Abstract We investigated whether biomarkers such as red blood cell hematocrit (Hct), platelet count (PLT), mean platelet volume (MPV), and platelet distribution width (PDW) are useful as prognostic indicators of postoperative macular edema (ME) after vitrectomy for proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR). Forty-eight eyes of 43 patients with PDR who underwent vitrectomy between January 2018 and May 2020 were analyzed retrospectively. We divided them into two groups according to whether treatmen
