Description
Purpose
To develop consensus terminology and criteria for defining atrophy based on OCT findings in the setting of age-related macular degeneration (AMD).
Design
Consensus meeting.
Participants
Panel of retina specialists, image reading center experts, retinal histologists, and optics engineers.
Methods
As part of the Classification of Atrophy Meetings (CAM) program, an international group of experts surveyed the existing literature, performed a masked analysis of longitudinal multimodal imaging for a series of eyes with AMD, and reviewed the results of this analysis to define areas of agreement and disagreement. Through consensus discussions at 3 meetings over 12 months, a classification system based on OCT was proposed for atrophy secondary to AMD. Specific criteria were defined to establish the presence of atrophy.
Main Outcome Measures
A consensus classification system for atrophy and OCT-based …
