Table 5.
Comparison of the proportion of eyes that did not meet category 3 criteria among the three subtypes of neovascular age-related macular degeneration.
| Characteristic | Typical neovascular AMD (N = 208) | PCV (N = 189) | Type 3 neovascularization (N = 69) | P value∗ |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Eyes that did not meet at least one category 3 criterion | 103 (49.5%) | 89 (47.1%) | 22 (31.9%) | 0.036 |
| Visual acuity criterion | 80 (38.5%) | 60 (31.7%) | 17 (24.6%) | 0.083 |
| Visual acuity better than 20/40 | 40 (19.2%) | 44 (23.3%) | 6 (8.7%) | 0.032 |
| Visual acuity worse than 20/320 | 40 (19.2%) | 16 (8.5%) | 11 (15.9%) | 0.009 |
| Submacular hemorrhage criterion | 9 (4.3%) | 31 (16.4%) | 2 (2.9%) | <0.001 |
Data are presented as number (%).AMD = age-related macular degeneration, PCV = polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy. ∗Statistical analysis was performed using the chi-square test.
