Discordance across the applied classification systems in a three-category interpretation.

Three Continent AMD Consortium Severity Scale
No AMD, n “Any early” AMDb, n Late AMD, n Total, n
Clinical Classification No AMD, n 525 0 0 525
“Any early or intermediate” AMDa, n 277 175 0 452
Late AMD, n 0 0 63 63

Shown are cross-tabulated number of participants by AMD status for the Clinical Classification9 and the Three Continent AMD Consortium Severity Scale10 using the three categories “no AMD”, “any early or intermediate AMD”, and “late AMD”.

Abbreviations: AMD = age-related macular degeneration;

aFor the Clinical Classification collapsing early AMD and intermediate AMD.

bFor the Three Continent AMD Consortium Severity Scale, collapsing mild early AMD, moderate early AMD, and severe early AMD to “any early” AMD.
