RESUMEN
Purpose: To analyse the differences between 30° blue autofluorescence (BAF30), 55° blue autofluorescence (BAF55) and 200° green Ultra-Wide Field autofluorescence (UWF200) imaging to detect retinal displacement (RD) after vitrectomy surgery for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD). Methods: This cross-sectional study considers forty-nine consecutive patients who underwent RRD surgery in the time period 4-8 months previous to image acquisition. The exclusion criteria contemplate previous retinal pathology, under 18-year-olds and non-assessable images in any of the 3 devices. These images were analysed by two masked graders that assessed either the presence or absence of retinal displacement. A third observer reviewed the images that presented discordance. Results: A total of forty-nine patients were analysed. 7 eyes were excluded due to poor quality in either of the imaging modalities. The final analysis included 42 eyes of forty-two patients with a mean age of 60.3 â± â11.9 years. All patients underwent a 3 port 23-gauge pars plana vitrectomy as the technique of choice. Any grade of RD was detectable in 45.2% of images. It was similar between BAF30 and UWF200 (42.9% of eyes). BAF55 showed RD to a lesser extent (38.1%). Agreement index between BAF30 and BAF55 was 0.901, 0.903 between BAF30 and UWF200 and 0.803 between BAF55 and UWF200. Kappa agreement index between graders was 0.775 for BAF30, 0.798 for BAF50 and 0.808 for UWF200 images. Conclusions: All imaging modalities were able to detect RD after vitrectomy for RRD, with no inferiority of BAF30 and BAF55 over UWF200.
