  1. Overview of the evaluated parameters in the total cohort as well as a comparison between the parameters in the MH closed vs. MH persisting groups. All data except percentages are presented as the median with IQR (median (Q1; Q3)) and range (min., max.). Statistical tests applied: # Mann–Whitney U test; $ Chi-square test; § Fisher’s exact test; Abbreviations: MLD minimum linear diameter, BD base diameter, H max. Height, THI tractional hole index, MHI macular hole index, DHI diameter hole index; Ar area of MH, Cy areas of pseudocysts, VA visual acuity; ns: not significant
