研究目的
To evaluate spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) features according to glycemic control status in open-angle glaucoma with diabetes mellitus.
研究成果
Optic nerve head parameters had a superior ability to discriminate glaucoma in diabetic eyes with poor glycemic control. Conversely, the ability to diagnose glaucoma using macular parameters was significantly lower in diabetic eyes with poor glycemic control than in nondiabetic eyes.
研究不足
The small number of samples in each group, cross-sectional design limiting causal relationship determination, potential inclusion of patients with subclinical macular edema, and possible overestimation of the diagnostic ability of ONH in both nondiabetic and diabetic patients.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
Subjects underwent comprehensive ocular examination, visual ?eld testing, and SD-OCT imaging (Cirrus HD-OCT). The relationship between glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and OCT measurements was compared between diabetic nonglaucomatous eyes and diabetic glaucomatous eyes.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Analysis was performed on 69 nonglaucomatous and 87 glaucomatous eyes in the nondiabetic group, and on 72 nonglaucomatous and 56 glaucomatous eyes in the diabetic group.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Cirrus HD-OCT (Carl Zeiss Meditec, Dublin, CA, USA) was used for SD-OCT imaging.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Glaucoma-discriminating ability was assessed using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curves (AUCs) for OCT parameters and compared between groups relative to the glycemic control group.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
The relationship between HbA1c levels and OCT measurements was evaluated using multivariate linear regression analysis adjusted for age and sex.
