The authors are commenting on the study entitled: “Clinical characteristics and outcome of posterior cystoid macular degeneration in chronic central serous chorioretinopathy” published by Mohabati et al. in Retina Journal 2020;40(9):1742-1750, which evaluated clinical characteristics and visual outcome in 62 chronic central serous chorioretinopathy patients (83 eyes) with posterior cystoid retinal degeneration. After performing the multivariate analysis, older age at initial central serous chorioretinopathy diagnosis remained a statistically significant predictor for posterior cystoid retianal degeneration resolution. However, the validation, extrapolation, and generalizability of these findings can be made only by regression analyses including all the missing data adduced to above by us in addition to the baseline characteristics already assessed in this study, serving to identify the potential prognosticators influencing the final visual acuity and resolution of the subretinal fluid and posterior cystoid retinal degeneration.
