Improving glaucoma staging in clinical practice by combining the ICD-10 glaucoma severity classification system and optical coherence tomography.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

The International Classification of Disease, 10th revision (ICD-10) codes used for glaucoma severity classification are based on the 24-2 visual-field (VF) test. This study aim was to assess the added value of providing clinicians with optical coherence tomography (OCT) data, in addition to functional data, for glaucoma staging in clinical practice.

Exposure

Disease classification was determined for 54 glaucoma eyes, according to the principles of the ICD-10 guidelines. Eyes were independently graded in a masked fashion using the 24-2 VF test and 10-2 VF test, with and without OCT information. The reference standard (RS) for severity was determined using a previously published automated structure-function topographic agreement for glaucomatous damage using all avai
