BackgroundAlthough conbercept has been used for other diseases associated with new vascular formation, the effect of single-dose conbercept in combination with proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) have not been established. We thus conducted this protocol for systematic review and meta-analysis to compare the efficacy and acceptability of panretinal photocoagulation (PRP) associated with intravitreal conbercept injections versus PRP alone in the treatment of patients with PDR.MethodsThe Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Protocols reporting guidelines and the recommendations of the Cochrane Collaboration were followed to conduct this study. Reviewers will search the PubMed, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, and EMBASE online databases using the key phrases "panretinal photocoagulation," "conbercept," and "proliferative diabetic retinopathy" for all cohort studies published up to May 2021. The studies on cohort study focusing on PRP + conbercept and PRP alone for PDR patients will be included in our meta-analysis. At least one of the following outcomes should have been measured: PRP completion rate, proportion of eyes with visual gain/loss, central macular thickness, and incidence of complication. Review Manager software (v 5.4; Cochrane Collaboration) is used for the meta-analysis.ResultsIt was hypothesized that intravitreal conbercept plus PRP was more effective than PRP alone.Osf Registration Number10.17605/OSF.IO/HCQ2S.Copyright © 2021 the Author(s).
