The safety set consisted of patients in the enrolled set who were treated with at least 1 dose of ranibizumab during this study or prior to start of study and had at least 1 safety assessment after the first treatment.

*Patients with a baseline visit on or before 1 March, 2015 are included. Data missing for 14 patients from the total 1,063 enrolled treatment-naïve patients with DME.

Data collected until the last recorded follow-up date was used to perform the analyses.

For treatment-naïve eyes, the date of first on-study injection with ranibizumab was considered the baseline date.

AE, adverse event; DME, diabetic macular edema; VEGF, vascular endothelial growth factor
