Multivariate linear regression model of factors predicting improvement in physical functioning in trichiasis patients 6 months after trichiasis surgery

Characteristic	Coefficient (95% CI)a	p-value
Maximum change in VA	0.09 (0.02–0.16) b	0.013
Baseline Entropion	0.32 (0.04–0.60) c	0.026
Baseline logMAR in the better seeing eye	0.21 (0.14–0.28) d	<0.001
Baseline score of physical functioning	0.46 (0.27–0.64) e	<0.001

^aadjusted for age and gender

^bMaximum change in VA: 0.09 unit improvement in physical functioning score per line of improvement in vision from baseline to six months

^cBaseline Entropion: 0.32 unit improvement in physical functioning score per increasing category of entropion severity

^dBaseline logMAR in the better eye: 0.21 unit improvement in physical functioning score per line of vision worse at baseline

^eBaseline score of physical functioning: 0.46 unit improvement in physical functioning score per unit of physical functioning worse at baseline
