Table 4. Associations Between Glaucoma Progression and Systemic Parameters in Multivariate Logistic Regression Analysis.
| Baseline systemic parameters | Progression from POAG suspect to definite POAG | |||
| Odds Ratio | 95% Cl | P-Value | ||
| Age (years) | 1.07 | 1.03 | 1.10 | 0.011 |
| Intraocular pressure (mmHg) | 1.10 | 1.01 | 1.24 | 0.037 |
| Body Mass Index (kg/m2) | 1.15 | 1.03 | 1.31 | 0.029 |
| Level of Education | 1.57 | 1.05 | 2.17 | 0.017 |
| Anti-coagulant (yes/no) | 1.13 | 0.83 | 1.43 | 0.092 |
| Hematocrit (%) | 1.22 | 1.08 | 1.43 | 0.008 |
| Eosinophil (%) | 1.39 | 1.12 | 1.85 | 0.103 |
POAG = primary open-angle glaucoma; CI = confidence interval; Hct = hematocrit.
