- Abstract
Purpose: To determine intra- and inter-rater agreement of anterior lamina cribrosa depth (ALCD) manual measurements using enhanced-depth imaging optical coherence tomography (EDI-OCT). Methods: Observational study. EDIOCT of the optic nerve head was performed in healthy subjects. ALCD was defined as the perpendicular distance between the line connecting both edges of Bruch's membrane opening and the anterior border of the lamina cribrosa (LC), at the maximum depth point. Two experienced operators performed manual ALCD measurements of the LC independently, and one of the observers performed the same measurements twice. Intra- and inter-rater agreement was evaluated using intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC) and concordance correlation coefficients (CCC) for the right eye vertical (REV) and horizontal (REH) scans and left eye vertical (LEV) and horizontal (LEH) scans. Results: 120 eyes of 61 subjects, with a mean age of 62.1 ± 15.0 years. The mean REV, REH, LEV and LEH ALCD were 456.2 ± 84.3, 444.5 ± 92.2, 436.7 ± 81.6, 427.6 ± 82.7 µm, respectively. ALCD intra- and interrater ICC and intra- and inter-rater CCC varied between 0.85-0.95, 0.84-0.93, 0.85-0.95 and 0.84-0.93, respectively. Conclusions: ALCD manual intra- and inter-rater measurements with EDI-OCT showed high agreement. EDI-OCT is a reliable tool for ALCD measurement, which can provide potentially useful information for integrated glaucoma management.
