Popis: PURPOSE:To characterize quantitative optical coherence tomography angiography (OCT-A) parameters in active neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) patients under treatment and remission nAMD patients. DESIGN:Retrospective, cross-sectional study. PARTICIPANTS:One hundred and four patients of whom 72 were in Group 1 (active nAMD) and 32 in Group 2 (remission nAMD) based on SD-OCT (Spectral Domain OCT) qualitative morphology. METHODS:This study was conducted at the Centre Ophtalmologique de l'Odeon between June 2016 and December 2017. Eyes were analyzed using SD-OCT and high-speed (100 000 A-scans/second) 1050-nm wavelength swept-source OCT-A. Speckle noise removal and choroidal neovascularization (CNV) blood flow delineation were automatically performed. Quantitative parameters analyzed included blood flow area (Area), vessel density, fractal dimension (FD) and lacunarity. OCT-A image algorithms and graphical user interfaces were built as a unified tool in Matlab coding language. Generalized Additive Models were used to study the association between OCT-A parameters and nAMD remission on structural OCT. The models' performance was assessed by the Akaike Information Criterion (AIC), Brier Score and by the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC). A p value of ≤ 0.05 was considered as statistically significant. RESULTS:Area, vessel density and FD were different (p
