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.

Reza Alizadeh,Laura A. Vickers,Pradtana Hirunpatravong,Pablo Romero,Mark Lin,Farideh Sharifipour,Joseph Caprioli +6 more
TL;DR: A POAG subtype with APON and systemic vascular instability, predominantly female in their sixth decade of life who demonstrate progressive glaucomatous visual field damage at low intraocular pressure is described.
Daily Costs and Cost Effectiveness of Glaucoma Fixed Combinations in China
TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared the daily costs and cost effectiveness of fixed combination glaucoma drugs in China and found that Ganfort was the most economical choice with lower daily cost and per mmHg reduction cost.
GDx-MM: An Imaging Mueller Matrix Retinal Polarimeter
TL;DR: An imaging polarimeter capable of measuring a complete Mueller matrix of the retina has been designed, built, calibrated, validated, and used on human subjects.
Medicinal glaucoma therapy. What can we learn from large randomized clinical trials
TL;DR: The RCTs achieved the main goal of high level of evidence, thus making progress in the understanding of glaucoma and its treatment and bridging consensus-based and evidence-based decisions.

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.

Leo T. Chylack,John K. Wolfe,D.M. Singer,M. C. Leske,Mark A. Bullimore,Ian Bailey,Judith Friend,D. Mccarthy,Suh Yuh Wu +8 more
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.
