CHA₂DS₂-VASc Score in Predicting Visual Acuity Outcomes Following Retinal Vein Occlusion.

ABSTRACT: Purpose: To find whether the CHA₂DS₂-VASc score, a system for stratifying stroke risk among patients with atrial fibrillation, correlates with visual acuity prognosis following retinal vein occlusion (RVO). Participants and Methods: This retrospective study included 83 eyes of 83 patients with a diagnosis of branch or central RVO between June 2017 and August 2022 with at least 12 months of follow-up in Assuta Ashdod Medical Center, Ashdod, Israel. The patients were divided into three groups, with CHA₂DS₂-VASc scores of 0-2 (N = 31), 3-5 (N = 45), or 6-9 (N = 7). The change in best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) between the groups was examined about 1 year after the presentation of RVO. Results: The patien
