Effect of Treatment on Risk of Loss of VA Score of ≥15 Letters From Baseline in AMD Category 4 Eyes With Advanced Neovascular AMD*

Baseline VA 20/100 or better (n = 260)
Baseline VA 20/200 or better (n = 352)
Treatment OR (99% CI) PValue OR (99% CI) PValue
Antioxidants vs no antioxidants 0.54 (0.30–0.95) .005 0.66 (0.40–1.07) .03
Zinc vs no zinc 0.99 (0.56–1.74) .96 1.10 (0.67–1.79) .62
Antioxidants vs placebo 0.35 (0.15–0.81) .001 0.56 (0.27–1.13) .03
Zinc vs placebo 0.65 (0.28–1.50) .18 0.93 (0.46–1.89) .79

Eyes with geographic atrophy at baseline are excluded. Unadjusted analysis by repeated-measures logistic regression. VA indicates visual acuity; AMD, age-related macular degeneration; OR, odds ratio; and CI, confidence interval. P≤.01 is considered statistically significant.
