Abstract

ABSTRACT
Objective: To determine the effect of white-to-white (WTW) corneal diameter on the agreement in keratometric readings obtained using Pentacam Scheimpflug system, Topcon KR-8100P auto-keratorefractometer, and Lenstar LS900 biometer.
Material and Methods: A total of 140 eyes of 78 patients were examined in this study. The eyes in the study were divided into two groups: 62 eyes (44.3%) with corneal diameter <12 mm in group 1, and 78 eyes (55.7%) with corneal diameter >12 mm in group 2. The data of keratometric readings: K1 (flat keratometry), K2 (steep keratometry), and Km (mean keratometry) measured using the Pentacam, Topcon, and Lenstar devices was obtained retrospectively. In addition, groups were also compared in terms of other ocular biometric data. For determining the agreement of the devices for keratometric readings, interclass correlation coefficient (ICC) and 95% LoA (limits of agreement) were calculated in both of the groups. According to 95% LoA, if the difference between lower and upper limits is below 1 D, the devices were considered to be interchangeable in paired comparisons of devices.
Results: The mean age of the patients in the study was 31.05±8.13, and there was no significant difference for age, sex, spherical equivalent, and side between the groups (p>0.05). The mean K1, K2, and Km values of the group 1 were significantly higher than the group 2 (p<0.05). The mean anterior chamber depth, aqueous depth, and axial length values were significantly lower in the group 1 (p<0.05). In paired comparisons of the devices in both groups, the K1, K2 and Km values measured by the devices were found to be compatible with each other over 95% according to ICC. The devices for K2 values were not interchangeable in both groups. In group 2, all devices for K1 and Km were used interchangeably. In Group 1, only Lenstar-Topcon for K1 and Pentacam-Lenstar and Lenstar-Topcon for Km can be used interchangeably.
Conclusion: Although three devices are seen statistically compatible with each other in terms of keratometry measurements based on ICC values, K2 measurements according to 95% LoA are incompatible with each other regardless of the corneal diameter and are not interchangeable in clinical applications. For K1 and Km measurements, the agreement between devices is better and devices are interchangeable in the group with a corneal diameter> 12 mm.

Abstract

ÖZ
Amaç: Pentacam Scheimpflug sistemi, Topcon KR-8100P otokeratorefraktometre ve Lenstar LS900 biyometri ile ölçülen keratometri değerleri için cihazların uyumuna horizontal kornea çapının etkisini araştırmak.
Gereç ve Yöntemler: Çalışmaya 78 olgunun 140 gözü dahil edildi. Çalışmadaki gözler, kornea çapı <12 mm’den küçük olanlar (n=62, %44,3) grup 1 ve kornea çapı >12 mm olanlar (n=78, %55,7) grup 2 olmak üzere iki gruba ayrıldı. Tüm gözlerde Pentacam, Topcon ve Lenstar cihazları kullanılarak ölçülen K1 (düz keratometri), K2 (dik keratometri) ve Km (ortalama keratometri) keratometrik ölçüm verileri geriye dönük olarak incelendi. Ek olarak, gruplar diğer oküler biyometrik datalar açısından da kıyaslandı. Cihazların keratometri ölçümleri açısından uyumunu saptamak için her iki grupta sınıf içi korelasyon katsayısı (ICC) ve 95% LoA (limits of agreement) hesaplandı. Cihazların ikili karşılaştırmalarında 95% LoA’ya göre alt ve üst limitler arasındaki fark 1 D altında ise cihazlar birbirinin yerine kullanılabilir kabul edildi.
Bulgular: Çalışmadaki hastaların yaş ortalaması 31,05±8,13 olup, gruplar arasında hastaların yaşı, cinsiyeti ile gözlerin sferik eşdeğeri açısından anlamlı fark yoktu (p>0,05). Grup 1’deki ortalama K1, K2 ve Km değerleri bütün cihazlarla grup 2’den anlamlı olarak daha yüksek bulundu (p<0,05). Ortalama ön kamara derinliği, aköz derinlik ve aksiyel uzunluk ölçümleri ise grup 1’de grup 2’ye göre anlamlı olarak daha düşük bulundu (p<0.05). Her iki grupta da cihazların ikili karşılaştırmalarında, ölçülen K1, K2 ve Km değerleri için cihazlar ICC’ye göre %95’in üzerinde birbiriyle uyumlu bulundu. Her iki grupta da K2 değerleri için cihazlar birbirinin yerine kullanılabilir değildi. Grup 2’de ise K1 ve Km için bütün cihazlar birbirinin yerine kullanılabilir idi. Grup 1’de ise K1 için sadece Lenstar-Topcon, Km için ise Pentacam-Lenstar ve Lenstar-Topcon birbirinin yerine kullanılabilir.
Sonuç: Üç cihazda da keratometrik ölçümler açısından her ne kadar ICC değerleri temel alındığında istatistiksel olarak birbiriyle uyumlu görünse de, 95% LoA’ya göre K2 ölçümleri açısından kornea çapından bağımsız olarak birbiriyle uyumsuzdur ve klinik uygulamalarda birbiri yerine kullanılamaz. K1 ve Km ölçümleri için ise kornea çapı >12 mm olan grupta cihazlar arasındaki uyum daha iyidir ve cihazlar birbiri yerine kullanılabilir.
