Long-Term Blood Pressure Variability and Visual Field Progression in Glaucoma.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Long-term variability of blood pressure may be associated with visual field (VF) progression in patients with glaucoma.

Objectives

To investigate the association between blood pressure parameters and VF progression over time in patients with glaucoma.

Design, setting, and participants

This retrospective cohort study of longitudinal data included patients with suspected or confirmed glaucoma who were selected from the Diagnostic Innovations in Glaucoma Study and the African Descent and Glaucoma Evaluation Study. Patients underwent blood pressure and VF testing from November 2000 to December 2022, and data were analyzed in October 2023.

Exposure

Suspected or confirmed glaucoma.

Main outcomes and measures

Mean and SD values of blood pressure vari
