Table 3. Association of the smoking status, lesion subtype and baseline BCVA with BCVA at month 6

Potential variables p values
Smoking status Never smoked Ex-smokers Current smokers
Number of cases 41 17 44
Mean baseline BCVA 0.99±0.53 0.70±0.62 0.97±0.61 0.19/ 0.96
Mean BCVA improvement 0.06±0.37 0.15±0.31 0.07±0.36 0.63/ 0.80
Lesion subtype Typical nAMD PCV
Number of cases 70 32
Mean baseline BCVA 0.90±0.57 1.00±0.63 0.44
Mean BCVA improvement 0.10±0.35 0.00±0.32 0.42
Baseline visual acuity <20/100 20≥100
Number of cases 55 47
Mean baseline BCVA 1.05±0.62 0.80±0.53 0.04
Mean BCVA improvement 0.11±0.37 0.04±0.34 0.28

Never smoked is the reference category (one-way ANOVA). BCVA=best-corrected visual acuity, LogMAR vision; nAMD=neovascular age-related macular degeneration; PCV=polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy
