A prospective randomised trial of different doses of intravitreal triamcinolone for diabetic macular oedema

Abstract: Objective: To compare the safety and efficacy of different doses of intravitreal triamcinolone (ivTA) in treating clinically significant diabetic macular oedema (CSMO). Methods: 63 eyes of 63 patients with CSMO and central foveal thickness (CFT) of >250 mm on optical coherence tomography were randomised to receive 4 mg (n = 23), 6 mg (n = 20) or 8 mg (n = 20) ivTA. Patients were followed up for 6 months, and changes in best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), optical coherence tomography CFT, standardised change i… Show more

“…The results suggest that the rate of cataract progression might not be increased by the higher dosage of triamcinolone within 6 months period. It is also consistent with the report by Lam et al 33 showing that the rate and degree of cataract progression was not different among the groups treated with different doses of intravitreal triamcinolone for diabetic macular oedema.…”

“…Essa variação ocorre em decorrência da dose do corticosteróide, do critério para hipertensão, do tempo de seguimento e da porcentagem de retratamento (19) . Com o aumento da dose utilizada, há uma maior incidência de hipertensão ocular (8,12,19) . No presente estudo, foram utilizados 4 mg e apenas uma injeção; quando se compara com trabalhos que fizeram uso da mesma concentração da droga encontram-se as seguintes incidências de HIO: 39% (8) ; 27,5% (19) ; 23% (20) ; 53,2% (21) e 44% (22) .…”

“…Um trabalho mostrou que 82,6% dos casos de HIO foram registrados nos primeiros três meses, sendo apenas 20,1% no primeiro mês (19) ; um outro descreveu que todos os casos se manifestaram nos primeiros três meses (20) . A HIO relatada no presente estudo foi de fácil controle com o uso de um único colírio hipotensor (maleato de timolol 0,5%), como preconiza a literatura (8,(19)(20)(21)23) . A causa da hipertensão se deve principalmente a uma diminuição da drenagem do humor aquoso em função de um remodelamento da malha trabecular e também a uma obstrução do trabeculado pelos cristais AT (14,19) .…”

“…Many clinical trials have been conducted to evaluate the efficacy of IVTA therapy for DME [18][19][20][21][22][23][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49][50][51][52] . IVTA has shown significant improvements in diabetic macular edema and visual acuity in the short term and found to be transient.…”
