Table 2.

Correlations between different measures of neuroretinal rim area and four outcome measures, in a cohort of 221 subjects.

CSLT Rim Area Horizontal Rim Area Minimum Rim Width Minimum Rim Area
MD 0.321 0.403 0.546 0.534
MD1/C 0.294 0.343 0.489 0.471
MD1/C(cap) 0.305 0.374 0.526 0.505
RNFL thickness 0.330 0.482 0.680 0.676

CSLT Rim Area represents the rim area from confocal scanning laser tomography; Horizontal Rim Area represents the rim area within the plane of Bruch's Membrane Opening using spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT); Minimum Rim Width represents the width from Bruch's Membrane Opening to the Inner Limiting Membrane, tangentially perpendicular, using SD-OCT, averaged across radial scans; Minimum Rim Area represents the minimum area from Bruch's Membrane Opening to the Inner Limiting Membrane from SD-OCT, summed across sectors as defined by the radial scans. MD represents the Mean Deviation from perimetry in dB; MD1/C represents the average total deviation expressed on a scale that is proportional to 1/Contrast; MD1/C(cap) is calculated the same as MD1/C but after capping all total deviation values at zero to reduce variability; and RNFL thickness represents the average peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer thickness as measured by OCT.
