Abstract
Prcis: Analysis of Ambient Interactive Zippy Estimation of Sequential Testing (AIZE) Rapid test variability in patients with stable glaucoma showed that the 95% prediction interval of the mean deviation (MD) value, potentially an index for judging progression, was ±1.63 to ±1.78 dB in early-to-moderate-stage patients.
Objective: To explore the 95% prediction interval of the MD value using the AIZE Rapid test strategy for glaucoma observation.
Patients and methods: This study included 72 patients with stable or suspected glaucoma who underwent the imo AIZE Rapid test 3 times or more within 2 years. Both eyes from each patient were classified as better or worse eyes. They were divided based on baseline MD values into the following 4 groups: MD > -3 dB, -6 dB < MD ≤ -3 dB, -12 dB < MD ≤ -6 dB, and MD ≤ -12 dB. The variability of MD during the observation period and the 95% prediction intervals were analyzed. Pointwise variability of limits at each test location was also calculated.
Results: The numbers of better and worse eyes included in the study were 46 and 33. The median follow-up period was 1.3 years (range: 0.5 to 1.9 y). The 95% prediction intervals for MD values were ±1.41 dB for better eyes (n = 46) and ±1.47 dB for worse eyes (n = 33). The 95% prediction intervals in the MD > -3 dB, -6 dB < MD ≤ -3 dB, -12 dB < MD ≤ -6 dB, and MD ≤ -12 dB groups were ±1.63 dB, ±1.34 dB, ±1.78 dB, and ±1.33 dB, respectively. Pointwise variability of worse eyes was larger than that of better eyes, especially between 10 to 15 dB.
Conclusion: In the case of a difference in MD greater than the 95% prediction intervals when compared with the previous visual field result, we should pay much attention to the possibility of progression of the glaucomatous visual field in patients with stable glaucoma.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Glaucoma is a peer reviewed journal addressing the spectrum of issues affecting definition, diagnosis, and management of glaucoma and providing a forum for lively and stimulating discussion of clinical, scientific, and socioeconomic factors affecting care of glaucoma patients.
