目的利用频域光学相干断层扫描(SD-OCT)对青光眼患者盘周视网膜神经纤维层(RNFL)厚度进行观察测量,比较非Follow-up模式和Follow-up模式测量结果的可重复性。方法连续收集就诊于中国医科大学附属第一医院的青光眼患者38例,随机选择患者一侧眼进行测量。利用SD-OCT分别采用非Follow-up模式和Follow-up模式对盘周RNFL厚度进行测量,比较2种检查模式的组内标准差(Sw)、变异系数(CV)和组内相关系数(ICC)。结果非Follow-up模式测量RNFL厚度,Sw为3.67μm(视盘全周)-10.58μm(鼻侧象限),CV为2.60%(视盘全周)-10.09%(鼻侧象限),ICC为0.768(鼻侧象限)-0.974(视盘全周)。Follow-up模式测量RNFL厚度,Sw为1.42μm(视盘全周)-3.31μm(鼻上扇区),CV为1.27%(视盘全周)-3.00%(鼻侧象限),ICC为0.982(鼻侧象限)-0.996(视盘全周)。Follow-up模式测量的重复性优于非Follow-up模式。结论利用SD-OCT测量盘周RNFL厚度,Follow-up模式的可重复性优于非Follow-up模式,达到了临床应用标准,可用于临床青光眼的检查和长期随访。
Objective To compare the reproducibility of retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness measured by No Follow-up and Follow-up patterns of high-resolution spectral domain-optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) in glaucoma. Methods A total of 38 eyes from 38 patients with glaucoma who admitted to the First Hospital, China Medical University were sequentially included. RNFL thickness was measured by No Follow-up or Follow-up patterns of SD- OCT. Within-subject standard deviation (Sw), coefficient of variation (CV), and intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) using the two measuring patterns were assessed. Results For RNFL thickness measured by No Follow-up pattern, Sw was 3.67 μm ( global average, G) to 10.58 μm (nasal, N), CV was 2.60% (G) to 10.09% (N), and ICC was 0.768 (N) to 0.974 (G). For RNFL thickness measured by Follow-up pattern, Sw was 1.42 μm (G) to 3.31 μm (superior-nasal, NS), CV was 1.27% (G) to 3.00% (N), and ICC was 0.982 (N) to 0.996 (G), respectively. Follow-up pattern had higher reproducibility for the measurements of RNFL thickness than No Follow-up pattern. Conclusion For the measurements of RNFL thickness, Follow-up pattern has higher reproducibility than No Follow-up pattern, indicating that RNFL thickness measured by Follow-up pattern of SD-OCT is a reliable tool for assessing longitudinal change and follow-up in glaucoma.
