Abstract Objective: To assess the effectiveness of intravitreal ranibizumab for neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD) in a tertiary care retina practice and compare these results with published efficacy data from randomized clinical trials. Design: Nonrandomized, consecutive, single-centre, retrospective chart review analysis. Participants: Ninety-four patients (95 eyes) with neovascular AMD. Methods: All treatment-naïve patients with neovascular AMD who received ranibizumab and for whom 1 year of follow-up was available were included in the analysis. The following information was gathered from each patient's chart: age, sex, ocular history, treated eye, duration of symptoms at presentation, subtype of choroidal neovascular membrane, Snellen visual acuity at each visit, number of injections, visits, and optical coherence tomography measurements. Results: Subjects had a mean age of 81 (SD 7.11) years. The mean number of injections was 5.1 (SD 2.85) with a mean of 9.4 (SD 2.27) visits in the 12-month period. Overall, there was a gain of 2.88 (SD 24.6) letters in all eyes, and a loss of 2.5 (SD 23.1) letters in patients who met the visual acuity inclusion criteria for the clinical trials. Of the patients who met the inclusion criteria, 75% lost fewer than 15 letters and 11% gained more than 15 letters. Conclusions: Visual outcomes in our study patients compared poorly with the clinical trials. Possibilities for the disparity include gaps in the number and frequency of follow-up visits, patient or doctor assessment fatigue, or gaps in optical coherence tomography utilization and the number of injections administered. Objet: Évaluation de l’efficacité du ranibizumab pour la dégénérescence maculaire liée à l’âge (DMLA) en clinique de soins tertiaires et comparaison de ces résultats avec les données d’efficacité publiées lors d’essais cliniques randomisés. Nature: Examen et analyse rétrospective, unicentrique, non randomisée et consécutive des dossiers. Participants: Quatre-vingt-quatorze patients (95 yeux) atteints de DMLA néovasculaire. Méthodes: Les patients atteints de DMLA compris dans l’analyse n’avaient jamais été traités auparavant. Ils ont reçu du ranibizumab et eu un suivi d’un an. L’information qui suit a été puisée dans le dossier de chaque patient: âge, sexe, antécédents oculaires, œil traité, durée des symptômes à la présentation, sous-type de membrane néovasculaire choroïdienne, acuité visuelle selon Snellen à chaque visite, nombre d’injections, visites et mesures tomographique par cohérence optique. Résultats: La moyenne d’âge des sujets était de 81 ans (ÉT, 7,11). La moyenne du nombre d’injections était de 5,1 (ÉT, 2,85) avec une moyenne de 9,4 visites (ÉT, 2,27) sur une période de 12 mois. En tout, il y eut un gain de 2,88 lettres (ÉT, 24,6) dans tous les yeux, et une perte de 2,5 lettres (ÉT, 23,1) chez les patients qui avaient satisfait aux critères d’inclusion touchant l’acuité visuelle lors des essais cliniques. Parmi les patients qui avaient satisfait aux critères, 75 % avaient perdu moins de 15 lettres et 11 % avaient gagné plus de 15 lettres. Conclusions: Les résultats visuels des patients de notre étude se comparaient pauvrement aux essais cliniques. Les possibilités de disparité comprenaient des lacunes dans le nombre et la fréquence des visites de suivi, l’évaluation de la fatigue du patient ou du médecin, ou des lacunes dans l’utilisation de la tomographie par cohérence optique et le nombre d’injections administrées.
