Schematic drawing of the measurement of the distance between the center of the optic nerve head and fovea, and assessment of the angle between their connecting line with the horizon. <b>b</b>. Drawing of the measurement of the distance between the center of the optic nerve head (determined by drawing a circle along the outer edge of the optic disc, excluding the area of peripapillary atrophy) and fovea, and assessment of the angle between their connecting line with the horizon made on a fundus photograph. <b>c</b>. Schematic position of the ultrasound probe at the correct angle between the horizon and the connecting line between the center of the optic nerve head and the fovea based on the measurement made on the fundus photograph <b>d</b>. Measurement of the height of the retinal detachment by ultrasonography at the measured distance between the center of the optic nerve head and the fovea, as obtained by measuring this distance on the fundus photograph.</p

Factors influencing recovery of visual function 12 months after surgery.

<p>Presented are the effect sizes (a larger b-value represents a greater effect size) and significances (p-values) of the covariates that are statistically significantly associated with visual function measurements for the total group of 45 patients. Subgroup analyses in patients with macula-off RRD of ≤7 days duration (n = 25) and those with macula-off RRD of >7 days duration (n = 20) show that most of the findings observed in the entire patient group remain statistically significant. Significant results after multiple testing correction are shown in bold, nominally significant results (p-value <0.05) are shown in italic.</p><p>*Effect size of interaction of covariate with short or long duration of macula-off RRD. A statistically significant p-value for the interaction indicates that the regression coefficients differ significantly between the two groups and hence the effect size of the covariate in one group is larger compared to the effect size in the other group.</p>†<p>LogMar analyzed with linear regression.</p><p>**Log contrast acuity analyzed with ordinal regression with a complementary log-log link function.</p>‡<p>CCI saturé analyzed with ordinal regression with a negative log-log link function.</p><p>***ln(CCI desaturé) analyzed with linear regression.</p><p>b: regression coefficient.</p
