PURPOSE: To evaluate factors related to subretinal proliferation in patients with primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RD). METHODS: A total of 262 consecutive patients (267 eyes) with rhegmatogenous RD were evaluated retrospectively to determine factors associated with subretinal proliferation. RESULTS: Logistic regression analysis was used to identify the following factors associated with subretinal proliferation that caused retinal traction: number of quadrants detached (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] = 2.21), longer duration of RD (AOR = 1.52), younger patient age (AOR = 0.51), and presence of atrophic retinal breaks (AOR = 0.41). CONCLUSION: Atrophic retinal breaks, younger patient age, and RD of long duration and greater extent were associated with the presence of subretinal proliferation.
