Objective:The purpose of our study was to determine the 4-year visual and anatomic outcomes of intravitreal aflibercept treatment for neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD) using a treat-and-extend (TAE) regimen.Methods:We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 39 patients with neovascular AMD who were treated continuously with intravitreal aflibercept injections using the TAE regimen for at least 4 years. The outcome measures were the best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and central macular thickness (CMT) on spectral-domain optical coherence tomography. The BCVAs were measured as decimal values and converted to the corresponding Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) letter scores for statistical analysis. The Wilcoxon signed-rank test was used to compare the differences in BCVAs and CMTs.Results:The mean ETDRS letter scores improved significantly from 63.9 at baseline to 70.4, 67.8, 67.2, and 67.3 at 1, 2, 3, and 4 years, respectively. The mean baseline CMT was 380 µm, which decreased significantly to 229, 231, 221, and 210 µm at 1, 2, 3, and 4 years, respectively. The mean numbers of injections were 7.9, 6.0, 5.5, and 5.4 at 1, 2, 3, and 4 years, respectively. The percentages of patients with a treatment interval of 12 weeks or more were 46.2%, 46.2%, 43.6%, and 46.2% at 1, 2, 3, and 4 years, respectively. At year 4, 30.8% of the patients had a treatment interval of 7 weeks or less, whereas 25.6% had 16 weeks or more.Conclusion:Intravitreal aflibercept TAE treatment may be an effective and efficient method for treating patients with neovascular AMD up to 4 years of follow-up. The TAE regimen is a potential tool to optimize appropriate treatment intervals, avoiding both undertreatment and overtreatment of neovascular AMD.
