To investigate the longitudinal change of localised retinal nerve fibre layer (RNFL) defects associated with change of ß-zone parapapillary atrophy (PPA) in primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) eyes.
POAG patients with a localised RNFL defect and ß-zone PPA who had undergone disc/RNFL photography at 1-year intervals for 10 years or longer were enrolled. The topographic parameters of ß-zone PPA (area, maximal radial extent and angular extent around disc) were measured. Progression of RNFL defect was defined as widening of defect and/or appearance of new defect. The factors associated with progression of RNFL defect were assessed by OR using multivariable logistic regression.
A total of 209 patients (209 eyes) with POAG were included (mean: 54 years old). Over the course of 11.5±2.3-year follow-up period, progression of RNFL defect was detected in 114 eyes (54.5%). Enlargement of PPA parameters (area and angular extent) was significantly more common in patients with RNFL defect progression than in eyes without progression (all p<0.001, respectively). Widening of radial extent did not show a significant difference in both groups (p=0.61). Increment of angular extent was in the direction of RNFL defect progression in 82.1% of eyes. Progression of RNFL defect was significantly associated with disc haemorrhage (OR: 6.653, p<0.001), enlargement of PPA area (OR: 4.114, p=0.004) and angular extent (OR: 6.572, p<0.001).
Progression of RNFL defect is associated with increment of angular extent of PPA in POAG eyes.
研究原发性开角型青光眼(POAG)患者局限性视网膜神经纤维层(RNFL)缺损与β-区旁视盘萎缩(PPA)变化相关的纵向变化。
纳入了具有局限性 RNFL 缺损和β-区 PPA 的 POAG 患者,这些患者在 10 年或更长时间内每隔 1 年接受 1 次眼底/RNFL 摄影检查。测量β-区 PPA 的拓扑参数(面积、最大放射状延伸和围绕视盘的角度延伸)。RNFL 缺损进展定义为缺损变宽和/或出现新的缺损。使用多变量逻辑回归的 OR 评估与 RNFL 缺损进展相关的因素。
共纳入 209 例(209 只眼)POAG 患者(平均年龄:54 岁)。在 11.5±2.3 年的随访期间,114 只眼(54.5%)检测到 RNFL 缺损进展。与无进展组相比,RNFL 缺损进展患者的 PPA 参数(面积和角度延伸)增大更为常见(均 p<0.001)。两组之间放射状延伸的扩大没有显著差异(p=0.61)。82.1%的眼的角度延伸增量与 RNFL 缺损进展方向一致。RNFL 缺损进展与视盘出血(OR:6.653,p<0.001)、PPA 面积(OR:4.114,p=0.004)和角度延伸(OR:6.572,p<0.001)增大显著相关。
POAG 眼中 RNFL 缺损的进展与 PPA 角度延伸的增加有关。
