Abbreviations: * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01.
^aP value < 0.05 was considered significant.
^bMultivariate analysis was performed with a linear mixed model (LMM) to assess the association between IOP change and Schlemm’s canal incision length, in which patient ID and tonometer type (NCT, Applanation, and iCare) were used as random effects, and sex, age, surgery type, glaucoma type, Schlemm’s canal incision length, and number of antiglaucoma eye drops were used as fixed effects.
^cMultivariate analysis was performed with a generalized LMM to examine the relationship between the IOP spike/hyphema grade/surgical success rate and Schlemm’s canal incision length, in which patient ID and tonometer type (NCT, Applanation, and iCare) were used as random effects and sex, age, surgery type, glaucoma type, Schlemm’s canal incision length, preoperative IOP (excluded in case of surgical success), and number of antiglaucoma eyedrops (preoperative data for IOP spike/hyphema grades) were used as fixed effects.
For each response variable, the regression coefficient, its 95% confidence interval (CI), and the p value (Wald test) are shown.
