“…The association between localized RNFLDs, and glaucoma and diabetic retinopathy also was described in cross-sectional studies. [3][4][5]13,17,20,21 The association between localized RNFLDs and arterial hypertension or cerebrovascular stroke has not often been described yet. 22,23 Kim et al 22 examined 4395 Korean subjects who underwent health checkups, including brain magnetic resonance imaging and fundus photography.…”

“…The RNFL has conventionally been examined by ophthalmoscopy or on color fundus photographs. [1][2][3][4][5] The visibility of the RNFL shows a specific pattern with usually the best visibility in the temporal inferior arcade, followed by the temporal superior arcade, nasal superior arcade, and nasal inferior arcade. 6 The distribution of the RNFL visibility correlates with the thickness of the RNFL as measured by histomorphometry or confocal scanning laser tomography, with the diameter of the retinal arterioles, and with the normal shape of the neuroretinal rim.…”

PURPOSE. We examined the 10-year incidence of localized retinal nerve fiber layer defects (RNFLDs) and associated factors in adult Chinese.METHODS. The population-based longitudinal Beijing Eye Study, which included 4439 subjects (age, 40þ years) in 2001, was repeated in 2011 with 2695 subjects participating (66.4% of the survivors). Color fundus photographs taken at baseline and 10 years later were examined for localized RNFLDs, defined as wedge-shaped defects running toward the optic disc.RESULTS. Fundus photographs were available for 2422 (89.9%) subjects. Incident-localized RNFLDs were detected in 114/2422 persons (4.7% 6 0.2%) or 139/4867 eyes (2.9% 6 0.2%). A total of 25 (22%) persons had incident-localized RNFLDs bilaterally, and 89 (78%) persons unilaterally. Among the 114 persons with incident RNFLDs, 78 persons showed newly developed localized RNFLDs, while 36 subjects showed an enlargement of a preexisting localized RNFLD. In binary logistic regression analysis, a higher 10-year incidence of localized RNFLDs was significantly associated with a higher prevalence of arterial hypertension (P ¼ 0.002; odds ratio [OR], 2.31; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.35, 3.97), higher diastolic blood pressure (P ¼ 0.02; OR, 1.02; 95% CI, 1.004,1.04), higher prevalence of previous cerebrovascular infarctions (P ¼ 0.007; OR, 2.61; 95% CI, 1.30, 5.22), younger age (P ¼ 0.01; OR, 0.97; 95% CI, 0.94, 0.99), higher prevalence of diabetic retinopathy (P ¼ 0.001; OR, 4.70; 95% CI, 1.92, 11.5), higher prevalence of open-angle (P < 0.001; OR, 39.8; 95% CI, 19.7, 80.5) and angle-closure (P < 0.001; OR, 21.3; 95% CI, 7.90, 57.5) glaucoma, and thinner retinal nerve fiber layer (P < 0.001; OR, 0.97; 95% CI, 0.95, 0.98).CONCLUSIONS. The 10-year incidence of localized RNFLDs in adult Chinese is 4.7% 6 0.2%. It is strongly associated with arterial hypertension and higher prevalence of cerebrovascular infarcts, in addition to ocular reasons, such as glaucoma and diabetic retinopathy. Ophthalmologically normal subjects with incident-localized RNFLDs may be screened for arterial hypertension and cerebrovascular infarcts.Keywords: retinal nerve fiber layer, stroke, glaucoma, optic nerve, optic disc, Beijing Eye Study T he optic nerve as cerebral fascicle has its origin in the retinal ganglion cell layer. Its axons extend from the inner retina through the optic disc, optic nerve, and optic tract to the lateral geniculate ganglion. Any optic nerve damage affects the retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) through the loss of optic nerve fibers. The RNFL has conventionally been examined by ophthalmoscopy or on color fundus photographs. [1][2][3][4][5] The visibility of the RNFL shows a specific pattern with usually the best visibility in the temporal inferior arcade, followed by the temporal superior arcade, nasal superior arcade, and nasal inferior arcade. 6 The distribution of the RNFL visibility correlates with the thickness of the RNFL as measured by histomorphometry or confocal scanning laser tomography, with the diameter of the retinal arter...

Non-UK purchasers will have to pay a small fee for post and packing. For European countries the cost is £2 per monograph and for the rest of the world £3 per monograph.You can order HTA monographs from our Despatch Agents:-fax (with credit card or official purchase order) -post (with credit card or official purchase order or cheque) -phone during office hours (credit card only).Additionally the HTA website allows you either to pay securely by credit card or to print out your order and then post or fax it. Contact details are as follows: Payment methods Paying by chequeIf you pay by cheque, the cheque must be in pounds sterling, made payable to Direct Mail Works Ltd and drawn on a bank with a UK address. Paying by credit cardThe following cards are accepted by phone, fax, post or via the website ordering pages: Delta, Eurocard, Mastercard, Solo, Switch and Visa. We advise against sending credit card details in a plain email. Paying by official purchase orderYou can post or fax these, but they must be from public bodies (i.e. NHS or universities) within the UK. We cannot at present accept purchase orders from commercial companies or from outside the UK. How do I get a copy of HTA on CD?Please use the form on the HTA website (www.hta.ac.uk/htacd.htm). Or contact Direct Mail Works (see contact details above) by email, post, fax or phone. HTA on CD is currently free of charge worldwide.The website also provides information about the HTA Programme and lists the membership of the various committees. HTA NHS R&D HTA ProgrammeT he research findings from the NHS R&D Health Technology Assessment (HTA) Programme directly influence key decision-making bodies such as the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) and the National Screening Committee (NSC) who rely on HTA outputs to help raise standards of care. HTA findings also help to improve the quality of the service in the NHS indirectly in that they form a key component of the 'National Knowledge Service' that is being developed to improve the evidence of clinical practice throughout the NHS.The HTA Programme was set up in 1993. Its role is to ensure that high-quality research information on the costs, effectiveness and broader impact of health technologies is produced in the most efficient way for those who use, manage and provide care in the NHS. 'Health technologies' are broadly defined to include all interventions used to promote health, prevent and treat disease, and improve rehabilitation and long-term care, rather than settings of care.The HTA Programme commissions research only on topics where it has identified key gaps in the evidence needed by the NHS. Suggestions for topics are actively sought from people working in the NHS, the public, service-users groups and professional bodies such as Royal Colleges and NHS Trusts.Research suggestions are carefully considered by panels of independent experts (including service users) whose advice results in a ranked list of recommended research priorities. The HTA Programme then commissions the researc...
