Incidence, Risk Factors and Outcomes of Submacular Hemorrhage with Loss of Vision in Neovascular Age-Related Macular Degeneration in Daily Clinical Practice: the Fight Retinal Blindness! Registry

To evaluate the proportion, baseline predictors, and outcomes of neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) patients treated with a high burden of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) inhibitor intravitreal injections (IVT) at two years in routine clinical practice. European retrospective data analysis from a prospectively designed observational outcomes registry: the Fight Retinal Blindness! (FRB!) Project. Treatment-naïve eyes (one eye per patient) initiating VEGF inhibitors IVT from January 2017 to March 2020 with 24 months of follow-up, a minimum of 3 injections, and no gap between visits exceeding 365 days were tracked in the registry. We analyzed three treatment burden (TB) groups defined by the mean interval of the three closest injections to the 24-month visit: (1) those with a high TB had injection interval ≤ 42 days, (2) those with a low TB had injection interval between >42 and
