Classification of abnormal fundus autofluorescence patterns in the junctional zone of geographic atrophy in patients with age related macular degeneration

Table 1

 Variations in fundus autofluorescence (FAF) in the junctional zone of geographic atrophy (GA) of 149 eyes* with atrophic AMD

Pattern of increased FAF in the junctional zone of GA No† %
*In 15 eyes of the initially included 164 eyes insufficient FAF image quality did not allow for evaluation of the FAF pattern outside the atrophic patch; frequency data therefore refer to 149 eyes.
†Six eyes (4.0%) were not grouped into one of these types, because there was no predominant FAF pattern in the junctional zone of GA.
None 18 12.1
Focal 18 12.1

Patchy 3 2.0
Diffuse 85 57.0
