Abstract

Aim: To establish the diagnostic accuracy of corneal and epithelial thickness measurements obtained by spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) in detecting keratoconus (KC) and suspect keratoconus (SKC).

Methods: This retrospective study reviewed the data of 144 eyes separated into three groups by the Sirius automated corneal classification software: normal (N) (n = 65), SKC (n = 43), and KC (n = 36). Corneal thickness (CT) and epithelial thickness (ET) in the central (0-2 mm) and paracentral (2-5 mm) zones were obtained with the Cirrus high-definition OCT. Areas under the curve (AUC) of receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curves were compared across groups to estimate their discrimination capacity.

Results: ROC curve analysis revealed excellent predictive ability for ET variables: minimum (Min) ET (0_2), minimum-maximum (Min-Max) ET (0_2), superonasal-inferotemporal (SN-IT) ET (2_5), Min-Max ET (2_5), and Min ET (2_5) to detect keratoconus (AUC > 0.9, all). Min-Max CT (0_2) was the only CT parameter with excellent ability to discriminate between KC and N eyes (AUC = 0.94; cutoff = ≤-32 μm). However, both ET and CT variables were not strong enough (AUC < 0.8, all) to differentiate between SKC and N eyes, with the highest diagnostic power for Min-Max ET (2_5) (AUC = 0.71; cutoff = ≤-9 μm) and central corneal thickness (CCT) (AUC = 0.76; cutoff = ≤533 μm).

Conclusion: These results demonstrate that OCT-derived CT and ET are able to differentiate between KC and N eyes, with a high level of certainty. However, Min-Max ET (2_5) was the parameter with the highest ability to detect suspect keratoconus.

角膜和上皮厚度图参数检测角膜和疑似角膜的诊断准确性。
目的:建立光谱域光学相干断层扫描(SD-OCT)角膜和上皮厚度测量对圆锥角膜(KC)和可疑圆锥角膜(SKC)的诊断准确性 = 65),SKC(n = 43)和KC(n = 36)。角膜厚度(CT)和中央上皮厚度(ET)(0-2 mm)和中央旁(2-5 mm)区域。将受试者-操作者特征(ROC)曲线的曲线下面积(AUC)在各组之间进行比较,以估计其辨别能力。结果:ROC曲线分析显示,ET变量具有良好的预测能力:最小(Min)ET(0_2)、最小-最大(Min-Max > 0.9)。最小最大CT(0_2)是唯一一个具有良好区分KC和N眼能力的CT参数(AUC = 0.94;切断 = ≤-32 μm)。然而,ET和CT变量都不够强(AUC μm)和中央角膜厚度(CCT)(AUC) = 0.76;切断 = ≤533 μm)。结论:这些结果表明OCT衍生的CT和ET能够以高水平的确定性区分KC和N眼。然而,最小-最大ET(2_5)是检测可疑圆锥角膜能力最高的参数。
