Fig. 3 — Deprivation status and monthly breakdown of pre-COVID-19 and during-COVID-19 groups and retinal detachment characteristics and outcomes by deprivation status. a Patients from areas of least socioeconomic deprivation had a higher proportion of macula-off RRD in 2020 relative to the pre-COVID-19 years, an observation not made with the most deprived group. b The effect of deprivation status and re-detachment rate before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. The least deprived group were significantly more affected by lockdown regulations than the most deprived group. In the second quarter (April to June), the least deprived group had a higher re-detachment rate during-COVID-19 then pre-COVID-19 (p = 0.010), which was not found in the most deprived group (p = 1.000). Asterisk Of the patients who experienced re-detachment, significantly more of them were from the least deprived group in the second quarter during-COVID-19 (p = 0.049) where no difference was detected pre-COVID-19 (p = 0.525)
