Dataset Information

Variation in Intraocular Pressure and the Risk of Developing Open-Angle Glaucoma: The Los Angeles Latino Eye Study.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To determine whether measures of intraocular pressure (IOP) variation are independently associated with the risk of developing open-angle glaucoma (OAG).

Design

A population-based, longitudinal study.

Methods

A total of 3666 Latinos free of OAG at the baseline of the Los Angeles Latino Eye Study were followed up 4 years later. Maximum IOP, standard deviation (SD) of IOP, range of IOP, and mean IOP were derived from 6 readings obtained at the 2 visits. OAG diagnosis at each visit was based on the consensus of experts who had access to all clinical examination data from that visit. Multivariate logistic regression was performed.
