Table 1 Baseline Demographics and Patient Characteristics Assessed for Predictive Value of Early Visual Acuity Outcomes

From: Baseline characteristics associated with early visual acuity gains after ranibizumab treatment for retinal vein occlusion

Baseline predictors of early achievement of BCVA 20/40 or better (Snellen equivalent)

 BCVA (≤ 50, >  50)

 Subretinal fluid

 Total macular volume (≤ 9.99 mm3, >  9.99 mm3)

Baseline predictors of early first BCVA gain of 15 or more ETDRS letters

 Sex

Variables that did not have a predictive value on visual outcomes

 Age (≤ 60 years, >  60 years)

 Race

 BMI (<  30 kg/m2, ≥ 30 kg/m2)

 Disease type (BRVO/HRVO vs CRVO)

 Months since RVO diagnosis

 Smoking status

 Hypertension

 Diabetes

 Prior RVO therapies
