• Choriocapillaris endothelial cells are fenestrated, and choroidal blood flow is approximately 10 times that of the brain. — Imaging the choroidal microvasculature in intensive and high dependency care unit patients: a pilot study
• The retina and choroid offer a rare opportunity to image CNS-related microvasculature non-invasively and repeatedly. — Imaging the choroidal microvasculature in intensive and high dependency care unit patients: a pilot study
• The choroidal circulation has parallels with renal cortical circulation, making the choroid a candidate ocular marker of systemic microvascular function in critically ill patients. — Imaging the choroidal microvasculature in intensive and high dependency care unit patients: a pilot study
• Choroidal interpretation must account for ICU-related physiological heterogeneity, organ dysfunction, time-of-day variation, axial eye length, and refractive error, all of which can influence choroidal thickness. — Imaging the choroidal microvasculature in intensive and high dependency care unit patients: a pilot study
• Choroidal thickness was inversely associated with haemoglobin (r = -0.57). — Imaging the choroidal microvasculature in intensive and high dependency care unit patients: a pilot study
• Choroidal thickness showed positive associations with both cumulative fluid input and cumulative fluid output (Spearman r = +0.58 for each). — Imaging the choroidal microvasculature in intensive and high dependency care unit patients: a pilot study
