目的:探讨光学相干断层扫描血管成像(optical coherence tomography angiography,OCTA)扫描信号强度对视盘周围血管密度的影响。方法:本研究为单中心横断面研究,所有受试者分别接受了身高、体重、血压、眼压、眼轴及视盘OCTA检查,利用广义估计方程分析OCTA扫描信号强度对视盘周围血管密度的影响。结果:共186人359眼纳入本研究,年龄为(47.86±17.86)岁,视盘周围血管密度为(17.75±1.99)mm?1 。单因素分析显示视盘周围血管密度与眼轴呈负相关(β=?0.5120,P<0.001),与扫描信号强度呈正相关(β=1.0240,P<0.001)。在校正了年龄、性别、视盘面积及眼轴后的多因素分析中,OCTA扫描信号强度依然与视盘周围血管密度显著正相关(β=0.9721,P<0.001)。结论:视盘周围血管密度不仅与眼轴和视盘面积显著负相关,而且与OCTA扫描信号强度显著正相关,在临床应用或研究中,需要考虑其影响。
Objective: To explore the effect of scanning signal intensity on the peripapillary vessel density measured by optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA). Methods: This study was a single-center cross-sectional study. All the participants received comprehensive examinations including height, weight, blood pressure,intraocular pressure, axial length, and OCTA scan of the optic disc. The effect of OCTA scanning signal intensity on the peripapillary vessel density was analyzed using the generalized estimation equation. Results: A total of 186 participants with 359 eyes were included in this study. The mean age of all the participants was (47.86±17.86)years old, and the average peripapillary vessel density was (17.75±1.99)mm?1. In a univariate analysis,peripapillary vessel density was associated with the axial length (β=?0.5120, P<0.001) and the scanning signal intensity (β=1.0240, P<0.001). After adjusting for age, gender, axial length, and optic disc area in the multivariate analysis, the OCTA scanning signal intensity was still significantly associated with the peripapillary vessel density (β=0.9721, P<0.001). Conclusion: The peripapillary vessel density is significantly negatively associated with the axial length and optic disc area, significantly positively associated with the scanning signal intensity. In clinical practice, the influence needs to be considered.
