The Czech Ophthalmologic Society (member of the Czech Medical Society of Jan Evangelista Purkyne) in collaboration with the Institute of Biostatistics and Analysis of the Masaryk University in Brno established a nation-wide information system for the follow-up of the epidemiology and treatment of the exsudative age-related macular degeneration (ARMD). The project named AMADEUS is a multi-centric, non-invasive, observation prospective study with the aim to improve the patients' treatment and to unify the criteria for the follow-up of the ARMD in the real clinical practice in the Czech Republic. The basic instrument of the whole project is a clinical register collecting parametric data from 9 specialized centers. Especially the project monitors the photodynamic therapy with Verteporfyrine (Visudyne) and treatment by anti-VEGF agents, or Pegaptanib (Macugen) and Ranibizumab (Lucentis). The project's protocol is trying to collect representative data about ARMD diagnosis and treatment; during regularly controls, the efficacy and safety of the treatment are followed-up.The data collecting does not influence the treatment strategy or the availability of chosen treatment for the patient. Since October 2008 until the end of the year 2009, the registry collected complex information about more than 1402 newly treated ARMD patients; out of them, in 582 cases the one-year follow-up period was regularly terminated. The available data shows well-considered indication of drugs indications by the doctors; the treated patients fulfill the indications criteria set by the scientific society. According to the data from the registry, in some treating centers the application schedule is not followed-up in some drugs (especially Pegaptanib); there is the possibility to improve the treatment. All the clinical centers participating in the AMADEUS registry will continue in the data collecting, which after a longer period of time will facilitate further treatment optimization and eliminating of the established imperfections.
