Original Title: Antiangiogénicos en degeneración macular asociada a la edad refractaria al tratamiento
Authors' recommendations: Very low-quality evidence does not allow to draw conclusions about the effectiveness and/or safety of high-dose and/or high-frequency antiangiogenic drugs in age related macular degeneration (AMD) refractory and/or resistant to previous treatment with antiangiogenic drugs. None of the clinical practice guidelines consulted mentions an increased dose and/or frequency of antiangiogenic drugs as a therapeutic option to AMD resistant and/or refractory to previous treatment with antiangiogenic drugs. None of the coverage policies consulted mentions covering high-dose and/or high-frequency antiangiogenic drugs. There are no economic evaluations that assess the impact of the antiangiogenic drug dose and/or frequency increase as a therapeutic option for AMD resistant and/or refractory to previous treatment with antiangiogenic drugs.
