The parameters analyzed were the foveal avascular zone (FAZ), central macular thickness, total deep capillary plexus vessel density (DCPVD), parafoveal deep capillary plexus vessel density (PaDCPVD), total superficial capillary plexus vessel density (SCPVD), and parafoveal superficial capillary plexus vessel density (PaSCPVD).\r\nResults: Total DCPVD, total SCPVD, PaDCPVD, and PaSCPVD were found to be low in the ocular involvement group compared to the others, and the FAZ area was larger compared to the control group. Capillary plexus densities were positively correlated with the best-corrected visual acuity and negatively correlated with disease duration. No statistically significant difference was found between patients with Beh\u00e7et without ocular involvement and the control group in terms of the FAZ area, DCPVD, PaDCPVD, SCPVD, and PaSCPVD.\r\nConclusion: Optical coherence tomography angiography demonstrated decreased vascularity in Beh\u00e7et patients with ocular involvement; however, it revealed no microvascular differences between patients with Beh\u00e7et\u2019s disease who do not have ocular involvement and the control group.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.46497\/archrheumatol.2023.9494","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,2,6]],"date-time":"2024-02-06T10:08:05Z","timestamp":1707214085000},"page":"200-208","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Can optical coherence tomography angiography be a first line ophthalmological evaluation in patients with Beh\u00e7et\u2019s disease?"],"prefix":"10.5152","volume":"38","author":[{"family":"Dilhan Karaca","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"family":"Aynur D\u0131ra\u00e7o\u011flu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"family":"Feyza \u00d6nder","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"3111","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,6,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref-1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Ozdal PC, Orta\u00e7 S, Ta\u015fkintuna I, Firat E.
