The Usefulness of Inclusion of Visual Field Tests Using Multiple Testing Strategies in Perimetric Rate of Progression Analyses.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

The purpose of this study was to validate the use of a mixture of strategies (Swedish Interactive Thresholding Algorithm [SITA] Fast and Standard) when conducting the mean total deviation (mTD) trend analysis.

Methods

Data were collected retrospectively from 128 eyes of 95 patients with open-angle glaucoma with at least 5 SITA Fast visual field (VF) followed by 5 SITA Standard VFs. First, the mTD of a fifth future VF in 5.3 years was predicted using various numbers (from 1-2 to 1-4) of SITA Standard VFs. Similar prediction calculations were performed simultaneously using the SITA Fast VFs before the SITA Standard VFs. Furthermore, this calculation was iterated by adjusting for the difference between the SITA Fast and SITA Standard.

Results

Without SITA Fast VF
