[A new method in the analysis of vitreous fluorophotometry. Results in early diabetic retinopathy]. 1989

M S Roy, and P Bungay, and B Collier, and R Bonner

New methodology to analyze posterior vitreous fluorophotometry (PVF) data is described. Values for D, fluorescein vitreous diffusion coefficient and P, permeability of the blood retinal barrier (BRB) to fluorescein are obtained. D was found to be significantly greater in diabetic patients with minimal retinopathy compared with either controls or patients with no retinopathy. P values were not significantly different between diabetic patients and controls or between diabetic subgroups, confirming the absence of breakdown of the BRB, as assessed by PVF, in early diabetic retinopathy.

D015203 Reproducibility of Results The statistical reproducibility of measurements (often in a clinical context), including the testing of instrumentation or techniques to obtain reproducible results. The concept includes reproducibility of physiological measurements, which may be used to develop rules to assess probability or prognosis, or response to a stimulus; reproducibility of occurrence of a condition; and reproducibility of experimental results.
