摘要

Purpose

To determine whether more severe baseline damage impedes measurement of minimum rim width (MRW) and peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer thickness (RNFLT) change in glaucoma patients because of a floor effect.

Design

Prospective, longitudinal cohort study in a hospital-based setting.

Participants

The study included patients with open-angle glaucoma and healthy control subjects. Participants had at least 5 years of follow-up with OCT every 6 months.

Methods

Baseline global and sectorial MRW and RNFLT values were classified as within normal limits, borderline, or outside normal limits based on reference normative values. Regression analysis was used to determine the magnitude and significance of MRW and RNFLT change. Additionally, the follow-up period for each participant was divided into 2 equal halves (first and second periods) to determine whether there was attenuation of MRW and RNFLT change with follow-up time.

Main Outcome Measures

Rates of global and sectoral MRW and RNFLT changes (slopes).

Results

A total of 97 patients with glaucoma (median age, 70.3 years) and 42 healthy subjects (median age, 64.8 years) were followed for a median of 6.9 years and 7.0 years, respectively. The median mean deviation of the visual field in glaucoma patients was –4.30 decibels (dB) (interquartile range, –7.81 to –2.06 dB; range, –20.68 to 1.37 dB). Statistically significant changes in global and sectoral MRW and RNFLT were detected across all baseline classifications; however, there was a tendency for less change with increasing baseline damage. In glaucoma patients, RNFLT slopes, but not MRW slopes, were significantly more positive (less change) in the second period compared with the first. There were also no differences in MRW or RNFLT slopes in the first and second periods in healthy subjects.

Conclusions

Significant MRW and RNFLT changes were detected at all levels of baseline damage. However, an attenuation in the rate of RNFLT change compared with MRW indicates an earlier floor effect in RNFLT measurements globally and in equivalent sectors. Because the axonal component of these measurements should be equivalent, our results suggest important differences in tissue remodeling at the level of the optic nerve head and peripapillary retina.
