Statistical Analysis 1 for Mean Number of Macular Laser Treatments From Baseline Through Months 24 and 36
Groups [1] Ranibizumab 0.3 mg vs. Sham Injection
Method [2] ANOVA
P Value [3] <0.0001
Mean Difference (Final Values) [4] -0.9
95% Confidence Interval -1.3 to -0.5
[1] Additional details about the analysis, such as null hypothesis and power calculation:
  The analysis summarized in this section is for the Month 24 time point, comparing the outcome for patients randomized to ranibizumab versus sham injections during the controlled treatment period. The statistical analysis for the Outcome Measure at Month 36 is not shown here.
[2] Other relevant method information, such as adjustments or degrees of freedom:
  The analysis was stratified by baseline BCVA score (≤55, >55 letters), baseline HbA1c (≤8%, >8%), and prior therapy for ME in the study eye (yes, no).
[3] Additional information, such as whether or not the p-value is adjusted for multiple comparisons and the a priori threshold for statistical significance:
  To manage the type I error rate while testing multiple secondary efficacy endpoints for statistical significance, a type I error management plan was implemented. Secondary endpoints were prioritized and tested using a hierarchical testing procedure.
