Changes in retinal multilayer thickness and vascular network of patients with Alzheimer s disease |pdf=|usr=}}{{34602087}} gab.com Text Changes in retinal multilayer thickness and vascular network of patients with Alzheimer s disease JO: Biomed Eng Online http://www.kidney.de/pget.php?&tw=1&pmid=34602087 #FOAvip BACKGROUND: Retinal biomarkers of Alzheimer's disease (AD) have been extensively investigated in recent decades. Retinal nervous and vascular parameters can reflect brain conditions, and they can facilitate early diagnosis of AD. OBJECTIVE: Our study aimed to evaluate the difference in retinal neuro-layer thickness and vascular parameters of patients with AD and healthy controls (HCs). METHODS: Non-invasive optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) was used to determine the combined thickness of the retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) and ganglion cell layer (GCL), as well as the full retinal thickness (FRT). The vascular branching (VB), vascular curvature (VC), and vascular density (VD) for AD and HC groups were also obtained. The Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) was used to evaluate the cognitive performance of all the participants. After obtaining all the parameters, two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to compare the mean values of all the retinal parameters of the patients with AD and the HCs. Pearson's correlation was used to test the association between retinal parameters, MMSE scores, and vascular parameters. RESULTS: Seventy-eight eyes from 39 participants (19 AD and 20 HC; male, 52.6% in AD and 45.0% in HC; mean [standard deviation] age of 73.79 [7.22] years in AD and 74.35 [6.07] years in HC) were included for the analysis. The average RNFL + GCL thickness (106.32 +/- 7.34 mum), FRTs of the four quadrants (290.35 +/- 13.05 mum of inferior quadrant, 294.68 +/- 9.37 mum of superior quadrant, 302.97 +/- 6.52 mum of nasal quadrant, 286.02 +/- 13.74 mum of temporal quadrant), and retinal VD (0.0148 +/- 0.003) of patients with AD, compared with the HCs, were significantly reduced (p < 0.05). Retinal thickness was significantly correlated with the MMSE scores (p < 0.05). Meanwhile, retinal VD was significantly correlated with the average RNFL + GCL thickness (r(2) = 0.2146, p < 0.01). When the vascular parameters were considered, the sensitivity of the AD diagnosis was increased from 0.874 to 0.892. CONCLUSION: Our study suggested that the patients with AD, compared with age-matched HCs, had significantly reduced RNFL + GCL thickness and vascular density. These reductions correlated with the cognitive performance of the participants. By combining nerve and vessel parameters, the diagnosis of AD can be improved using OCTA technology.
