Abstract Background To compare the surgical status in idiopathic epiretinal membrane (IERM) patients with or without disorganization of retinal inner layers (DRIL) and to correlate with optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) and clinical data. Methods In 74 eyes from 74 patients with IERM treated by surgery with 12-month follow-up. According to the superficial hemorrhage, the patients were divided into group A (no macular bleeding), group B (macular parafoveal bleeding) and group C (macular foveal bleeding). Optical coherence tomography (OCT) were evaluated for presence of DRIL,central retina thickness and integrity of the inner/outer segment layer recorded at baseline and at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months postoperatively and best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was recorded simultaneously. OCTA was conducted at 12 months postoperatively. Main outcome measures is correlation between DRIL and superficial hemorrhage in membrane peeling,and BCVA and OCTA outcomes postoperatively. Results The rate of DRIL and BCVA had statistically significant differences between the three groups at the time points(baseline and 1, 3, 6, and 12 months after surgery), respectively (P
