Combining Optical Coherence Tomography and Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography Longitudinal Data for the Detection of Visual Field Progression in Glaucoma.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To use longitudinal optical coherence tomography (OCT) and OCT angiography (OCTA) data to detect glaucomatous visual field (VF) progression with a supervised machine learning approach.

Design

Prospective cohort study.

Methods

One hundred ten eyes of patients with suspected glaucoma (33.6%) and patients with glaucoma (66.4%) with a minimum of 5 24-2 VF tests and 3 optic nerve head and macula images over an average follow-up duration of 4.1 years were included. VF progression was defined using a composite measure including either a "likely progression event" on Guided Progression Analysis, a statistically significant negative slope of VF mean deviation or VF index, or a positive pointwise linear regression event. Feature-based gradient boosting classifiers were
