Swept-source OCTA quantification of capillary closure predicts ETDRS severity staging of NPDR.
CONCLUSIONS: Retinal capillary closure, quantified by SS-OCTA, can identify NPDR severity progression. It is located mainly in the perifoveal retinal capillary circulation in the initial stages of NPDR, whereas the retinal midperiphery is predominantly affected in moderate-to-severe NPDR.
