Keynote webinar | Spotlight on sleep in brain health

LIVE: Thursday 2nd May 2024, 18:00-19:30 (CEST)

Quality sleep is essential for health. But what happens to our brains when sleep patterns are disturbed? Join our experts to explore the interplay between sleep disruption and neurological diseases, and the questions that you need to be asking your patients to help you prevent the harmful effects of sleep deprivation.

Abstract

Purpose

This study used spectral domain-optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) to evaluate individual retinal layer thickness in eyes with macula-off rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) treated with silicone oil (SiO) or gas endotamponades.

Study design

This was a retrospective, interventional, comparative study.

Methods

The study included 86 eyes of 43 patients who were divided into 3 groups according to endotamponades: SiO, perfluoropropane (C3F8), and sulfur hexafluoride (SF6). The affected eyes were compared with the fellow eyes of the same patient via SD-OCT automated segmentation analysis. Patients with a follow-up of at least 6 months were included in the final analysis. Macular segmentation including the retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL), ganglion cell layer (GCL), inner plexiform layer (IPL), inner nuclear layer (INL), outer plexiform layer (OPL), outer nuclear layer (ONL), retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), inner retinal layers (IRLs), and outer retinal layers (ORLs) was analyzed.

Results

In the SiO group, the mean thickness of each retinal layer including the RNFL, GCL, IPL, ONL, and IRLs within a 1-mm ETDRS subfield of the affected eyes was significantly lower than that of the fellow eyes (P = 0.036, P = 0.028, P = 0.003, P < 0.001, P = 0.013, respectively). There was no significant difference in the C3F8 and SF6 groups (all P > 0.05). The difference between the ONL and IRLs in the SiO-treated eyes differed significantly from that of the gas groups (P = 0.001 and P = 0.045, respectively) The difference in the GCL thickness of the affected eyes and healthy eyes showed a significant correlation with postoperative BCVA changes in the SiO, C3F8, and SF6 groups (P = 0.041, P = 0.048, and P = 0.045, respectively).

Conclusion

The findings of our study show that endotamponades used in RRD surgery may have different effects on retinal layers. In addition, SiO may cause undesirable effects on the retinal layers.
