| 3 | Individuals with and without normal tension glaucoma exhibit comparable performance on tests of cognitive function显示文摘AIM:To evaluate aspects of cognition impacted by individuals with and without normal tension glaucoma.METHODS:Fifty normal tension glaucoma(NTG)and 50 control patients≥50 y of age were recruited from the UCSF Department of Ophthalmology.Demographic data and glaucoma parameters were extracted from electronic medical records for both groups.Tests of executive function[Executive Abilities:Measures and Instruments for Neurobehavioral Evaluation and Research(EXAMINER)]and learning and memory[California Verbal Learning Test–Second Edition(CVLT-II)]were administered to both NTG and controls.Race,handedness,best-corrected visual acuity,maximum intraocular pressure,optic nerve cup-todisc ratio,visual field and optic nerve optical coherence tomography parameters,and a measure of general health(Charlson Comorbidity Index)were compared between NTG and controls as well as within NTG subgroups.Multivariate linear regression was used to compare group performances on the EXAMINER battery and CVLT-II while controlling for age,sex,and years of education.RESULTS:NTG and controls were comparable with respect to age,sex,race,education,handedness,and the Charlson Comorbidity Index(P>0.05 for all).Performance on the EXAMINER composite score and the CVLT-II did not differ between NTG and controls(P>0.05 for both).CONCLUSION:This is the first prospective study in which the cognitive function of subject with NTG were evaluated using a comprehensive,computerized neurocognitive battery.Subjects with NTG do not perform worse than unaffected controls on tests of executive function,learning,and memor y.Results do not suppor t the hypothesis that individuals with NTG are at higher risk for cognitive dysfunction and/or dementia. | Qi N.Cui David Green Mohit Jethi Todd Driver Travis C.Porco Jane Kuo Shan C.Lin Robert L.Stamper Ying Han Cynthia S.Chiu Saras Ramanathan Michael E.Ward Katherine Possin Yvonne Ou | 2021 | International Journal of Ophthalmology(English edition)2021，14，11： | 0 |
