Combining retinal neuronal and microvascular measurements improves discriminative power for multiple sclerosis patients without previous optic neuritis
Abstract:Purpose: Quantitative thinning of optic nerves and changes in retinal microvasculature have been detected in multiple sclerosis patients without optic neuritis (MSNON). However, data on how both retinal neuronal and microvascular parameters jointly influence the diagnostic performance is lacking. To investigate the diagnostic performance of neuronal and microvascular changes to detect the presence of MSNON from normal controls.
Methods: This is a cross‐sectional study of 51 MS participants (n = 76 eyes) and 71… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
