Estimated trans‐lamina cribrosa pressure difference versus intraocular pressure as biomarker for open‐angle glaucoma. The Beijing Eye Study 2011

To examine whether an estimated trans-lamina cribrosa pressure difference (TLCPD) better than intraocular pressure (IOP) correlated with markers for glaucoma.The population-based Beijing Eye Study 2011 included 3468 individuals. Cerebrospinal fluid pressure (CSFP) was calculated as CSFP [mmHg] = 0.44 × Body Mass Index [kg/m(2) ] + 0.16 × Diastolic Blood Pressure [mmHg] - 0.18 × Age [Years] - 1.91. TLCPD was IOP-CSFP.In the non-glaucomatous...
