CDI characteristics in patients with retinal vein occlusion at presentation

Central retinal vein occlusionBranch retinal vein occlusion

Data expressed as mean (SD).
*Wilcoxon signed rank sum test to compare affected and unaffected eyes. Tests performed within each group.
**One way ANOVA to compare the mean value of affected eyes over the three groups.
RI = resistance index in the central retinal artery; CRVmax = maximal venous flow velocity in the central retinal vein (cm/s); CRVmin = minimum venous flow velocity in the central retinal vein (cm/s); AVT = arteriovenous passage time measured by fluorescein angiography in seconds.
