Popis: To evaluate pre-operative qualitative and quantitative parameters of external limiting membranes (ELM) and other associated full thickness macular holes (FTMH) features and their predictive values for post-operative anatomical and functional outcomes. This was a retrospective study of 48 eyes that underwent vitrectomy with internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling for FTMH and had type 1 closure. All subjects underwent optical coherence tomography (SDOCT, Heidelberg, Spectralis), and the eyes were divided into complete ELM closure (CEC) and incomplete ELM closure (IEC) groups based on the post-operative OCTs within 2 months, and ROC curves were used to estimate which of the pre-operative parameters could best predict eyes falling in the CEC group. The mean pre-op ELM defect was smaller in CEC group (594 μm vs 1126 μm, p
