Population-Based Prevalence and 5-Year Change of Soft Drusen, Pseudodrusen, and Pachydrusen in a Japanese Population

Purpose: To elucidate the prevalence of soft drusen, pseudodrusen, and pachydrusen and their 5-year changes in a Japanese population. Design: Longitudinal population-based cohort study conducted from 2013 through 2017. Participants: Residents 40 years of age or older. Methods: Nonmydriatic color fun...

Design: Longitudinal population-based cohort study conducted from 2013 through 2017. Participants: Residents 40 years of age or older. Methods: Nonmydriatic color fundus photographs were used to grade drusen subtypes and retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) abnormalities according to the Three Continent Age-Related Macular Degeneration Consortium. The 5-year changes of each drusen were investigated. Main Outcome Measures: The prevalence of each drusen subtype and the 5-year changes of each drusen. Results: Among 1731 participants, 1660 participants had gradable photographs that were assessed. The age-adjusted prevalence of soft drusen, pachydrusen, and pseudodrusen was 4.3% (95% confidence interval [CI], 3.2%–5.8%), 7.7% (95% CI, 6.2%–9.7%), and 2.8% (95% CI, 1.7%–4.2%), respectively. Pachydrusen accounted for 82.0% (n = 50) of the extramacular drusen (n = 61). Pigment abnormalities were seen in 28.3% and 8.3% of eyes with soft drusen and pachydrusen, respectively (P < 0.0001). Longitudinal changes were investigated in 1444 participants with follow-up examinations, which showed an increase in size in 8.3% and 3.7% and regression in 1.7% and 5.5% for eyes with soft drusen and pachydrusen, respectively. No participants demonstrated RPE atrophy after pachydrusen regression. Conclusions: The prevalence of pachydrusen was higher than that of soft drusen and pseudodrusen combined. Pachydrusen may regress over time and typically is not associated with RPE atrophy as detected using color fundus photographs.Miki Sato-Akushichi, MDReiko Kinouchi, MD, PhDSatoshi Ishiko, MD, PhDKazuomi Hanada, MD, PhDHiroki HayashiDaiki MikamiShinji Ono, MD, PhDYasuo Yanagi, MD, PhDElsevierarticleDrusen subtypesLongitudinal changesPachydrusenPopulation-based cohort studyOphthalmologyRE1-994ENOphthalmology Science, Vol 1, Iss 4, Pp 100081- (2021)
