In vivo confocal microscopy data: success versus failure groups.

	MMA		MMD		SCTD
	Month 6	Month 12	Month 6	Month 12	Month 6	Month 12
Success group	19,407 ± 15,796	12,502 ± 19,633	50.12 ± 30.16	86.47 ± 91.47	62.12 ± 18.02	72.69 ± 14.53
Failure group	13,665 ± 8120	11,816 ± 15,389	44.17 ± 8.42	69.27 ± 109.66	86.64 ± 16.75	120.4 ± 26.91
p value success versus failure	0.20	0.95	0.35	0.79	0.05	0.01

MMA: mean microcysts area; MMD: mean microcysts density; SCTD: subepithelial connective tissue density. Data are expressed as mean ± standard deviation. For the analysis of variables, the Student t-test was applied. p values < 0.05 were considered statistically significant.
