Diabetic Retinopathy

Routine clinical practice for use of intravitreal aflibercept treatment in patients with diabetic macular edema

Trial purpose

The main objectives of this observational study were to describe outcomes, monitoring and treatment patterns of patients with diabetic macular edema in routine clinical practice who are either treatment naïve patients or previously treated patients. The total study population was evaluated as well as the two subgroups (previously treated patients and treatment naïve patients).
This study was designated to answer French Health Authority (HAS Haute Autorité de Santé) requirements.
