Change in Optical Coherence Tomography Retinal Volume from Baseline to 1 Year*

Change in OCT Retinal Volume Sham + Prompt Laser N = 189 Ranibizumab + Prompt Laser N = 117 Ranibizumab + Deferred Laser N = 132 Triamcinolone + Prompt Laser N = 121
Total volume (mm3) at 1 year
 Mean±SD 8.1±1.4 7.3±1.0 7.4±1.2 7.5±1.3
 Median (25th, 75th percentile) 7.9 (7.2, 8.7) 7.0 (6.6, 7.8) 7.1 (6.6, 7.8) 7.2 (6.7, 7.9)
Change in volume (mm3) from baseline

Difference in mean change from sham+prompt laser (95% CI) [P Value] −0.73 (−1.01, −0.44) [P<0.001] −0.68 (−0.96, −0.41) [P<0.001] −0.62 (−0.91, −0.34) [P<0.001]

OCT = optical coherence tomography; SD = standard deviation; CI = confidence interval.

*

Visits occurring between 308 and 420 days (between 44 and 60 weeks) from randomization were included as 1 year visits. When more than 1 visit occurred in this window, data from the visit closest to the 1-year target date were used.

Missing (or ungradeable) data as follows for the sham+prompt laser, ranibizumab+prompt laser, ranibizumab+deferred laser, and triamcinolone+prompt laser groups, respectively: 85, 54, 46, 55.

Analysis of covariance adjusted for baseline OCT retinal volume, OCT retinal thickness and visual acuity and correlation between 2 study eyes. Confidence intervals are adjusted for multiple comparisons.
