Risk factors and predictive cutoff values for new-onset microscotoma following vitrectomy with internal limiting membrane peeling for epiretinal membrane

Key Points

• Identify risk factors and predictive cutoff values for new-onset microscotoma after vitrectomy with internal limiting membrane peeling.
• Analyzed patient data post-vitrectomy
• Identified vulnerable regions for microscotoma
• Established predictive cutoff values for risk assessment
• Identified specific risk factors for developing microscotoma
• High negative predictive values (NPVs) indicate reliable low-risk areas
• Optimized ILM peeling approach for better outcomes
