  • Operative variables:

  • Each OCT characteristic: 1 point if present; otherwise, 0 point.

  • Aged ≥50 years: 1 point; aged <50 years: 0 point.

  • *The test variable is the total score of all ‘six OCT characteristics’.

  • †The test variable is the total score of ‘six OCT characteristics’ plus ‘hyper-reflective dots in the intraretinal layer and/or subretinal layer’.

  • ‡The test variable is the total score of ‘six OCT characteristics’ plus ‘hyper-reflective dots in the intraretinal layer and/or subretinal layer’ and ‘female’.

  • §The test variable is the total score of ‘six OCT characteristics’ plus ‘hyper-reflective dots in the intraretinal layer and/or subretinal layer’, ‘female’ and “aged ≥50 years’.

  • Female, 1 point; male, 0 point.
