  1. Control, no diabetic macular edema (DME)
  2. Group 1, serous macular detachment (SMD), further subdivided into group 1A with focal edema and group 1B with diffuse edema
  3. Group 2A, focal edema type without SMD
  4. Group 2B, diffuse edema type without SMD
  5. SD standard deviation, HTN hypertension, CVA Hx cardiovascular disease history (including cerebral infarction, a history of cardiac arrest, angina, previous CABG, and previous PCI)
  6. One-way ANOVA (age), Pearson’s Chi-square test (pachychoroid type, sex, hypertension, dyslipidemia) and Fisher’s exact test (CVA Hx, kidney disease Hx) were used
