Value of retinal vein pulsation characteristics in predicting increased optic disc excavation

Table 1

 Predictive model: mixed effects logistic regression with listed variables predicting increased excavation

Variable Value SE p Value
ODF, ophthalmodynamometric force; ONH, optic nerve haemorrhage; MD, visual field mean deviation.
Only significant variables at a 5% level are shown. Mean deviation is the visual field mean deviation, ODF was taken at the initial visit. Binary variables: sexM was 1 for males and 0 for females; ONH was 1 for haemorrhage and 0 for no haemorrhage.
