Metho ds: Data were obtained from a prospective study of glaucoma patients tested with static automated perimetry and confocal scanning laser tomography every 6 month s. Progression was determined using a trend based approach called evidence of ch ange (EOC) analysis in which sectoral ordinal scores based on the significance o f regression coefficients of visual field pattern deviation and neuroretinal rim area over time are summed. Visual field progression was also determined using t he event based glaucoma change probability (GCP) analysis using both total and p attern deviation. Results: The sample contained 101 eyes of 54 patients (mean (S D) age 56.5 (9.8) years) with a mean follow up of 9.2 (0.7) years and 20.7 (2.3) sets of examinations every 6 months. Lower CCT was associated with worse baseli ne visual fields and lower mean IOP in the follow up. In the longitudinal analys is CCT was not correlated with the EOC scores for visual field or optic disc cha nge. In the GCP analyses, there was a tendency for groups classified as progress ing to have lower CCT compared to nonprogressing groups. In a multivariate analy ses accounting for IOP, the opposite was found, whereby higher CCT was associate d with visual field progression. None of the independent factors were predictive of optic disc progression. Conclusions: In this cohort of patients with establi shed glaucoma, CCT was not a useful index in the risk assessment of visual field and optic disc progression.展开更多
