RESUMEN
Objetivo Evaluar el impacto en la calidad de vida (CdV) entre diferentes enfermedades de la retina como el edema macular diabético (EMD), la oclusión venosa retiniana (OVR), la miopía patológica (MP), la degeneración macular asociada a la edad neovascular (DMAEn) y la coriorretinopatía serosa central (CSC). Métodos Se realizó un estudio transversal en 241 pacientes afectados de EMD (n=44), OVR (n=41), MP (n=34) y DMAEn (n=85) que recibieron inyecciones intravítreas por presencia de edema macular o neovascularización. Los pacientes con CSC incluidos (n=37) eran candidatos a tratamiento con láser. Los pacientes completaron el National Eye Visual Functioning Questioning-25 (NEIVFQ-25). Se registró la mejor agudeza visual corregida (MAVC). Resultados Existieron diferencias significativas entre subgrupos para todos los dominios, excepto para la visión general, en la que todas las puntuaciones entre enfermedades oscilaron entre 40,7 y 45,2 sobre 100 (p=0,436), a pesar de la diferencia en MAVC (CSC: 86,3±11,9; OVR: 78,5±15,5; EMD: 73,3±15,2; DMAEn: 72,9±12,6 y MP: 68,5±18,1 letras, respectivamente (p<0,001). La puntuación total más baja se observó en la MP (52,1±20,9), seguida de DMAEn (55,3±20,8), OVR (65,0±22,3), EMD (68,6±21,0) y CSC (70,9±16,2). El grupo con EMD tuvo la peor puntuación para la salud general (38,9±21,4). La salud mental y las dificultades de rol fueron más bajas en la MP (48,2±28,8 y 48,2±31,9, p<0,007). Conclusiones Este estudio revela las diferencias en la CdV entre EMD, OVR, DMAEn, MP y CSC, describiendo las diferentes repercusiones que pueden sufrir, observándose un mayor impacto en la MP y la DMAEn (AU)
Purpose To assess the impact on the quality of life (QoL) among different retinal diseases such as diabetic macular edema (DME), retinal vein occlusion (RVO), pathologic myopia (PM), neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) and central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC). Methods A cross-sectional study was carried out in 241 patients, affected by DME (n=44), RVO (n=41), PM (n=34) and nAMD (n=85) receiving intravitreal injections due to the presence of macular edema or choroidal neovascularization. The CSC patients included (n=37) were candidates for laser treatment. The patients included completed the National Eye Visual Functioning Questioning-25 (NEIVFQ-25). Best eye visual acuity (BEVA) was recorded using the Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) scale. Results There were significant differences between subgroups for all the domains, except for the general vision in which all scores among diseases ranged from 40.7 to 45.2 out of 100 (P=.436), despite the difference in BEVA (CSC: 86.3±11.9; RVO: 78.5±15.5, DME: 73.3±15.2, nAMD: 72.9±12.6 and PM: 68.5±18.1 letters, respectively; P<.001). The lowest VFQ-25 total score was observed in the PM patients (52.1±20.9), followed by nAMD (55.3±20.8), RVO (65.0±22.3), DME (68.6±21.0) and CSC (70.9±16.2). The DME group reported the worst score for general health (38.9±21.4). Mental health and role difficulties were lowest for PM (48.2±28.8 and 48.2±31.9, P<.007). Conclusions This study reveals the differences in the QoL among DME, RVO, nAMD, PM and CSC, describing the different repercussions that they can suffer, observing a higher impact in PM and nAMD (AU)

PURPOSE: To assess the vision-related quality of life and the depression and anxiety rates in patients with neovascular Age-Related Macular Degeneration (nAMD). METHODS: A cross-sectional study of patients with nAMD treated with intravitreal injections was performed. The patients completed two validated questionnaires: the Visual Functioning Questionnaire (VFQ-25, score from 0 to 100), and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) questionnaire. Age, gender and visual acuity (VA) in the Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) scale was registered. RESULTS: Fifty-five patients with nAMD participated with a mean age of 80.9 ± 6.6 years-old (range 67-93) and a mean VA in the best eye of 73.5 ± 12.7 letters (range 44-95). The global VFQ-25 mean score was 57.4 ± 21.9 being 38.9 ± 13.2 for the general vision and 42.0 ± 19.5 for the general health. VA in the best eye was associated with the global score of the VFQ-25 scale (R = 0.608; P < .001), but no correlation was observed with general health (P = .936). In the HADS scale, 26.9% and 25.5% of patients had symptoms of depression and anxiety respectively. A negative correlation was found between the HADS and VFQ-25 scales for the general vision score (R = -0.438). CONCLUSION: This study elucidates the impact of vision impairment and the visual functioning in nAMD, describing an important rate of depression and anxiety symptoms.

Propósito Evaluar la calidad de vida relacionada con la visión, así como la presecia de síntomas de depresión y ansiedad en los pacientes con degeneración macular asociada a la edad neovascular (DMAEn). Métodos Se realizó un estudio transversal de pacientes con DMAEn en tratamiento con inyecciones intravítreas de antiangiogénicos. Los pacientes realizaron 2 cuestionarios validados: el cuestionario de función visual (VFQ-25, cuya puntuación varía de 0 a 100) y la Escala hospitalaria de ansiedad y depresión (HADS). Se registraron la edad, el sexo y la agudeza visual (AV) en la escala Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study. Resultado Se incluyeron 55 pacientes con DMAEn con una edad de 80,9±6,6 años (rango 67 a 93) y una AV en el mejor ojo de 73,5±12,7 letras (rango 44 a 95). La puntuación global media en el VFQ-25 fue de 57,4±21,9, siendo 38,9±13,2 para la visión general y 42,0±19,5 para la salud general. La AV se correlacionó con la puntuación global de la escala VFQ-25 (R=0,608; p<0,001), pero no con la salud general (p=0,936). Mediante la escala HADS se detectó un 27,2% y un 25,5% de pacientes con síntomas de depresión y ansiedad respectivamente. Se observó una correlación negativa entre las puntuaciones del HADS y VFQ-25 para el dominio de visión general (R=0,438). Conclusiones Este estudio muestra el impacto en la calidad de vida y función visual en los pacientes con DMAE neovascular, presentando en un porcentaje considerable de los casos síntomas de depresión y ansiedad (AU)
