Association between the retinal vascular network, cardiovascular history and risk factors in the elderly

IF 3.157; International audience; PurposeTo identify patterns summarizing the retinal vascular network in the elderly and to investigate the relationship of these vascular patterns with cardiovascular history.MethodsWe conducted a population-based study, the Montrachet study (Maculopathy Optic Nerve nuTRition neurovAsCular and HEarT diseases), in participants older than 75 years. History of cardiovascular disease and a score-based estimation of their 10-year risk of cardiovascular mortality (Heart SCORE) were collected. Retinal vascular network analysis was performed by means of Singapore “I” Vessel Assessment (SIVA) software. Principal component analysis was used to condense the informatio…

Etat de la question L’objectif de cette etude nationale etait de rapporter l’incidence de l’endophtalmie postoperatoire aigue (EPOA) apres chirurgie maculaire en France entre 2006 et 2016 et d’identifier si le passage a la vitrectomie transconjonctivale en 2010–2011 etait associe a une modification du risque d’EPOA en France. Materiel et methodes Toutes les interventions chirurgicales pour membrane epiretinienne ou trou maculaire realisees en France entre janvier 2006 et octobre 2016 ont ete incluses a partir du PMSI. L’EPOA etait identifiee dans les 42 jours apres la chirurgie maculaire. Les effets du changement de technique (periode), des facteurs demographiques et cliniques sur la surven…

Manuscript no. 2016-1147 Supplemental material is available at www.aaojournal.org/; International audience; [u]Purpose:[/u] Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a frequent, complex disorder in elderly of European ancestry. Risk profiles and treatment options have changed considerably over the years, which may have affected disease prevalence and outcome. We determined the prevalence of early and late AMD in Europe from 1990 to 2013 using the European Eye Epidemiology (E3) consortium, and made projections for the future. [u]Design:[/u] Meta-analysis of prevalence data. [u]Participants:[/u] A total of 42 080 individuals 40 years of age and older participating in 14 population-based cohor…
