Cosmetic outcome of femtosecond laser-assisted pterygium surgery

Table 3 Correlation of potential predictive factors for good cosmetic outcome following femtosecond laser-assisted pterygium surgery

Dependent variables	Spearman’s correlation coefficients (95% CI)	P-value
Age (years)	0.29 (−0.09 to 0.60)	0.12
Gender (female vs. male)	0.25 (−0.13 to 0.58)	0.18
Preop pterygium severity (T1-T3)	0.24 (−0.15 to 0.57)	0.22
Intraop CAG thickness (μm)	−0.10 (−0.45 to 0.29)	0.62
Postop CAG thickness (μm)	0.38 (−0.04 to 0.69)	0.06

CI = confidence interval. A positive R value indicates an inverse correlation between the dependent variable and a good outcome and, vice versa, for a negative R value
