RESUMEN
Purpose: To assess the comparability of ocular biometry measurements and refractive outcomes between ANTERION and IOL Master 700. Methods: This comparative prospective study was conducted from December 2020 to February 2021. A total of 225 patients who had cataracts were enrolled for the study and different parameters such as anterior keratometry (Steep K, Flat K) with axis, Sim K, central corneal thickness (CCT), aqueous depth (AQD), lens thickness (LT), and axial length (AL), white?to?white (WTW) were evaluated in IOL master 700 first and then with ANTERION. Finally, 203 patients completed the 6?week follow?up and the postoperative refraction was done at the 6th week. To assess the agreement between the devices, intraclass coefficient (ICC) and Bland–Altman analysis with 95% limits of agreement (LoA) were used. To analyze the agreement for postoperative residual refractive error between the two devices, Kappa statistics were used. Results: The mean difference for steep K, flat K, and Sim K between ANTERION and IOL Master 700 were ? 0.18 +/?0.26 D, ?0.13+/? 0.28D, ?0.15 +/?0.23, respectively. The CCT, ACD, and LT also showed excellent agreement (ICC > 0.9) but the similarity for the keratometry axis was not up to the mark (ICC = 0.794). For postoperative refractive outcomes, the Kappa value was 0.437, indicating moderate agreement. Conclusion: ANTERION showed a good agreement for the majority of parameters with IOLMaster 700 in measuring ocular biometry, except for the keratometry. The accuracy of the intraocular lens power calculations was clinically acceptable with both biometers though the IOL power given by ANTERION remained slightly on the hypermetropic side.
RESUMEN
PURPOSE: To evaluate the agreement between optical biometry with swept-source optical coherence tomography-based optical biometry (IOLMaster 700) and other devices. METHODS: A total of 137 eyes (78 patients) with cataracts were included in this retrospective study. Axial length (AL), anterior chamber depth (ACD), keratometry, and white-to-white (WTW) distance measured using IOLMaster 700 were compared with results for the following five different biometers: IOLMaster 500, A-scan, automated refractor, manual keratometry, and Galilei G4. Differences and correlations among the devices were assessed using the Bland-Altman plot and intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC). RESULTS: For AL values, the IOLMaster 700, IOLMaster 500, and A-scan measurements showed excellent agreement (all ICC >0.99). For ACD values, ICC of IOLMaster 700 and Galilei G4 was 0.965 but A-scan was poorly correlated with either IOLMaster 700 or Galilei G4. The ICCs of IOLMaster 700 and other devices were all greater than 0.9 for average keratometry, but those of the mean cylinder keratometry were all between 0.7 and 0.8. The mean difference in the WTW distance between the IOLMaster 700 and Galilei G4 was 0.029 mm, but the ICC was 0.525. AL measurements were not possible for 10 eyes with the IOLMaster 500 but were obtained in all eyes with the IOLMaster 700. CONCLUSIONS: In clinical practice, AL, ACD, and average keratometry values of IOLMaster 700 can be used interchangeably with those of the other devices tested. However, the ACD value between IOLMaster 700 and A-scan or the WTW distance between IOLMaster 700 and Galilei G4 are not interchangeable because of clinical and statistical differences in measurements between the devices.
