Consensus Nomenclature for Reporting Neovascular Age-Related Macular Degeneration Data: Consensus on Neovascular Age-Related Macular Degeneration Nomenclature Study Group

摘要: Purpose To establish a process to evaluate and standardize state-of-the-art nomenclature for reporting neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD) data. Design Consensus meeting. Participants An international panel of retina specialists, imaging image reading center experts, ocular pathologists. Methods During several meetings organized under the auspices Macula Society, an study group discussed codified set framework classifying subtypes AMD associated lesion components. Main Outcome Measures A consensus classification AMD. Results The created standardized working definition components were defined subclassified. Disease consequences neovascularization delineated. Conclusions system, AMD, delineation developed. Establishing uniform definitions will facilitate comparison diverse patient groups different studies. presented is modified updated readily, processes that are anticipated occur on periodic basis. suggests standards outlined in this article be used future reported studies clinical practice.
