The APOSTEL recommendations for reporting quantitative optical coherence tomography studies.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To develop consensus recommendations for reporting of quantitative optical coherence tomography (OCT) study results.

Methods

A panel of experienced OCT researchers (including 11 neurologists, 2 ophthalmologists, and 2 neuroscientists) discussed requirements for performing and reporting quantitative analyses of retinal morphology and developed a list of initial recommendations based on experience and previous studies. The list of recommendations was subsequently revised during several meetings of the coordinating group.

Results

We provide a 9-point checklist encompassing aspects deemed relevant when reporting quantitative OCT studies. The areas covered are study protocol, acquisition device, acquisition settings, scanning protocol, funduscopic imaging, postac
