Purpose:
To describe and evaluate the intraretinal cystoid spaces (ICSs) in the eyes of punctate inner choroidopathy (PIC) patients.
Methods:
In this observational study, patients diagnosed with PIC were included and reviewed between December 2016 and November 2018. All patients underwent multimodal retinal imaging examinations.
Results:
Forty-one eyes of 26 patients diagnosed with PIC were included. ICSs were found in 13 eyes (31.7%) of 11 subjects. Statistical analysis revealed that except for spherical equivalent (P= .020), there were no significant difference between patients with ICSs and those with no ICSs at baseline. There were two types of ICSs according to the multimodal imaging findings. These two types of ICSs appeared with regressive PIC lesion and were stable during the follow-up period.
Conclusion:
ICSs are commonly observed in PIC and they may be a sign of the restoration stage of the disease rather than a need for further clinical intervention.

Multiple Regression
Farmers can use multiple regression to determine the crop yield based on more than one factor, such as water availability, fertilizer, soil properties, etc. Here, the crop yield is the response or dependent variable as it depends on the other independent variables. The analysis requires the construction of a scatter plot...

Regression Analysis
In regression analysis, a regression equation is determined based on the line of best fit– a line that best fits the data points plotted in a graph. This line is also called the regression line. The algebraic equation for the regression line is called the regression equation. It is represented as:
