Table 3 Comparison of the OCTA variables (minimum foveal thickness, the foveal central sector, foveal avascular zone, retinal and choroidal vascular density) between 50 IGHD and 50 controls eyes. Data are expressed as mean (standard deviation) for the foveal avascular zone, the inferior retinal density, the nasal retinal density, and the temporal choroidal density, and compared by Student’s t test The minimum foveal thickness, the foveal central sector, the superior retinal density, the temporal retinal density, the superior choroidal density, the inferior choroidal density, and the nasal choroidal density are expressed as median (interquartile range) and compared by Mann–Whitney test

From: Quantitative measures of the vascular and neural components of the retina in adult individuals with congenital and untreated growth hormone deficiency
