marginal significanceP = 0.050
First, axial elongation varied significantly with the axis orientation of astigmatism in the combined cohort ( P < 0.001, η 2 = 0.037) and the younger cohort ( P = 0.031, η 2 = 0.024), demonstrating a marginal significance in the older cohort ( P = 0.050, η 2 = 0.043).
