Final statistical model derived by backwards stepwise logistic regression.
Variables entered initially: age, sex, diagnosis, lens status, type of procedure, preoperative visual acuity, astigmatism, rejection, other complications, other pathology, and clinic.
OR>1, VA more likely to be ≤0.2; OR<1, VA less likely to be ≤0.2.
