{"doi":"10.2147/opth.s297307","title":"Swept Source Optical Coherence Tomography Compared to Ultrasound and Biomicroscopy for Diagnosis of Posterior Vitreous Detachment","abstract":"BACKGROUND: Biomicroscopy, B-scan ultrasound imaging, and SD-OCT are all modalities used to characterize a posterior vitreous detachment (PVD). Our objective is to assess the precision of the diagnosis of PVD by SS-OCT. METHODS: This prospective observational study examines ninety-five eyes of forty-nine patients with biomicroscopy, B-scan ultrasound, and SS-OCT for the presence or absence of a complete PVD. All SS-OCT images were reviewed by two retina specialists (RWSC, ZM). All three diagnostic methods were evaluated for agreement by Cohen's kappa statistic. RESULTS: The inter-rater reliability between retina specialists reading the SS-OCT images was 97.9% (κ = 0.957). Agreement on PVD status between SS-OCT and biomicroscopy was 85.3% (κ = 0.711). Agreement between SS-OCT and B-scan ultrasound was 83.2% (κ = 0.667). Agreement between B-scan ultrasound and biomicroscopy was 87.4% (κ = 0.743). CONCLUSION: For the diagnosis of complete PVD, SS-OCT allows for high accuracy and agreement between graders.","journal":"Clinical ophthalmology","year":2021,"id":178142,"datarank":0.0,"base_score":0.0,"endowment":0.0,"self_citation_contribution":0.0,"citation_network_contribution":0.0,"self_endowment_contribution":0.0,"citer_contribution":0.0,"corpus_percentile":null,"corpus_rank":null,"citation_count":19,"citer_count":0,"citers_with_citation_signal":0,"citers_with_endowment":0,"datacite_reuse_total":0,"is_dataset":false,"is_dataset_confidence":0.9564,"is_data_producer":false,"deposit_databanks":null,"is_oa":true,"file_count":0,"downloads":0,"has_version_chain":false,"published_date":"2021-01-01","fair_score":null,"fair_percentile":null,"algorithm_id":"datarank_citation_only_1hop_v6","ranking_scope":"data_only","authors":[{"id":723873,"name":"Cecile Truong","orcid":null,"position":1,"is_corresponding":false},{"id":723282,"name":"Zaid Mammo","orcid":"0000-0001-9230-9643","position":2,"is_corresponding":false},{"id":723874,"name":"S.
