Antiplatelet Trialists’ Collaboration. BMJ. 1994 Jan 8;308(6921):81–106.

PRP=Panretinal photocoagulation; APTC= Antiplatelet Trialists’ Collaboration.

N = Number of Study Participants. Study participants with 2 study eyes are assigned to the non-sham group. Multiple events within a study participant are only counted once per event.

§

1event occurred between baseline and 4 week injections, 1 event occurred approximately 3 weeks after the 4- week injection, and other events from the remaining 6 study participants occurred over 4 weeks after the 4-week injection.
