Visual outcomes and treatment adherence of patients with macular pathology using a mobile hyperacuity home-monitoring app: a matched-pair analysis by Livia Faes, Lucas M Bachmann, Martin K Schmid, Dawn A Sim, Michael A Thiel, Meriam Islam, Nico Gross, Andrew Schimel

“…Objective We compared patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nvAMD), diabetic macular oedema (DMO) and other macular pathologies testing their vision with the hyperacuity home-monitoring app Alleye to patients not performing home-monitoring regarding clinical outcomes and clinical management.Design Matched-pair analysis.Setting Retina Referral Centre, Switzerland.Participants For each eye using Alleye, we matched 2–4 controls not using home-monitoring based on age, gender, number of previous intravitreal injections (IVI), best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) (Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study letters), central macular thickness (CRT) and time point of enrolment, using the Mahalanobis distance matching algorithm. We included 514 eyes (288 patients); 107 eyes with nvAMD using home monitoring and 218 controls not using home monitoring, 25 eyes with DMO (n=52 controls) and 40 eyes with miscellaneous conditions (n=72 controls). 173 eyes (33.7%) received no IVI during follow-up.Main outcome measures Improvement of ≥5 letters, number of injection visits and treatment retention after correcting for differences in baseline characteristics with multivariate analyses.Results The mean follow-up duration was 809 days (range 147–1353) and the mean number of IVI/year among treated eyes was 6.7 (SD 3.1). …”
