Table 2. An overview of the 5-score harm scale: significant correlations.

ECL, endothelial cell loss; AVG-post, postoperative average cell area; BCVA, best-corrected visual acuity. Mean values of percentage of endothelial cell loss and postoperative average cell area related to the 5-score harm scale as results from post-hoc Tukey test. The last two columns highlight the number of patients who obtained an excellent best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA > 85 letters) and just a good visual outcome (BCVA ≤ 85 letters) postoperatively.
