Table 3:

Steroid and symptom severity outcomes for thymectomy vs. non-thymectomy restricted to a single treating neuro-ophthalmologist.

	All thymectomy (n=25) vs. all non-thymectomy (n=26)	Thymectomy within 6 months (n=14) vs. all non-thymectomy (n=26)
Prednisone dose (weighted difference in mg/day)	1.9 (95% CI: −1.3 to 5.2)	0.9 (95% CI: −2.8 to 4.6)
Symptom severity (weighted difference)	0.36 (95% CI: −0.07 to 0.58)	0.41 (−0.07 to 0.89)

A positive difference indicates that the value is greater for thymectomy than non-thymectomy, and a negative difference indicates that the value is smaller for thymectomy than non-thymectomy.
