Figure Lengend Snippet: Levels of C-reactive protein and homocysteine in different types of retinal vein occlusion. Levels of C-reactive protein (CRP, in mg/L) showed no differences between central retinal vein occlusion (RVO), hemi-central RVO, and branch RVO ( A ). Accordingly, levels of homocysteine (in µmol/L) did not differ between central RVO, hemi-central RVO, and branch RVO ( B ) (Tukey’s multiple comparison test, p > 0.05).

Figure Lengend Snippet: Correlation analysis of C-reactive protein and homocysteine levels with morphological parameters on optical coherence tomography. Correlation analysis revealed a positive association between levels of C-reactive protein (CRP, in mg/L) and foveal retinal thickness (FRT, in µm) ( A ), average central retinal thickness (CRT, in µm) ( B ), and average central retinal volume (CRV, in mm 3 ) ( C ). There was no association between homocysteine levels (in µmol/L) and FRT ( D ), average CRT ( E ), and average CRV ( F ).

Figure Lengend Snippet: Correlation analysis of C-reactive protein and homocysteine levels with visual acuity. Correlation analysis revealed a positive association between levels of C-reactive protein (CRP, in mg/L) and visual acuity (LogMAR) at baseline ( A ) and after 12 months ( B ). There was no significant association between homocysteine levels and visual acuity at baseline ( C ) and after 12 months of follow-up ( D ).

Figure Lengend Snippet: Number of intravitreal injections according to the pro-re-nata scheme in patients with increased and normal inflammatory markers. The required number of intravitreal injections after 12 ( A ) and 24 months ( B ) did not differ between patients with C-reactive protein (CRP) levels ≥ 5 mg/L and <5 mg/L. Additionally, there was no difference concerning the required number of intravitreal injections between patients with hyperhomocysteinemia (homocysteine levels ≥ 15 µmol/L) and those with homocysteine levels < 15 µmol/L after 12 ( C ) and 24 months ( D ) of follow-up (Mann–Whitney U test for non-parametric data or unpaired t -test for parametric data, p > 0.05).

Figure Lengend Snippet: Percentage of patients with required retinal laser treatment. There was no difference in the number of patients that received laser treatment between those with C-reactive protein (CRP) levels ≥ 5 mg/L and those with CRP levels < 5 mg/L after 12 ( A ) and 24 months ( B ). Although a higher percentage of patients requiring laser treatment was observed in those with hyperhomocysteinemia, there was no difference in the number of patients that received laser treatment between those with homocysteine levels ≥ 15 µmol/L and those with homocysteine levels < 15 µmol/L after 12 ( C ) and 24 months ( D ) (Fisher’s exact test, p > 0.05). The data is visualized as a percentage (%) of all patients with increased or normal inflammatory markers.
