Abbreviations: AL, axial length; D, diopters; NA, not applicable; SER, spherical equivalent refraction.
The intervention group included those who continued the intervention and those with interrupted intervention.
Risk difference, absolute efficacy = value in control group − value in intervention group.
Relative risk = value in intervention group/value in control group.
Relative efficacy = (value in control group − value in intervention group)/value in control group.
The t test was used for change of AL and SER, and the χ2 test was used for incidence.
