TABLE V.
Effect of Repair (Versus No Repair) on Primary Outcomes with Adjustment for Covariates*
| Outcome | No. of Cohorts | Coefficient (95% CI)† | P Value |
| Percent requiring additional surgery | 34 | −0.095 (−0.17 to −0.021) | 0.012 |
| Percent with subsequent increase in tear size | 22 | 0.529 (−0.693 to 1.751) | 0.4 |
| Constant score at latest follow-up | 14 | 21.197 (−20.01 to 62.403) | 0.31 |
Age, sex, duration of follow-up, and pre-treatment tear size.
Coefficients can be interpreted as estimated mean differences between groups after adjustment for covariates.
