The Association between the Frequency of Rhegmatogenous Retinal Detachment and Atmospheric Temperature
Figure 3
Rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) frequency and daily temperature range according to sex. Even on separate analysis of men and women, the monthly average number of RRD surgeries showed a bimodal peak (April and October) throughout the year and a significant positive correlation was found between the monthly average of daily temperature range and the number of RRD surgeries (male, Pearson correlation coefficient: 0.220, ; female, Pearson correlation coefficient: 0.203, ).
