Then, the dataset was divided, based on the 50th percentile of the measured Bruch\u2019s membrane opening area (BMO-A), into small (BMO-A\u2009&lt;\u20091.95 mm<jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>) and large optic discs (BMO-A\u2009&gt;\u20091.95 mm<jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>). Finally, the discriminative performance of BMO-MRW and RNFL between glaucoma and controls using ROC analysis and the manufacturer\u2019s classification based on the 5th percentile was analyzed.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>In discriminating between glaucoma and matched healthy controls, global BMO-MRW and global RNFL thickness had comparable areas under the ROC curve for eyes with early glaucoma and both small BMO-As (ROC\u2009\u00b1\u2009confidence interval [CI] 0.91 [0.87 to 0.95] and 0.88 [0.83 to 0.93]) and large BMO-As (0.86 [0.82 to 0.92] and 0.84 [0.79 to 0.90]), as well as in moderate\/advanced glaucoma with small BMO-As (0.99 [0.98 to 1.00] and 0.97 [0.95 to 1.00]) and large BMO-As (0.94 [0.91 to 0.98] and 0.97 [0.94 to 1.00]). Using the calculated 5th percentile as a threshold value, the sensitivities for the detection of early and moderate\/advanced glaucoma were comparable for BMO-MRW and RNFL in eyes with small optic discs (early glaucoma: fifty-two percent and 61%; moderate\/advanced glaucoma: ninety-one percent and 92%). In eyes with large optic discs, the sensitivity of BMO-MRW was inferior to that of RNFL for both early (38% versus 51%) and moderate\/advanced (80% versus 91%) glaucoma.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Based on an ROC analysis, the discriminative performance of BMO-MRW and RNFL between patients with early and moderate\/advanced glaucoma and a healthy control group matched based on optic disc size is comparable in eyes with BMO-As smaller and larger 1.95 mm<jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>. Using a classification based on the 5th percentile, as used in clinical practice, RNFL is shown to be superior to BMO-MRW regarding sensitivity in glaucoma detection with large optic discs.
