Risk factors for retinal detachment in patients with the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) and cytomegalovirus retinitis: multivariate analyses

	Initial CMV Retinitis Visit^a	Retinal Detachment Visit^b
Characteristic	OR (95% CI)^c	OR (95% CI)^c
Lesion Size, per 10% total retinal surface area	2.64 (1.41-4.94)	-
CMV retinitis in contralateral eye	2.68 (1.18-6.08)	2.12 (0.92-4.90)
Decreased visual acuity (per logMAR line)	-	1.24 (1.16-1.33)

CMV= cytomegalovirus; logMAR= logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution

Longitudinal analysis of the risk factors present at the time of initial CMV retinitis diagnosis that are predictive of subsequent retinal detachment; excludes matched groups in which the case had a retinal detachment at the time of initial CMV retinitis diagnosis.

Cross-sectional analysis of the characteristics present at the time of retinal detachment diagnosis and their association with retinal detachment; includes all matched groups.

Initial multivariate models included factors with P<0.05 in univariate analyses (bold items in Table 1); the final multivariate models shown above were selected with a backwards stepwise algorithm.
