| Abstract | Background This study aimed to compare the regressive effects of aflibercept and faricimab on pigment epithelial detachment (PED) in patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration. Methods In total, 41 eyes of 40 patients diagnosed with type 1 macular neovascularization were retrospectively analyzed using multimodal imaging. Of these, 23 eyes were treated with intravitreal aflibercept injections (IVA group), and 18 eyes were treated with intravitreal faricimab (IVFa group), with 3 consecutive injections administered as loading dose therapy. Before treatment and at 1, 2, and 3 months after the first treatment, the maximum height (MH) and maximum diameter (MD) of the PED were measured using optical coherence tomography in each treatment group. Results In the IVA group, the MH at baseline (215 ± 177 μm) was reduced to 141 ± 150 (P = 0.06), 119 ± 150 (P < 0.01), and 107 ± 150 µm (P < 0.0001) at 1, 2, and 3 months after treatment, respectively. Similarly, in the IVFa group, the MH decreased from 240 ± 195 µm before treatment to 165 ± 170 µm (P = 0.24), 139 ± 142 µm (P < 0.05), and 117 ± 112 µm (P < 0.01) at 1, 2, and 3 months after treatment, respectively. The reduction at 2 and 3 months was significant in both treatments. The mean changes of MH from baseline were -108 ± 142 µm in the IVA group and -124 ± 112 µm in the IVFa group, with no significant difference (P = 0.21). In both groups, the MD did not regress significantly. Conclusions The results suggested that the MH of the PED between the IVA and IVFa groups regressed similarly after each loading therapy. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
