dc.description.abstractPurpose: The aim of this study was to determine the natural course of vitreomacular traction (VMT) in patients with diabetic retinopathy and to evaluate the factors associated with VMT relief. Methods: Seventy-four eyes of 65 patients with VMT accompanying diabetic retinopathy were evaluated retrospectively. The presence of intravitreal injection and the presence of panretinal photocoagulation were obtained from the medical records of the patients. Spontaneous release of VMT, the horizontal length of vitreomacular traction, the presence of hyperreflective retinal spots, the presence of the epiretinal membrane, and the grade of VMT were evaluated from the spectral-domain optical coherence tomography images. Factors associated with the spontaneous release of VMT were evaluated by logistic regression analysis. Results: Spontaneous release was observed in 28 eyes (37.8%). The horizontal length of VMT was lower in the release of the VMT group compared with the persistent VMT group (P = 0.03). The persistent VMT group had a higher rate of hyperreflective retinal spots and epiretinal membrane compared with the release of the VMT group (respectively; P = 0.003 and P = 0.031). No statistically significant difference was observed between the release of VMT and persistent VMT groups in terms of intravitreal injection and panretinal photocoagulation treatment (respectively; P = 0.938 and P = 0.36). The absence of hyperreflective retinal spots was the most important prognostic factor for the spontaneous release of VMT (P = 0.029). Conclusion: Spontaneous release of VMT observed higher rates of patients without hyperreflective retinal spots, epiretinal membrane, and patients with lower horizontal length of VMT.en_US
