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.

A Review of Nitric Oxide for the Treatment of Glaucomatous Disease.
TL;DR: Latanoprostene bunod 0.024% is an emerging therapeutic agent that has shown promise in clinical trials and capitalizes on NO’s ability to modulate the conventional aqueous humor outflow system, directly improving outflow through the trabecular meshwork, Schlemm's canal and distal scleral vessels.

Systems, processes and computer-accessible medium for providing hybrid flourescence and optical coherence tomography imaging
Farouc A. Jaffer,Vasilis Ntziachristos +1 more

TL;DR: In this paper, a method for obtaining information regarding at least one portion of a biological structure is presented. But the method is not suitable for the detection of biological structures, since it requires the information associated with the second fluorescent radiation, and the image of the portion may not be associated with more than one lumen.

Comparison of Methods to Predict Visual Field Progression in Glaucoma
TL;DR: Visual field progression at 8 years was detected in 35%, 31%, and 22% of patients by pointwise linear regression, GCPA, and the AGIS method, respectively, and all algorithms had low false prediction rates.

TL;DR: Trend analysis VFI is likely to detect progression in patients with a greater number of visual field tests and a longer follow-up time, and seems to be more accurate than MD analysis for determining rate of progression.
Risk factors for primary open angle glaucoma progression: what we know and what we need to know.
TL;DR: Identifying risk factors associated with progression of patients with primary open angle glaucoma is essential to clinical practices and the level of understanding regarding those risks is suboptimal at this point.

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.
