A Randomized Trial Comparing Suprachoroidal and Intravitreal Injection of Triamcinolone Acetonide in Refractory Diabetic Macular Edema due to Epiretinal Membrane

Table 3

Central foveal thickness in both groups at baseline, 1, and 3 months.

CFT (um)		SCTA group (n = 13 eyes)	IVTA group (n = 10 eyes)	value
Baseline	Mean ± SD	541 ± 64^a	512 ± 82^a	0.353
1^st month	Mean ± SD	322 ± 56^b	354 ± 62^b	0.214
3^rd month	Mean ± SD	323 ± 54^b	385 ± 72^b	0.028
value		<0.001	<0.001

The independent t-test was used between the groups. Within-group comparisons were done using repeated-measures ANOVA. Post hoc analysis was done using Bonferroni’s method, and different letters indicate significant pair. CFT, central foveal thickness; SCTA, suprachoroidal triamcinolone acetonide; IVTA, intravitreal triamcinolone acetonide.
