a
85 letters = 20/20, 70 letters = 20/40, 50 letters = 20/100.14
b
Continuous variables are summarized with medians and ranges.
c
Retinal thickness (RT) is measured by optical coherence tomography (OCT) at the central subfield.
d
A negative change, representing a decrease in retinal thickness, is considered an improvement.
e
Percent change = (RT at six months – RT at enrollment)/(RT at enrollment).
f
Macular edema (ME) is defined as retinal thickness at the center subfield ≥ 260 μm as measured by OCT.
