  1. *Asian race and Hispanic ethnicity combined for statistical testing
  2. **Panuveitis and Posterior combined for statistical testing
  3. ***Undifferentiated versus all other origins combined for statistical testing
  4. ****Eyes could have had more than one type of treatment
  5. *****Fisher’s exact testing because of zero cell size
