Best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) testing, imaging and treatment were performed at the investigators’ discretion and documented over 24 months.Results: Overall, 744 RVO patients (27% BRVO, 16% CRVO, remaining unspecified RVO) were included. For 74% of patients, data were available for the 12-month visit and for 56% for the 24-month visit. Mean baseline BCVA was 52.0 Early Treatment for Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) letters (BRVO: 55.9, CRVO: 43.9). BCVA improved rapidly within the first 3 months, reaching 64.3 letters at 12 months and 64.7 at 24 months. CRVO patients showed less improvement than those with BRVO. Patients received a median of 4 (5) injections over 12 (24) months, with 100% of patients receiving injections at baseline, 70% at Month 1 and 81% at Month 2. Overall, 40% of patients demonstrated a ≥15 letter increase within the first 3 months (42% BRVO, 46% CRVO). Patients with low initial BCVA (<50 letters) showed greater improvement than patients with higher baseline BCVA. Due to considerable loss to follow-up, the number of injections and optical coherence tomography (OCT) examinations were not associated with the change in BCVA.Conclusion: Patients with RVO in routine practice in Germany received fewer injections and fewer OCT examinations than in clinical trials. CRVO patients showed less and later improvement compared to BRVO patients.Keywords: retinal vein occlusion, RVO, macular edema, ranibizumab, anti-VEGF, real-worldCallizo JZiemssen FBertelmann TFeltgen NVögeler JKoch MEter NLiakopoulos SSchmitz-Valckenberg SSpital GDove Medical Pressarticleretinal vein occlusionrvomacular edemaranibizumabanti-vegfreal-worldOphthalmologyRE1-994ENClinical Ophthalmology, Vol Volume 13, Pp 2167-2179 (2019)
