Sector-Based Regression Strategies to Reduce Refractive Error-Associated Glaucoma Diagnostic Bias When Using OCT and OCT Angiography. | LitMetric

AI Article Synopsis

  • The study investigated how different types of refractive errors (like myopia and hyperopia) affect glaucoma diagnostic measurements from optical coherence tomography (OCT) and OCT angiography (OCTA).
  • It included 1,339 eyes from 791 participants, measuring parameters like nerve fiber layer thickness and capillary density, with results showing more significant effects of ametropia on specific sectors compared to overall measurements.
  • The researchers concluded that adjustments based on axial length and spherical equivalent should be tailored to each sector to help reduce false-positive rates in glaucoma diagnosis.

Article Abstract

Purpose: This cross-sectional study aimed to investigate the sectoral variance of optical coherence tomography (OCT) and OCT angiography (OCTA) glaucoma diagnostic parameters across eyes with varying degrees of refractive error.

Methods: Healthy participants, including individuals with axial ametropia, enrolled in the Hong Kong FAMILY cohort were imaged using the Avanti/AngioVue OCT/OCTA system. The OCT and OCTA parameters obtained include peripapillary nerve fiber layer thickness (NFLT), peripapillary nerve fiber layer plexus capillary density (NFLP-CD), and macular ganglion cell complex thickness (GCCT). Sectoral measurements of NFLT, NFLP-CD, and GCCT were based on sectors and hemispheres.

Results: A total of 1339 eyes from 791 participants were stratified based on spherical equivalent refraction: high myopia (<-6 D), low myopia (-6 D to -1 D), emmetropia (-1 D to 1 D), and hyperopia (>1 D). Multivariable broken stick regression models, accounting for age, sex, and signal strength, showed that all NFLT sectors except temporally, the inferior GCCT hemisphere, and half of the NFLP-CD sectors were more affected by ametropia-related covariates than the corresponding global parameters. As expected, the false-positive rates in those sectors were elevated. Finally, sector-specific axial length (AL) and spherical equivalent (SE) adjustments helped reduce the elevated false-positive rates.

Conclusions: The effect of optical magnification is even more prominent among sectors than the global parameters. AL- and SE-based adjustments should be individualized to each sector to mitigate this magnification bias effectively.

Translational Relevance: Identifying sectoral differences among diagnostic parameters and adopting these sector-based adjustments into commercial OCT systems will hopefully reduce false-positive rates related to refractive error.
