Diagnostic accuracy of different keratoconus detection indices of pentacam in paediatric eyes.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

No diagnostic gold standard for keratoconus in children and adolescents exists. Our objective was investigating the diagnostic accuracy of various indices for keratoconus (KC) detection in paediatric eyes.

Methods

All retrievable data of significance from 432 normal right paediatric eyes and 48 eyes of paediatric KC and forme fruste KC (FFKC), imaged by use of a rotating Scheimpflug camera (Oculyzer II, Pentacam HR) between December 2013 and October 2018 at Watany Eye Hospitals, Cairo, Egypt, including Scheimpflug images data, were collected. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) was calculated for different indices in this retrospective descriptive study.

Results

All 36 tested indices showed discriminative power differentiating
