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

“…Purposes To investigate the associations between potential prognostic biomarkers and clinical outcomes in treatment-naïve CRVO-ME and assess their predictive utilities. Methods In this retrospective cohort study conducted from March 2019 to March 2024, we analyzed 101 treatment-naïve CRVO-ME patients stratified by outcomes: favorable (endpoint best-corrected visual acuity [BCVA] ≥ 20/100 without CRVO-induced neovascular glaucoma [CRVO-NVG]) versus unfavorable (endpoint BCVA < 20/100 or CRVO-NVG development). …”
