Prognostic biomarkers in treatment-naïve central retinal vein occlusion with macular edema by Yu Song, Qian Wang, Yu Du, Hong Tian, Yangyang Xu, Rui Min Chen, Shancheng Si

“…We compared demographic characteristics, baseline blood pressures, ocular features, and systemic biomarkers between groups. Results Multivariable logistic regression analysis identified two independent predictors of unfavorable outcomes: suboptimal 1-month post-injection BCVA (odds ratio [OR] = 1.824 per 0.1 log MAR unit increase, 95% confidence intervals [CI] 1.236–2.691, P = 0.002) and diminished PP (OR = 1.147 per mmHg decrease, 95% CI 1.028–1.279, P = 0.015). …”

Effect of X-Ray Attenuation of Arterial Obstructions on Intravenous Thrombolysis and Outcome after Ischemic Stroke. by Grant Mair, Rüdiger von Kummer, Richard I Lindley, Peter A G Sandercock, Joanna M Wardlaw, IST-3 Collaborative Group

“…Compared with control, treatment with rt-PA was associated with a greater, but non-significant, reduction in obstruction attenuation at follow-up (-8.0 HU versus -1.4 HU in patients allocated control, p = 0.117). In multivariable ordinal regression analysis controlled for patient age, stroke severity, location and extent of obstruction, time from stroke onset to baseline scan and rt-PA treatment allocation, the attenuation of pre-randomization arterial obstruction was not independently associated with six-month outcome (odds ratio = 0.99, 95% confidence interval = 0.94-1.03, p = 0.516).…”
