Abstract

Purpose: To study the correlation between uncorrected distance visual acuity (UCVA) and myopic refractive error among school-aged children.

Methods: The North India Myopia study is a prospective cohort study in which school children were screened for refractive error. These children were subsequently followed up to note the incidence and progression of myopia. The methodology of the study is as previously described. Children with UCVA < 3/60 were excluded for this analysis, since they are more likely to be associated with other ocular pathologies.

Results: Of the 9884 children screened, 1463 children fulfilled the inclusion criteria for this analysis. UCVA was plotted against the mean prescribed Spherical equivalent (SE), with a 95% confidence interval. Marginal predictions of prescribed power according to UCVA were calculated using linear regression, enabling the development of a nomogram to estimate the closest SE based on UCVA.

Conclusion: There is a steady correlation between the UCVA and degree of myopic refractive error among school going children. This correlation has been utilized to develop this nomogram that may help predict myopic refractive error on the basis of uncorrected visual acuity. Large scale studies are needed for the validation of this nomogram in different populations.

大规模儿童近视筛查与干预的预测Nomogram。

目的：探讨学龄儿童未矫正距离视力（UCVA）与近视屈光不正的相关性。方法：北印度近视研究是一项前瞻性队列研究，对在校儿童进行屈光不正筛查。随后对这些儿童进行随访，以记录近视的发生率和进展情况。本研究的方法如前所述。UCVA < 3/60的儿童被排除在本分析之外，因为他们更有可能与其他眼部病变相关。结果：在9884名筛查儿童中，1463名儿童符合本分析的纳入标准。UCVA与规定的平均球面等效（SE）绘制，置信区间为95%。根据UCVA计算规定功率的边际预测，使用线性回归计算，从而可以开发一个nomogram来估计基于UCVA的最接近SE。结论：学龄儿童近视屈光不正程度与UCVA有稳定的相关性。这种相关性已被用于开发这种nomogram，它可能有助于在未矫正视力的基础上预测近视屈光不正。需要大规模的研究来验证不同人群的nomogram。
