Vitreous MIF levels and clinical findings (1)

	Grade 0	Grade 1	Grade 2	Grade 3
Fibrous proliferation		—	6.96 (4.16–11.66)	11.19 (4.65–31.71)	30.24 (5.77–103.85)
Fibrous proliferation		(n=0)	(n=4)	(n=19)	(n=9)
Preoperative photocoagulation		12.82 (5.07–31.71)	42.18 (6.83–103.85)	11.66 (4.65–44.52)	5.77 (4.16–6.76)
Preoperative photocoagulation		(n=4)	(n=4)	(n=21)	(n=3)

↵All values indicate vitreous MIF levels given as the median (range) ng/ml.
↵p<0.05. Significant differences were found among 3 groups (p=0.0199).
↵NS = no significant differences were found among 4 groups (p=0.0585), although there was a tendency toward lower levels in eyes with grade 3.
