Choriocapillaris perfusion assessed using swept source optical coherence tomographic angiography and the severity of diabetic retinopathy
Aims: To investigate the relationship between choriocapillaris (CC) blood perfusion and the severity of diabetic retinopathy (DR) using swept-source optical coherence tomography angiography (SS-OCTA). Methods: Type 2 diabetes mellitus in the Guangzhou was recruited. DR was graded according to the standardised seven-field colour retinal images adhering to the ETDRS scale. CC perfusion was quantified by evaluating the flow deficit (FD) density, FD number and FD size using SS-OCTA. Multivariable linear regressions were used to evaluate the correlation between CC FD metrics and DR severity. Results: A total of 1692 patients (eyes) were included in the final analysis. Participants with DR ...
