Two biomarkers predicted better VA at 12 months with a low-certainty: the presence of an intact external limiting membrane (+14.0; 95% confidence interval [CI], +3.1 to +24.8) and the presence of an intact ellipsoid zone (+6.8; 95% CI, +2.8 to +10.8). Three biomarkers predicted worse VA at 12 months with a low certainty; the presence of intraretinal fluid (IRF; -5.6; 95% CI, -9.7 to -1.5), the presence of IRF in the foveal center point (-7.4; 95% CI, -10.1 to -4.7), and the presence of subretinal hyperreflective material (-8.7; 95% CI, -19.0 to 1.6). No other biomarker predicted an effect size that crossed the minimally important difference. However, noteworthy results occurred when interpreting biomarkers with statistically significant findings relative to a threshold of 0 letters and moderate certainty: the presence of a pigment epithelial detachment, geographic atrophy (GA), and both IRF and subretinal fluid (SRF) predicted reduced vision at 12 months. The presence of SRF predicted a positive change in VA at 12 months. The absence of a posterior vitreous detachment predicted a negative change in VA at 12 months.
