  1. ChT = choroidal thickness; LA = luminal area; SA=Stromal area; ROC = receiver operating characteristic; AUC = area under the curve; SE = standard error; CI = confidence interval; ChT_V = the mean choroidal thickness at the vertical meridian; LA_V = the mean luminal area at the vertical meridian; SA_V = the mean stromal area at the vertical meridian; ChT_N2 = the mean choroidal thickness in the nasal perifoveal region; LA_N2 = the mean luminal area in the nasal perifoveal region; SA_N2 = the mean stromal area in the nasal perifoveal region. P values were determined by ROC curve analysis
