Repeatability of In Vivo Corneal Confocal Microscopy to Quantify Corneal Nerve Morphology

Abstract: This study demonstrates good repeatability for the manual assessment of all major corneal NF parameters with the exception of NBD, which highlights the difficulty in defining nerve branches and suggests the need for experienced observers or automated image analysis to ensure optimal repeatability.

“…Concerns regarding the use of IVCCM have focused on the reproducibility 19,20 of the technique, its ability to prospectively assess neuropathy, and the absence of an automated image analysis system to allow objective corneal nerve quantification. The latter is essential to eliminate inconsistencies, produce comparable outcomes across centers, and enable the deployment of IVCCM for diagnosis, and as a surrogate endpoint in clinical trials of diabetic neuropathy.…”

“…This technique is considered to be a simple, rapid, noninvasive, reiterative, and costeffective approach for quantifying small-nerve fiber loss (8). CCM has been shown to be capable of detecting (4) and stratifying the severity (5) of DPN and demonstrating good diagnostic utility (85% sensitivity, 84% specificity) (4) and repeatability (9). CCM is able to track the recovery of DPN after interventions such as improving risk factors for DPN (10), simultaneous pancreas and kidney transplantation (11), and continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (12).…”

“…прошлого века и позволяет оценить на микроструктурном уровне состояние всех слоев оболочки [21,22]. Этим методом на клеточном уровне выявляют различные виды эпителиопатии, нерв-ные волокна и сплетения, микрострии, явление гомо-генизации стромы, зоны с нарушением прозрачности и рубцевания, что можно использовать для диагностики ДПН [23,24].…”
