This table shows the correlation between pRNFL thickness and glaucoma diagnosis illustrated by Spearman correlation calculation and results from logistic regression of the peripapillary retinal nerve fibre layer (pRNFL) thickness measured by scanning laser polarimetry (SLP) and optical coherence tomography (OCT). r, Spearman correlation factor; CI, confidence interval; R2, Tjur’s pseudo R2 factor; statistically significant results when p < 0.05 (bold and underlined)
