  1. Statistically significant differences in background factors were compared between the two groups using Fisher’s exact test and, for age, using the Mann–Whitney U test. *Statistical significance: P < 0.05. NA-RAO, non-arteritic retinal artery occlusion; SD, standard deviation; CI, cerebral infarction; CAD, coronary artery disease; LDL, low-density lipoprotein; GFR, general fertility rate; ICAS, intracranial artery stenosis; ECAS, extracranial artery stenosis; IMT, maximum intima-media thickness.
