Assessment of central retinal thickness, choroidal thickness, and retinal nerve fiber layer in psoriasis: A spectral-domain optical coherence tomography study
BMC Ophthalmology May 31, 2021
Sahin AK, et al. - Researchers conducted this cross-sectional study to assess choroidal thickness (CT), retinal thickness, ganglion cell-inner plexiform layer (GCIPL), and retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) structures in psoriasis patients utilizing optical coherence tomography (OCT). Participants in the study were 33 psoriasis patients and 33 healthy individuals. Patients with psoriasis who did not get any systemic anti-inflammatory treatment were also assessed. Data reported that the mean psoriasis area and severity index (PASI) score was 5.70. In psoriasis patients with a mild to moderate mean PASI score, no significant alterations in CT, ganglion cell layer, RNFL, or retinal thickness values were seen.
