*Inferential statistics were based on analysis of covariance model with the baseline BCVA as a covariate and region (country) and treatment as fixed factors.
†Inferential statistics were based on analysis of covariance model with the baseline CST as a covariate and region (country) and treatment as fixed factors.
‡Inferential statistics were based on analysis of covariance model with the baseline CRLT as a covariate and region (country) and treatment as fixed factors.
§Inferential statistics were based on analysis of covariance model with the baseline total CNV size as a covariate and region (country) and treatment group as fixed factors.
¶The adjusted difference and its 95% CI were analysed by a stratified Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel test with region (country) as a factor.
BCVA, best-corrected visual acuity (letter score); CNV, choroidal neovascularisation; CRLT, central retinal lesion thickness; CST, central subfield thickness; FAS, full analysis set; n, number of participants with available data at week 52; N, total number of participants; n’, number of participants with available assessment results at week 52 (percentages are based on n’); RBZ, reference ranibizumab.
