Popis: | Purpose Multifocal electroretinogram (mfERG) shows great utility as a screening tool to detect early hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) retinopathy, but its widespread use is limited by the lack of accessibility and long test duration. In this study, we evaluated a novel concentric 5-ring mfERG stimulus to provide a simplified and rapid protocol for screening HCQ toxicity. Methods Patients referred for HCQ retinopathy screening were consented to this observational cross-sectional study. Patients with amblyopia, high refractive error (more than 8 diopters), other retinal diseases precluding appropriate evaluation or history of retinal surgery were excluded. The data were collected from patients undergoing HCQ screening at a single center from July 2019 to March 2020. Patients were tested with the new concentric 5-ring mfERG stimulus, standard 61-hexagon mfERG stimulus, spectral domain optical coherence tomography and automated 10-2 visual fields. For the main outcome, the 5-ring mfERG was compared to 61-hexagon stimulus to determine the time-to-test completion and assess the association between ring (R1–R5) amplitude and ring ratio compared against cumulative dose, dose by real body weight and duration of therapy using Pearson correlation. Results In total, 52 patients (104 eyes; 5 males and 47 females) were recruited with a mean age of 59 years (range 23–85 years). The 5-ring protocol was markedly quicker to perform (1.3 ± 0.2 min; mean (SD)) compared to the 61-hexagon protocol (5.2 ± 0.6 min), p n = 10 patients. The new R2/R5 ring ratio showed a moderate correlation with daily dose (r = − 0.640), cumulative dose (r = − 0.581) and duration of therapy (r = − 0.417). Similar correlations were observed with the new R2/R4 ring ratio which were not significantly different from the new R2/R5 correlation coefficients. The new R2/R5 ring ratio demonstrated a stronger correlation with daily (p = 0.002) and cumulative dose (p = 0.0001) compared to the 61-hexagon stimulus. Conclusions In this exploratory study, our novel 5-ring mfERG protocol significantly shortened data acquisition time while providing comparable results to the standard 61-hexagon stimulus for detecting HCQ-induced electrophysiological changes that are correlated with HCQ dosages and treatment duration. Our protocol has the potential to be more clinically practical by simplifying routine screening. |
