What is Antivascular Endothelial Growth Factor Dosing Frequency and Visual Outcomes in Macular Edema Following Central Retinal Vein Occlusion about?
## Purpose: We evaluated the relationship between dosing frequency of intravitreal antivascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) agents and visual acuity (VA) outcomes over 2 years in eyes with macular edema (ME) secondary to central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO) in the US routine clinical practice setting. ## Methods: This retrospective analysis assessed electronic medical records of eyes with ME secondary to CRVO that received their first anti-VEGF injection January 1, 2012, to May 31, 2016, and were followed for 1 year or more in the US-based Vestrum Health Treatment and Outcomes database. Eyes were divided into 2 injection frequency subcohorts (≤6 or ≥7 injections/year). ## Results: Overall, 851 (34.6%) of 2458 eyes with ME secondary to CRVO received 6 or fewer injections, and 1607 (65.4%) received 7 or more injections through 1 year. The mean number of injections in patients receiving 6 or fewer injections and 7 or more injections was 4.7 and 8.8, respectively, and baseline mean VA was 35 and 37 letters, respectively. At year 1, mean letter gain from baseline was less in eyes receiving 6 or fewer injections vs in those receiving 7 or more injections (7.0 vs 12.2, __P__ <
