Baseline Deep Capillary Plexus Ischemia as a Superior Predictor of Early Diabetic Retinopathy Complications Relative to Foveal Avascular Zone Enlargement

Baseline Deep Capillary Plexus Ischemia as a Superior Predictor of Early Diabetic Retinopathy Complications Relative to Foveal Avascular Zone Enlargement

Deep capillary plexus ischemia quantified by geometric perfusion deficit predicts earlier and higher risk of diabetic retinopathy complications than foveal avascular zone enlargement, underscoring GPDd's clinical utility as a biomarker for personalized monitoring.
