a
Continuous variables are summarized using medians and interquartile ranges (25th-75th percentiles).
b
Percentages are calculated out of the total cohort for the ‘Missing’ category and out of the total observed cohort for all other categories.
c
Vitreous haze greater than grade 0.
d
Vitreous cells greater than grade 0.
