Mean (95% CI) | Sw ± 1.96 se | CV % | ICC (95% CI) | Mean (95% CI) | Sw ± 1.96 se | CV % | ICC (95% CI) | |
TEMP (µm) | 80.6 (77.4 to 83.8) | 2.82 ± 0.52 | 3.54 | 0.92 (0.88 to 0.95) | 71.2 (68.7 to 73.8) | 3.36 ± 0.7 | 4.72 | 0.86 (0.81 to 0.91) |
SUP (µm) | 120.6 (117 to 124.3) | 3.8 ± 0.57 | 3.16 | 0.91 (0.86 to 0.94) | 103.2 (99.6 to 106.8) | 3.67 ± 0.59 | 3.53 | 0.93 (0.89 to 0.95) |
NAS (µm) | 75.8 (72.9 to 78.7) | 2.94 ± 0.44 | 3.88 | 0.91 (0.86 to 0.94) | 68.6 (66.2 to 71.1) | 3.22 ± 0.52 | 4.6 | 0.88 (0.83 to 0.92) |
INF (µm) | 134.3 (129.7 to 138.9) | 3.53 ± 0.55 | 2.65 | 0.95 (0.92 to 0.97) | 113.2 (108.9 to 117.4) | 3.21 ± 0.48 | 2.87 | 0.96 (0.94 to 0.97) |
AVG (µm) | 102.8 (100.1 to 105.6) | 1.57 ± 0.27 | 1.54 | 0.97 (0.95 to 0.98) | 89.1 (86.5 to 91.7) | 1.69 ± 0.23 | 1.9 | 0.97 (0.96 to 0.98) |
AVG = average quadrant; CI = confidence interval; CV = coefficient of variation; ICC = intraclass correlation coefficient; INF = inferior quadrant; NAS = nasal quadrant; SUP = superior quadrant; Sw = within-subjects standard deviation; RNFL = retinal nerve fiber layer; TEMP = temporal quadrant.
Reproducibility is expressed as the Sw, the ICC, and the CV. Sw is defined as the square root of the within-subject variance (defined as the within-subjects sum of squares divided by its degrees of freedom). CV is calculated as the square root of the residual mean squared values of 3 measures, divided by mean.
