PG - 19-25 LID - S0002-9394(19)30539-2 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.ajo.2019.10.034 [doi] AB - PURPOSE: To assess short- and long-term variability on standard automated perimetry (SAP) and spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) in glaucoma. DESIGN: Prospective cohort. METHODS: Ordinary least squares linear regression of SAP mean deviation (MD) and SD-OCT global retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness were fitted over time for sequential tests conducted within 5 weeks (short-term testing) and annually (long-term testing). Residuals were obtained by subtracting the predicted and observed values, and each patient's standard deviation (SD) of the residuals was used as a measure of variability. Wilcoxon signed-rank test was performed to test the hypothesis of equality between short- and long-term variability. RESULTS: A total of 43 eyes of 43 glaucoma subjects were included. Subjects had a mean 4.5 +/- 0.8 SAP and OCT tests for short-term variability assessment. For long-term variability, the same number of tests were performed and results annually collected over an average of 4.0 +/- 0.8 years. The average SD of the residuals was significantly higher in the long-term than in the short-term period for both tests: 1.05 +/- 0.70 dB vs. 0.61 +/- 0.34 dB, respectively (P < 0.001) for SAP MD and 1.95 +/- 1.86 mum vs. 0.81 +/- 0.56 mum, respectively (P < 0.001) for SD-OCT RNFL thickness. CONCLUSIONS: Long-term variability was higher than short-term variability on SD-OCT and SAP. Because current event-based algorithms for detection of glaucoma progression on SAP and SD-OCT have relied on short-term variability data to establish their normative databases, these algorithms may be underestimating the variability in the long-term and thus may overestimate progression over time.
