Fovea-to-disc distance, location of the superior and inferior peaks of the cpRNFL thickness curve, and estimated axial length all correlated with RNFL thickness more so than age and disc area in a new study.
The inflammatory retinal condition presented a central-to-peripheral gradient of improvement that may suggest specific peripapillary vulnerabilities, researchers suggest.
Patients with low glomerular filtration rates and high glycated hemoglobin levels fared worse in this study, highlighting the need for continuous monitoring of systemic health.
Using AI to characterize the ‘fractal dimension’—or branching patterns—of the vasculature yielded associations with disease prevalence in adults of all ages.
Understanding these features may help disease diagnosis in Asian populations. Patients with the former subtype were significantly younger, predominantly male and had a slower progression rate.
