Table 4. Diagnostic accuracy determined by computing the AUROCs, best sensitivity-specificity balance, likelihood ratios, and sensitivity at the fixed specificities for the optic nerve head parameters of OCT and HRT to discriminate between CON eyes with a glaucoma-like disc and glaucoma eyes.

OCT and HRT parameters AUROC 95% CI AUROCs P Value Cutoff Point Sensitivity (%) Specificity (%) +LR −LR Sensitivity
Specificity 90% Specificity 95%
BMO-anterior LC 0.754 0.610–0.866 0.0009 395 µm 73.33 79.41 3.56 0.34 33.33 13.33
Mean cupping depth 0.803 0.662–0.903 <0.0001 0.27 mm 85.71 67.65 2.65 0.21 41.43 14.29
Maximum cupping depth 0.829 0.692–0.922 <0.0001 0.6 mm 85.71 73.53 3.24 0.19 57.14 28.57

AUROC =  area under the receiver operating characteristic curve; OCT =  optical coherence tomography; HRT  =  Heidelberg Retina Tomography; CI =  confidence interval; +LR =  positive likelihood ratio; −LR =  negative likelihood ratio; BMO-anterior LC =  distance between Bruch's membrane opening and anterior surface of lamina cribrosa.

Note: The cutoff points were calculated using the MedCalc software as the points with the best sensitivity-specificity balance. Sensitivities at fixed specificities of 90% and 95% are shown.
