Table 2.

Cells contain beta coefficients (with P values in parentheses) from ordinary linear regression (transformed composite score) or odds ratios from ordinal logistic regression (subscales). For the visual field and visual acuity (VA) variables, the results represent the effect of the predictor variable moving toward better vision; best Mean Deviation (MD) being 1dB higher, best Pattern Standard Deviation (PSD) being 1dB lower and best logMAR VA being 0.1 (1 line) better. For age and sex, the effect is associated with being one decade younger and being male respectively. For the subscales, the risk ratios denote the probability of being in the next higher ordered level for the changes in the predictors just given. Analyses that were significant at the P≤0.05 level are shown in bold type.
