| Abstract |
To evaluate the structural changes associated with visual acuity (VA) in patients with idiopathic macular telangiectasia (MT) type 1 using multimodal imaging modalities. A retrospective study of 14 patients with MT type 1 and of 10 eyes from 10 healthy individuals as age-matched controls was conducted. The medical records of patients who had undergone colour fundus photography, spectral domain optical coherence tomography (OCT), fluorescein angiography and OCT angiography were reviewed. Central macular thickness (CMT), the areas of macular oedema and ellipsoid zone (EZ) disruption, EZ length, disorganization of the retinal inner layers (DRIL) and external limiting membrane (ELM) disruption, as measured by spectral domain OCT; and vascular density and the foveal avascular zones (FAZ) of the superficial capillary plexus (SCP) and deep capillary plexus (DCP), as measured by OCT angiography, were assessed in MT type 1 eyes and correlated with VA. The mean baseline best-corrected VA of MT type 1 eyes was 0.45 ± 0.28. The mean CMT was 385.19 ± 75.21 μm in MT type 1 eyes and 252.43 ± 15.77 μm in contralateral eyes (Z = - 4.113, p < 0.001). The mean vessel density of the DCP was lower in MT type 1 eyes (47.25 ± 4.69%) than in contralateral eyes (53.93 ± 2.94%) and normal eyes (59.37 ± 2.50%) (Z = - 3.492, - 4.099; p < 0.001, < 0.001). The baseline logMAR VA was correlated with CMT (r = 0.682, p = 0.007), SCP density (r = - 0.652, p = 0.012), DCP density (r = - 0.700, p = 0.005), total area of EZ disruption (r = 0.649, p = 0.012); and total lengths of EZ (r = 0.681, p = 0.007), ELM (r = 0.699, p = 0.005) and DRIL (r = 0.707, p = 0.005) disruption in the 1-mm-diameter foveal region in MT type 1 eyes. Decreased DCP density and the presence of DRIL may be predictive biomarkers of VA in MT type 1. CMT, SCP density, total area of EZ disruption, and lengths of EZ and ELM disruption within the 1-mm-diameter central region were strongly associated with VA. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 28 March 2018.
All research outputs
#20,472,403
of 23,031,582 outputs
Outputs from BMC Ophthalmology
#2,150
of 2,409 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#293,438
of 332,024 outputs
Outputs of similar age from BMC Ophthalmology
#29
of 36 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,031,582 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,409 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 2.7. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 332,024 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 36 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
