To determine the association of Diopsys® NOVA-LX amplitude and latency abnormality scores with perimetric staging of chronic glaucoma, and to explore potential single-visit short-duration transient visual evoked potential (SD-tVEP) trend detection ability utilizing Humphrey 30-2 field progression data.
Glaucoma subspecialty clinic. Treated adult chronic glaucoma patients undergoing SD-tVEP evaluation. (1) Proportion of eyes designated as suspect or abnormal by the NOVA-LX multifactorial algorithm were determined as a function of glaucoma severity using the most recent Humphrey visual field analyzer (HVFA) 30-2 field. (2) Association between long-term HVFA-guided progression analysis (GPA) annual slopes and SD-tVEP abnormality was assessed to determine whether a single VEP test might help to identify eyes more prone to progressive visual field (VF) loss.
One hundred and thirty-three eyes of 84 patients (mean age 68 years) were analyzed. The SD-tVEP abnormality increased proportionately with severity of VF loss under high-contrast (Hc) test conditions for both latency (p = 0.001) and amplitude (p < 0.01). The HVFA progression analysis printouts existed for 91 eyes (mean 12.3 fields per eye/range 5-18). Nearly three-quarters (72.5%) of eyes with mean annual HVFA progression >0.7 dB/year (n = 29) had single-visit VEP latency abnormalities. Fewer than half (46.7%) of the remainder (n = 62) showed latency abnormality. Mean progression for eyes with abnormal normal VEP latency was -0.87 ± 0.3 dB/year -0.32 ± 0.4 dB/year.
Diopsys NOVA-LX Hc latency abnormality shows strong association with VF loss among a diverse population of clinical patients undergoing active treatment for chronic glaucoma, and appears likely to afford clinically useful trend-detecting test.
The SD-tVEP has the potential to serve as a single-visit clinical indicator to identify glaucoma patients at high risk for VF progression. Trevino R, Sponsel WE, Majcher CE, Allen J, Rabin J.

确定Diopsys® NOVA-LX振幅和潜伏期异常评分与慢性青光眼视野分期之间的关联,并利用Humphrey 30-2视野进展数据探索单次短持续时间瞬态视觉诱发电位(SD-tVEP)趋势检测的潜在能力。
青光眼专科诊所。接受SD-tVEP评估的成年慢性青光眼患者。(1)使用最新的Humphrey视野分析仪(HVFA)30-2视野,根据青光眼严重程度确定被NOVA-LX多因素算法判定为可疑或异常的眼睛比例。(2)评估长期HVFA引导的进展分析(GPA)年度斜率与SD-tVEP异常之间的关联,以确定单次VEP测试是否有助于识别更容易发生视野(VF)丧失的眼睛。
分析了84例患者(平均年龄68岁)的133只眼睛。在高对比度(Hc)测试条件下,潜伏期(p = 0.001)和振幅(p < 0.01)的SD-tVEP异常均与VF丧失的严重程度成比例增加。91只眼睛有HVFA进展分析打印结果(每只眼睛平均12.3次视野/范围5-18次)。平均年度HVFA进展>0.7 dB/年的眼睛中近四分之三(72.5%,n = 29)单次VEP潜伏期异常。其余眼睛(n = 62)中不到一半(46.7%)显示潜伏期异常。VEP潜伏期异常与正常的眼睛的平均进展分别为-0.87±0.3 dB/年和-0.32±0.4 dB/年。
在接受慢性青光眼积极治疗的不同临床患者群体中,Diopsys NOVA-LX Hc潜伏期异常与VF丧失密切相关,并且似乎可能提供临床上有用的趋势检测测试。
SD-tVEP有可能作为单次临床指标,以识别有VF进展高风险的青光眼患者。Trevino R,Sponsel WE,Majcher CE,Allen J,Rabin J。Diopsys®短持续时间瞬态视觉诱发电位潜伏期与慢性青光眼视野进展的关联。《当代青光眼实践杂志》2018;12(1):29-35。
