The results of the prospective CE study were compared with previously published data from a prospective cohort study on ACA parameter changes before and after LPI from our group [19 (link)]. Only the 34 eyes of the 21 participants who completed the pre- and post- LPI study and had acceptable ASOCT images were included for comparison. A mixed-effect model was used to compare the treatment groups (CE vs. LPI). The fixed effect was the treatment group (CE vs. LPI), and the random effect was the study participants.
All statistical analysis was performed using SAS for Window v9.4 (SAS Inc., Cary, NC), with a P value less than 0.05 considered statistically significant. Data are available at https://figshare.com/articles/Data_for_PONE-D-16-07110_LE_vs_LPI_xlsx/3753303.
