Associations between clinical characteristics and size and number of silicone oil droplets.

Clinical characteristic	Number and diameter of SO droplets
	Total number	1-<2 μm	2-<3 μm	3-<4 μm	4-<5 μm	5–<7 μm	7–12 μm
Age	NS	NS	NS	NS	NS	β = −0.44 P=0.006	β = −0.38 P=0.016
AL	NS	NS	NS	NS	NS	NS	NS
IOP	NS	NS	NS	NS	NS	NS	NS
Duration of SO in situ	NS	NS	NS	NS	NS	NS	NS
Time course of PPV	NS	NS	NS	NS	NS	NS	NS

Multiple linear regression was used to assess correlations between clinical characteristics and SO characteristics. NS, not significant; AL, axial length; IOP, intraocular pressure; SO, silicone oil; PPV, pars plana vitrectomy.
