Abstract
Purpose
To compare the usefulness of microperimetry and static automated perimetry in patients with retinitis pigmentosa (RP), using macular anatomical metrics as a reference.
Design
Prospective observational study.
Participants
Forty-eight eyes of 48 patients with RP in Kyushu University Hospital who underwent microperimetry-3 (MP-3) and Humphrey Field Analyzer (HFA) 10-2 testing ≥3 times during ≥2 years were included.
Methods
Macular anatomy (ellipsoid zone [EZ] length) was assessed by OCT, and macular function was assessed by MP-3 (mean retinal sensitivity at radii 2°, 4°, and 8°) and HFA10-2 program (mean retinal sensitivity at radii 2°, 4°, and 8°). Correlations between functional and anatomical parameters were analyzed cross sectionally at baseline and longitudinally by comparing the rate of progression.
Main Outcome Measures
Correlation coefficients between anatomical and functional metrics.
Results
The mean age at baseline was 50.1 ± 12.3 years, and the mean follow-up period was 2.8 ± 0.7 years. At baseline, EZ length was significantly correlated with MP-3 mean retinal sensitivity at radii 2°, 4°, and 8° (Spearman’s ρ = 0.65, 0.84, 0.89; all P < 0.005) and HFA10-2 mean retinal sensitivity at radii 2°, 4°, and 8° (Spearman’s ρ = 0.61, 0.73, 0.78; all P < 0.005). Longitudinal analysis showed that the slope of EZ length (−88.92 μm/year) was significantly correlated with the slope of MP-3 retinal sensitivity at 8° radius (−0.62 decibels [dB]/year; Spearman’s ρ = 0.31, P=0.03) and the slope of HFA retinal sensitivity at 8° radius (−0.60 dB/year; Spearman’s ρ = 0.43, P < 0.005).
Conclusions
Both MP-3 and HFA values were cross sectionally well-correlated with EZ length in patients with patients; however, these associations became weaker in the longitudinal analysis. This highlights the need for researchers to explore additional or more sensitive parameters to better monitor RP progression.
