Evaluation of Optical Coherence Tomography Central Retinal Thickness Parameters for use as Anatomic Outcomes in Clinical Trials for Neovascular Age-Related Macular Degeneration
Purpose: To investigate the relationship between automated and manually-derived measurements of central retinal thickness from optical coherence tomography (OCT), and to determine the relationship between foveal center point (FCP) and foveal central subfield (FCS), in neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Methods: Data from 216 patients newly diagnosed with neovascular AMD, who underwent StratusOCT imaging at diagnosis, were collected. Raw StratusOCT images for each patient were analyzed using publicly available custom software entitled "OCTOR", which allows accurate manual grading of OCT B-scans. Manually-derived central retinal thickness measurements were compared to measurements obtained from automated StratusOCT analysis. Manually obtained measurements of FCP ...
