An evaluation of algorithms designed to classify the results from frequency doubling perimetry

All previously published algorithms for the interpretation of frequency doubling perimetry test results were compared in full‐threshold mode in a large group of glaucoma patients (n = 452) and normal subjects (n = 237). Areas under the receiver–operating characteristic (ROC) curve ranged from 0.86 t...

Description
Summary:All previously published algorithms for the interpretation of frequency doubling perimetry test results were compared in full‐threshold mode in a large group of glaucoma patients (n = 452) and normal subjects (n = 237). Areas under the receiver–operating characteristic (ROC) curve ranged from 0.86 to 0.92. None of the algorithms performed substantially better than simply counting the number of defects p 1 defect, and an area under the ROC curve of 0.92.
