Brief summary

To determine the influence of phacoemulsification on choroidal vasculature in patients with diabetic retinopathy (DR) undergoing cataract surgery

Detailed description

To determine the influence of phacoemulsification on choroidal vasculature in patients with diabetic retinopathy (DR) undergoing cataract surgery through the follow-up of choroidal thickness (CT) and choroidal vascularity index (CVI) using swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) system.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
VD at 3 months postoperativelyVD of the choriocapillaris was assessed 3 months after surgery.VD of the choriocapillaris was the vessel density of the choriocapillaris in the choroid
CT at 1 week postoperativelyCT was assessed at 1 week after surgery.Choroid thickness (CT) was the thickness of the choroidal layer; CT values were obtained with the built-in software of the SS-OCT device.
CT at 1 month postoperativelyCT was assessed at 1 month after surgery.Choroid thickness (CT) was the thickness of the choroidal layer; CT values were obtained with the built-in software of the SS-OCT device.
CT at 3 months postoperativelyCT was assessed at 3 months after surgery.Choroid thickness (CT) was the thickness of the choroidal layer, CT values were obtained with the built-in software of the SS-OCT device.
VD at baselineVD of the choriocapillaris was assessed at baseline.VD of the choriocapillaris was the vessel density of the choriocapillaris in the choroid.
VD at 1 week postoperativelyVD of the choriocapillaris was assessed 1 week after surgery.VD of the choriocapillaris was the vessel density of the choriocapillaris in the choroid.
VD at 1 month postoperativelyVD of the choriocapillaris was assessed 1 month after surgery.VD of the choriocapillaris was the vessel density of the choriocapillaris in the choroid.
CVI at baselineCVI was assessed at baseline(within 1 week before surgery)choroidal vascularity index(CVI) was defined as the proportion of vascular area to total circumscribed area.
CVI at 1 week postoperativelyCVI was assessed 1 week after surgery.choroidal vascularity index (CVI) was defined as the proportion of vascular area to total circumscribed area.
CVI at 1 month postoperativelyCVI was assessed 1 month after surgery.choroidal vascularity index (CVI) was defined as the proportion of vascular area to total circumscribed area.
CVI at 3 months postoperativelyCVI was assessed 3 months after surgery.choroidal vascularity index (CVI)was defined as the proportion of vascular area to total circumscribed area.
CT at baselineCT was assessed at baseline and 1 week, 1 month, 3 month after surgery.Choroid thickness (CT) was the thickness of the choroidal layer; CT values were obtained with the built-in software of the SS-OCT device.
