Projection-Resolved Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography Parameters to Determine Severity in Diabetic Retinopathy

Purpose : The purpose of this study was to assess projection-resolved optical coherence tomography angiography (PR-OCTA) vessel density (VD) and foveal avascular zone (FAZ) in determining severity within diabetic retinopathy (DR) and their accuracy in identifying high-risk DR patients. Methods : This was a retrospective study with 72 eyes of 52 DR patients, assessing the VD and FAZ area of the superficial capillary plexus (SCP) and deep vascular plexus (DVP), for both 3 × 3-mm and 6 × 6-mm scans between the DR groups (mild to moderate, severe and proliferative DR [PDR]). For accuracy, the severe and PDR groups were merged, representing the high-risk ...
