  1. In multiple logistic regression analysis, only parameters with highly significant differences (min. p ≤ 0.01) between the MH closed and MH persisting groups were included, and macular hole indices were omitted due to multicollinearity/redundancy of the data. The aperture diameter was the strongest predictive factor for surgical success. Abbreviations: CI confidence interval, MLD minimum linear diameter, BD base diameter, H max. Height, Ar area of MH, Cy area of pseudocysts, VA visual acuity; ns: not significant; *: p ≤ 0.05
