摘要 AIM:Toevaluatetheefficacyandsafetyofanti-vascularendothelialgrowthfactor(VEGF)combinedwithphotodynamictherapy(PDT)versusanti-VEGFmonotherapyforpolypoidalchoroidalvasculopathy(PCV).METHODS:WeconductedaMeta-analysisof9studiestocomparetheefficacyandsafetybetweencombinedtherapyandanti-VEGFmonotherapyforPCV.TheprogramsofRevMan5.3andStata12.0wereusedtoanalyzedata.RESULTS:Thebestcorrectedvisualacuity(BCVA)incombinedtherapygroupweresignificantlybetterthanthoseofanti-VEGFmonotherapygroupat6,24and36mo,withpooledweightedmeansdifferences(WMDs)of0.12(0.06,0.18),0.25(0.12,0.38)and0.28(0.13,0.43),respectively.Thecentralretinalthickness(CRT)reductionsincombinedtherapygroupwerehigherthanthatinantiVEGFmonotherapygroupat1,3,6and9mo,withpooledWMDsof63.90(20.41,107.38),33.47(4.69,62.24),30.57(0.12,60.01)and28.00(2.51,53.49),respectively.Theregressionrateofpolypsincombinedtherapygroupwasmuchhigherthanthatinanti-VEGFmonotherapygroup[RD:0.47(0.26,0.68);P<0.0001].Theadverseeventretinalhemorrhagedidnotdiffersignificantlybetweenthetwogroups.CONCLUSION:OurfindingsclearlydocumentthatantiVEGFcombinedwithPDTisamoreeffectivetherapyforPCVcomparedwithanti-VEGFmonotherapy.Furthermore,combinedtherapydoesnotincreasetheincidenceofretinalhemorrhage.
