Note:—DSP is not included in this table as there were no crystals or aggregates identified in DSP.
↵a Percentage of crystals >10 μm and therefore with embolic potential.
↵b Percentage of crystals that are formed into aggregates.
↵c Denoting where there were statistically significant differences in measurements between plasma and nonplasma mixed corticosteroid (P <.05).
↵d Percentage of crystal aggregates that are >10 μm and therefore with embolic potential.
↵* Denoting where differences in measurement were statistically significant between MPA and TA.
