A generalized linear model was used to evaluate the relationship between retinal measures and clinical diagnosis, which was adjusted for confounders of sex, age, medical history of hypertension and diabetes, and the quality index of OCTA image. The scale parameter was estimated by maximum likelihood. The bold values indicate statistical significance. *p < 0.05 and **p < 0.01.
