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.

Variation of clinical outcomes used in glaucoma randomised controlled trials: a systematic review
TL;DR: There is a large variation in the reporting of clinical outcomes in glaucoma RCTs, and this lack of standardisation may impair the ability to evaluate the evidence of glAUcoma interventions.

Apparatus, systems, methods and computer-accessible medium for spectral analysis of optical coherence tomography images
Christine Fleming,Brett E. Bouma,Joseph A. Gardecki,Guillermo J. Tearney +3 more
- 25 May 2011
TL;DR: In this paper, an apparatus and method can be provided for generating information for at least one structure for which it is possible to classify a type of the structure based on the spectroscopic data to generate the information.

Longitudinal Macular Ganglion Cell–Inner Plexiform Layer Measurements to Detect Glaucoma Progression in High Myopia
TL;DR: Monitoring macular GCIPL thickness was effective for predicting glaucoma progression regardless of the presence of high myopia, and the risk of VF progression was evaluated using Cox proportional hazard models.

Stereometric parameters of the Heidelberg Retina Tomograph in the follow-up of glaucoma
Ville Saarela
- 01 Jan 2010
TL;DR: The Heidelberg Retina Tomograph is a confocal scanning laser imaging device, which measures the topography of the ONH and the adjacent RNFL, and the change in the stereometric parameters provides useful information on ONH topography, especially when image quality is excellent.
Detection of Progression of Glaucomatous Visual Field Damage Using the Point-Wise Method with the Binomial Test
TL;DR: The binomial BLR method gives more consistent results than MD trend analysis and PoPLR, hence it will be helpful as a tool to ‘flag’ possible VF deterioration.

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.
The Lens Opacities Classification System III

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.
