Multivariate analysis in glaucoma. Use of discriminant analysis in predicting glaucomatous visual field damage
S. M. Drance, M. Schulzer, B. Thomas and G. R. Douglas
A discriminant function obtained in 1978 to separate patients with
glaucomatous visual field loss from those without visual field loss was
shown to have a predictive value in ocular hypertensive persons as to the
subsequent development of visual field loss in five years. A prospective
discriminant analysis also was carried out to identify those factors that
best separate those in whom visual field defects developed from those in
whom they did not.
