Effect of autologous whole blood in surgery for full-thickness macular hole: a propensity score matching analysis
The incorporation of PSM can greatly reduce the bias incurred by confounders in this retrospective study. The adjuvant use of WB significantly improves the functional and anatomical outcomes after MH surgery. Especially in patients with large MHs, WB can precipitate the proliferation and migration of Müller cells which ensures foveal structure restoration.
