Crude and adjusted models comparing retinal nerve fiber layer thickness (RNFLT) global and regional measurements (μm) by race
| RNFLT Region | Crude | Adjusteda | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Parameter (SE) | Parameter (SE) | P-value | |
| Global | 5.7 (1.5) | 2.7 (1.7) | 0.12 |
| Temporal | −2.8 (1.7) | −4.4 (1.9) | 0.024 |
| Superotemporal | −6.4 (3.4) | −11.8 (3.6) | 0.0010 |
| Inferotemporal | 6.4 (3.2) | 1.8 (3.7) | 0.63 |
| Nasal | 5.5 (2.0) | 3.4 (2.2) | 0.12 |
| Superonasal | 24.4 (3.6) | 21.4 (4.0) | < 0.0001 |
| Inferonasal | 18.2 (3.4) | 13.5 (3.9) | 0.0006 |
Note: European descent is the referent group. Adjusteda includes the variables age, gender, and Bruch's membrane opening area. N=1 missing scan in African descent group, N=5 missing scans in European descent group.
Abbreviations: μm, Micrometers; SE, Standard Error.
