Аннотация

Диабетическая ретинопатия (ДР) является грозным осложнением течения сахарного диабета, ассоциированным с развитием диабетического макулярного отека (ДМО) и, как следствие, снижением остроты зрения. Основные патогенетические факторы развития ДМО – это воспаление и активация синтеза фактора роста сосудов (Vascular endothelial growth factor – VEGF). Подходы к лечению ДМО постоянно меняются. Известно, что значимого клинического результата при применении антивазопролиферативной терапии удается достигнуть отнюдь не у всех пациентов. Отсутствие или минимальный эффект от проводимого лечения наблюдается у пациентов с персистирующим течением ДМО, что привело к острой необходимости разработки новых протоколов лечения данной группы пациентов. В этом случае добавление интравитреального введения кортикостероидов в схему лечения может быть более эффективным и предсказуемым, чем монотерапия антивазопролиферативными препаратами. Согласно данным международных многоцентровых рандомизированных исследований, у пациентов, которые были переведены с антивазопро- лиферативной терапии на имплантат c дексаметатазоном, наблюдалось статистически достоверное улучшение как функциональных, так и анатомических параметров, что натолкнуло исследователей на мысль об эффективности комбинированного подхода к лечению данной группы пациентов. Важным вопросом также являются эффективность и безопасность интравитреального использования кортикостероидов в качестве терапии первой линии, а также определение четких показаний к их применению. Эти данные позволят определить роль раннего переключения пациентов с ДМО на интравитреальное введение имплантата дексаметазона в аспекте существующего на сегодняшний день алгоритма лечения. Задачей научного сообщества остается разработка оптимальных протоколов комбинированного подхода в лечении пациентов с ДМО, а также поиск критериев и сроков переключения пациентов с антивазопролиферативной терапии на интравитреальное введение имплантата дексаметазона в комплексе с лазерной коагуляцией сетчатки при необходимости.

Abstract

Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is the one of severe complications of diabetes, associated with macular edema (DME), which is the main course of visual acuity loss in diabetic patients. The main pathological factors in diabetic retinopathy and diabetic macular edema (DME) are the inflammation and increasing of vascular endothelium growth factor activity (VEGF). The treatment of DME remains challenging during the times. We know that not all eyes respond optimally to anti-VEGF therapy. No clinical effect or minimal one among patients with persistent DME has led to an urgent need to develop new treatment protocols for this group of patients. In this case adding intravitreal corticosteroids to the treatment regimen is the most effective and predictаble than continued anti-VEGF therapy alone. According to results of randomized trials the functional and anatomical outcomes in eyes with refractory DME, which were switched to DEX implant had shown statistically significant better outcome, compared to anti-VEGF therapy alone. Another important question is efficiency and safety of using intravitreal corticosteroids as the first-line therapy in patients with DME. These new findings can help to define better the role of early switch to DEX implant in the current treatment algorithm of eyes with refractory DME. And find the optimal protocol of treatment patients with DME, determine the predictors of switching from anti-VEGF therapy to steroid intravitreal injections, in DME should be on the agenda of the future studies.
