Dependence of retinal morphofunctional parameters on submacular hemorrhage area

Objective: to analyze the morphofunctional parameters of the retina in submacular fracture of various areas on the background of age-related macular degeneration. A prospective study was conducted, which included 109 eyes (98 patients) divided into 3 groups of hemorrhages of different sizes. Results: Statistical analysis revealed significant differences between groups of patients with different areas of QMS in the ICOS between all pairs of groups: when comparing groups 1 and 2 (U = 1228, p<0.001), groups 2 and 3 (U = 1254, p<0.001), and 1Groups 2 and 3 (U = 1254, p<0.001). Correlation analysis using Spearman’s r-criterion revealed a strong inverse relationship between the area of the QMS and the indicators of the ICOS (rS = -0.81), as well as a strong positive relationship between the values of the CTS and the area of the QMS (rS = 0.85). Conclusion: The data obtained demonstrate that an increase in the area of submacular hemorrhage leads to a progressive deterioration in the functional state of the retina.
