About this study

Official title: Incidence and Risk Factors for Cystoid Macular Edema After Primary Vitrectomy With Gas Tamponade for Rhegmatogenous Retinal Detachment: a National Study Group

To investigate the incidence of cystoid macular edema in eyes with primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment successfully treated with vitrectomy with gas tamponade, and to evaluate the clinical variables associated with its development.

Read the detailed description

this is an observational, retrospective, multicentre study. The study is based on the retrospective collection of clinical data from patients undergoing gas tamponade vitrectomy for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment. The collection of such data by the investigators will take place at each participating center anonymously.

demographics, systemic, and preoperative, intraoperative and post-operative data will be collected The sample size was calculated to obtain approximately 200 patients with cystoid macular edema. Since cystoid macular edema has been detected in 13% of patients after retinal detachment gas vitrectomy, and assuming that this event can occur between 10% and 15% of cases, the study will include at least 2000 cases.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. incidence of cystoid macular edema

    cystoid macular edema assessed by OCT (central subfield thickness >310 micron, with presence of intraretinal cystic areas of low reflectivity in OPL) visual acuity

    Measured: from 1 month up to 6 months after surgery

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. factors related to development of macular edema

    demographics, systemic and ocular parameters

    Measured: from 1 month up to 6 months after surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cystoid Macular Edema, run by University of Catania at 6 sites in Italy.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 7 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 6 sites in Italy. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Antonio Longo, MD, PhD (+393460131548, antlongo@unict.it), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

incidence of cystoid macular edema (time frame: from 1 month up to 6 months after surgery). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT05069675, which also lists 3 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?
