Discriminant Value of Custom Ocular Response Analyzer Waveform Derivatives in Forme Fruste Keratoconus.

ABSTRACT: To evaluate the performance of corneal hysteresis (CH), corneal resistance factor (CRF), 37 Ocular Response Analyzer (ORA) waveform parameters, and 15 investigator-derived ORA variables in differentiating forme fruste keratoconus (KC) from normal corneas.Case-control study.Seventy-eight eyes of 78 unaffected patients and 21 topographically normal eyes of 21 forme fruste KC patients with topographically manifest KC in the contralateral eye were matched for age, the thinnest point of the cornea, central corneal thickness, and maximum keratometry. Fifteen candidate variables were derived from exported ORA signals to characterize putative indicators of biomechanical behavior, and 37 waveform parameters were tested. Differences between groups were assessed by the Mann-Whitney test. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) was used to compare the diagnostic performance.Ten of 54 parameters reached significant differences between the groups (Mann-Whitney test, P < .05). Neither CRF nor CH differed significantly between the groups. Among the ORA waveform measurements, the best parameters were those related to the area under the first peak, p1area, and p1area1 (AUROC, 0.714 ± 0.064 and 0.721 ± 0.065, respectively). Among the investigator ORA variables, a measure incorporating the pressure-deformation relationship of the entire response cycle performed best (hysteresis loop area, AUROC, 0.694 ± 0.067).Waveform-derived ORA parameters, including a custom measure incorporating the pressure-deformation relationship of the entire response cycle, performed better than traditional CH and CRF parameters in differentiating forme fruste KC from normal corneas.

Project description:PurposeTo evaluate the performance of the Ocular Response Analyzer (ORA) (Reichert Ophthalmic Instruments, Depew, NY) variables and Pentacam HR (Oculus Optikgeräte GmbH, Wetzlar, Germany) tomographic parameters in differentiating forme fruste keratoconus (FFKC) from normal corneas, and to assess a combined biomechanical and tomographic parameter to improve outcomes.MethodsSeventy-six eyes of 76 normal patients and 21 eyes of 21 patients with FFKC were included in the study. Fifteen variables were derived from exported ORA signals to characterize putative indicators of biomechanical behavior and 37 ORA waveform parameters were tested. Sixteen tomographic parameters from Pentacam HR were tested. Logistic regression was used to produce a combined biomechanical and tomography linear model. Differences between groups were assessed by the Mann-Whitney U test. The area under the receiver operating characteristics curve (AUROC) was used to compare diagnostic performance.ResultsNo statistically significant differences were found in age, thinnest point, central corneal thickness, and maximum keratometry between groups. Twenty-one parameters showed significant differences between the FFKC and control groups. Among the ORA waveform measurements, the best parameters were those related to the area under the first peak, p1area1 (AUROC, 0.717 ± 0.065). Among the investigator ORA variables, a measure incorporating the pressure-deformation relationship of the entire response cycle was the best predictor (hysteresis loop area, AUROC, 0.688 ± 0.068). Among tomographic parameters, Belin/Ambrósio display showed the highest predictive value (AUROC, 0.91 ± 0.057). A combination of parameters showed the best result (AUROC, 0.953 ± 0.024) outperforming individual parameters.ConclusionsTomographic and biomechanical parameters demonstrated the ability to differentiate FFKC from normal eyes. A combination of both types of information further improved predictive value. [J Refract Surg. 2016;32(7):479-485.].

Project description:Purpose:The study aimed to evaluate the visual quality of forme fruste keratoconus (FFK) and mild and moderate keratoconus by using an optical quality analysis system II (OQAS-II) and to explore the correlation between optical quality parameters and the disease progression. Methods:Twenty-one normal eyes, twenty-one FFK eyes, twenty-one mild keratoconus eyes, and twenty-one moderate keratoconus eyes were included in this prospective study. The optical quality parameters, such as object scatter index (OSI), modulation transfer function cutoff (MTF cutoff), strehl ratio (SR), and OQAS-II values at contrasts of 100% (OV-100), 20% (OV-20), and 9% (OV-9), were measured by OQAS-II. The repeatability of these parameters was analyzed by intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC), repeatability coefficient (RC), and coefficient of variation (CVw). Correlations between optical quality parameters and mean central keratometry readings (K mean) were evaluated. The sensitivity and specificity of the parameters were analyzed using the receiver operating characteristic (ROC). Results:All the optical quality parameters among four groups showed good repeatability (all ICC?0.75). The MTF cutoff, SR, OV-100, OV-20, OV-9 in FFK, mild and moderate keratoconus eyes were significantly lower than those in the normal group (all P < 0.05). The ROC analyses of the MTF cutoff, SR, OV-100, OV-20, and OV-9 showed significant area under the curve (AUC) in discriminating FFK form normal, mild keratoconus from FFK, and moderate keratoconus from mild keratoconus (all P < 0.05). The ROC analyses of the MTF cutoff, SR, OV-100, OV-20, and OV-9 showed significant area under the curve (AUC) in discriminating FFK form normal, mild keratoconus from FFK, and moderate keratoconus from mild keratoconus (all P < 0.05). The ROC analyses of the MTF cutoff, SR, OV-100, OV-20, and OV-9 showed significant area under the curve (AUC) in discriminating FFK form normal, mild keratoconus from FFK, and moderate keratoconus from mild keratoconus (all P < 0.05). The ROC analyses of the MTF cutoff, SR, OV-100, OV-20, and OV-9 showed significant area under the curve (AUC) in discriminating FFK form normal, mild keratoconus from FFK, and moderate keratoconus from mild keratoconus (all P < 0.05). The ROC analyses of the MTF cutoff, SR, OV-100, OV-20, and OV-9 showed significant area under the curve (AUC) in discriminating FFK form normal, mild keratoconus from FFK, and moderate keratoconus from mild keratoconus (all K mean) were evaluated. The sensitivity and specificity of the parameters were analyzed using the receiver operating characteristic (ROC). r?=?-0.710, P < 0.05). The ROC analyses of the MTF cutoff, SR, OV-100, OV-20, and OV-9 showed significant area under the curve (AUC) in discriminating FFK form normal, mild keratoconus from FFK, and moderate keratoconus from mild keratoconus (all. Conclusion:The repeatability of OQAS-II is good in measuring visual quality of normal as well as FFK, mild, and moderate keratoconus. The visual quality of the FFK, mild, and moderate keratoconus is worse than that in normal eyes. The OQAS-II has the potential value in screening FFK from normal eyes and might be a useful tool for evaluating the progression of keratoconus.
