Clinical Factors Associated With Long-Term OCT Variability in Glaucoma.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To examine clinical factors associated with long-term optical coherence tomography (OCT)-measured retinal nerve fiber layer thickness (RNFLT) variability in glaucoma.

Study design

Retrospective cohort study.

Methods

Glaucoma eyes from Diagnostic Innovations in Glaucoma Study (DIGS)/the African Descent and Glaucoma Evaluation Study (ADAGES) with ≥2-years and 4-visit follow-up were included. RNFLT variability was calculated per visit as the absolute error of optic nerve head RNFLT residuals across longitudinal follow-up. Clinical factors examined included general demographics, baseline ocular measurements, prior and intervening cataract extraction (CE) or glaucoma surgery, scan quality, baseline RNFLT and RNFLT thinning rate, follow-up duration, and visit/testin
