ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
The novel optic neuritis (ON) diagnostic criteria include intereye differences (IED) of optical coherence tomography (OCT) parameters. IED has proven valuable for ON diagnosis in multiple sclerosis but has not been evaluated in aquaporin-4 antibody seropositive neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders (AQP4+NMOSD). We evaluated the diagnostic accuracy of intereye absolute (IEAD) and percentage difference (IEPD) in AQP4+NMOSD after unilateral ON >6 months before OCT as compared with healthy controls (HC).METHODS:
Twenty-eight AQP4+NMOSD after unilateral ON (NMOSD-ON), 62 HC and 45 AQP4+NMOSD without ON history (NMOSD-NON) were recruited by 13 centres as part of the international Collaborative Retrospective Study on retinal OCT in Neuromyelitis Optica study. Mean thickness of peripapillary retinal nerve fibre layer (pRNFL) and macular ganglion cell and inner plexiform layer (GCIPL) were quantified by Spectralis spectral domain OCT. Threshold values of the ON diagnostic criteria (pRNFL IEAD 5 µm, IEPD 5%; GCIPL IEAD 4 µm, IEPD 4%) were evaluated using receiver operating characteristics and area under the curve (AUC) metrics.RESULTS:
The discriminative power was high for NMOSD-ON versus HC for IEAD (pRNFL AUC 0.95, specificity 82%, sensitivity 86%; GCIPL AUC 0.93, specificity 98%, sensitivity 75%) and IEPD (pRNFL AUC 0.96, specificity 87%, sensitivity 89%; GCIPL AUC 0.94, specificity 96%, sensitivity 82%). The discriminative power was high/moderate for NMOSD-ON versus NMOSD-NON for IEAD (pRNFL AUC 0.92, specificity 77%, sensitivity 86%; GCIP AUC 0.87, specificity 85%, sensitivity 75%) and for IEPD (pRNFL AUC 0.94, specificity 82%, sensitivity 89%; GCIP AUC 0.88, specificity 82%, sensitivity 82%).CONCLUSIONS:
Results support the validation of the IED metrics as OCT parameters of the novel diagnostic ON criteria in AQP4+NMOSD.Palavras-chave
