  1. AUROC = area under the receiver operating characteristic curve; CI = confidence interval; LR = likelihood ratio; LogMAR = logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution. Three eyes were excluded from this analysis because retinal perfusion status was undeterminable because of blockage by a dense retinal hemorrhage.
