changes of best-corrected visual acuity(BCVA)and central macular thickness(CMT), the number of intravitreal injections and the occurrence of complications were compared and observed in the two groups.

    RESULTS:After follow-up for 12mo, there was no difference in the average injection times between the 3+PRN group and the 5+PRN group(7.24±0.91 times vs. 7.56±1.04 times, P=0.117). The BCVA and CMT of the two groups improved at 3, 6, 9, and 12mo after treatment compared with those before treatment(all P<0.05), and the BCVA and CMT of the 5+PRN group were better than those of the 3+PRN group at 6, 9, and 12mo after treatment(all P<0.05). During the follow-up period, no serious adverse events occurred in the two groups of patients, and the total incidence of ocular adverse events in the two groups was 27%. All adverse events were improved after symptomatic treatment.

    CONCLUSION: Both the 3+PRN and 5+PRN treatment strategy of Conbercept can treat DME safely and effectively, the total times of injection were comparable. However, the BCVA and CMT improved more in the 5+PRN group than that in 3+PRN group.
