Figure 1 Distribution of the ratios of visits at which intra- or subretinal fluid was detected in relation to all visits of each patient during the 2 years follow-up in each polymorphism group and in groups of differing risk allele frequencies. Risk alleles were defined as A in IL-8 rs4073, A in VEGF rs699947, and C in CFH rs1061170. IL = interleukin; NS = nonsignificant. *P = 0.048 (Kruskal Wallis), **P = 0.002, ***P = 0.00012, and ****P = 0.000022 (Mann-Whitney U test) compared with the group with lowest sum of risk alleles.
