ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
To evaluate the ability of qualitative signs for glaucoma diagnosis, both alone and in combination, to discriminate between eyes with and without glaucomatous visual field damage. Furthermore, we investigated whether the characteristic optic disc changes in primary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG) differ from those in primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG).METHODS:
Using color polaroid optic disc photographs, we examined 10 qualitative signs in 177 patients with PACG, 184 patients with POAG, and 181 normal subjects.RESULTS:
Rim notches and rim shape alteration were found more frequently in patients with POAG than in those with PACG (p-6 dB) of the PACG and POAG groups, the best qualitative sign was rim shape alteration, and area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was 0.696 and 0.768, respectively. The area under the ROC curve for the combination of qualitative signs was 0.802 and 0.918, respectively.CONCLUSIONS:
These results suggest that glaucomatous disc damage was less pronounced in the PACG eyes than in the POAG eyes with similar visual field damage. A combination of the qualitative signs of optic disc using multiple logistic regression modelling improved the diagnostic ability.
