This was a primary data collection-based observational special drug-use surveillance to be conducted in accordance with the Good Post-marketing Study Practice (GPSP) ordinance.
This study aimed to evaluate the safety of Beovu kit for intravitreal injection in clinical use in diabetic macular edema (DME) patients. The observation period was 1 year (52 weeks) from the first Beovu administration in the primary treated eye. In patients discontinuing treatment with Beovu in the primary treated eye before Week 52, the following observation periods applied. * Date of last Beovu dose + 90 days\* in primary treated eye \> Week 52: up to Week 52 * Date of last Beovu dose + 90 days\* in primary treated eye ≤ Week 52: up to last dosing date in the primary treated eye + 90 days \*90 days: to collect as much data as possible considering clinical effects

Incidences of adverse events by risk factor of the safety specifications
Incidences of adverse events by risk factor of the safety specifications (primary treated eyes only) was collected. Safety specifications: intraocular inflammation, endophthalmitis, intraocular pressure elevation, retinal detachment and retinal tear, retinal arterial embolic events, non-ocular arterial thromboembolic events, retinal vasculitis and retinal vascular occlusion

Proportion of patients with VA worsening during the observation period
Proportion of patients with decimal VA worsening during the observation period was calculated. VA was measured in best corrected visual acuity (BCVA). BCVA is the best possible vision that an eye can achieve with the use of glasses or contact lenses
Time frame: Up to 52 weeks
Proportion of patients by administration status in the induction and maintenance phase during the observation period
Number of patients by administration status (yes/no) in the induction and maintenance phase during the observation period was collected
Time frame: Up to 52 weeks
Proportion of patients by treated eye in the induction and maintenance phase during the observation period
Number of patients by treated eye (right eye/left eye) in the induction and maintenance phase during the observation period was collected
Time frame: Up to 52 weeks
