Early Manifest Glaucoma Trial: design and baseline data.
640
TL;DR: The EMGT is the first large randomized, clinical trial to evaluate the role of immediate pressure reduction, as compared to no initial reduction, in patients with early glaucoma and normal or moderately elevated IOP, and its results will have implications for the clinical management of glau coma.

Incidence of Glaucoma Progression and Rate of Visual Field Deterioration in a Cohort of Urban Ghanaians
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors reported the incidence of glaucoma progression and the rate of visual field deterioration in a small cohort of Ghanaians, and the average rate of change in visual field mean deviation (MD) differed significantly between progressors and nonprogressors.

TL;DR: This study protocol outlines the design and methodology of the GSHM randomized controlled trial, which investigates the effect of medically lowering intraocular pressure in glaucoma suspects with high myopia, adhering to the SPIRIT 2013 Checklist.
Risk Factors for Visual Field Deterioration in the United Kingdom Glaucoma Treatment Study.
Panayiota Founti,Catey Bunce,Anthony P Khawaja,Caroline J Doré,Jibran Mohamed-Noriega,David F. Garway-Heath +5 more
TL;DR: Bilateral disease, higher IOP and disc haemorrhage were confirmed as risk factors for deterioration; smoking history appeared to be protective against VF deterioration in the UKGTS.
Evaluation of a combined index of optic nerve structure and function for glaucoma diagnosis
TL;DR: The structure function index (SFI) reflects the traditional clinical diagnosis of glaucoma by combining optic nerve structure and function, and identifies a different subset of patients than either visual field testing or optic nerve head imaging alone.
Determinants of medication adherence to topical glaucoma therapy.
TL;DR: Electronic dose monitors provide important information regarding adherence to topical ocular hypotensive medications in glaucoma patients, and significant differences for adherence rates between patients of European descent and those of African descent were found for all 3 definitions.

Longitudinal data analysis using generalized linear models
Kung Yee Liang,Scott L. Zeger +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, an extension of generalized linear models to the analysis of longitudinal data is proposed, which gives consistent estimates of the regression parameters and of their variance under mild assumptions about the time dependence.
Proportional hazards tests and diagnostics based on weighted residuals
TL;DR: In this article, Chen et al. showed that a treatment effect that decreases with time can be directly visualized by smoothing an appropriate residual plot, which can be expressed as a weighted least-squares line fitted to the residual plot.

Models for longitudinal data: a generalized estimating equation approach.
TL;DR: This article discusses extensions of generalized linear models for the analysis of longitudinal data in which heterogeneity in regression parameters is explicitly modelled and uses a generalized estimating equation approach to fit both classes of models for discrete and continuous outcomes.

TL;DR: The LOCS III is an improved LOCS system for grading slit-lamp and retroillumination images of age-related cataract and contains an expanded set of standards that were selected from the Longitudinal Study of Cataract slide library.

Discrete sequential boundaries for clinical trials
K. K. Gordon Lan,David L. DeMets +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a more flexible method to construct discrete sequential boundaries based on the choice of a function, a*(t), which characterizes the rate at which the error level ac is spent.
