Loss to Follow-Up in Patients with Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy after Panretinal Photocoagulation or Intravitreal Anti-VEGF Injections

Loss to follow-up (LTFU) may contribute to vision loss in patients with active proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR). The aim of this study is to determine and compare the rates of LTFU in patients with PDR receiving panretinal photocoagulation (PRP) or intravitreal injections (IVIs) with anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) over approximately 4 years. Moreover, this study evaluates various risk factors for LTFU.
