Anterior chamber angle parameters (angle opening distance, AOD, and trabecular\u2010iris space area, TISA at 500 and 750 microns) were extracted from ASOCT images using a semi\u2010automated segmentation algorithm written on MATLAB (\n                      <jats:ext-link xmlns:xlink=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xlink\" xlink:href=\"http:\/\/www.mathworks.com\">www.mathworks.com<\/jats:ext-link>\n                      ). We first matched the quantitative values for each gonioscopic grade (0\u20134, from no structures visible to ciliary body visible) and described the frequency distributions to determine separability. We then applied a grade\u2010agnostic clustering algorithm to determine the concordance between algorithm\u2010clustered groups (using solely quantitative data) and those obtained using gonioscopy.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The frequency distributions of the quantitative ASOCT parameters for each angle grade were mostly non\u2010parametric and displayed unique distribution characteristics, with a floor effect seen for grade 0 and the lack of a ceiling effect seen for grades 3 and 4. Although we found significant differences in quantitative values across the five angle grades using the frequency distributions, some pairwise comparisons were indistinguishable (such as grades 0 and 1, and grades 3 and 4) due to the overlaps in distributions. On average, differences in quantitative values were consistent between gonioscopic grade steps, but there remained substantial variability that confounds prediction of change between ordinal steps. The clustering algorithm showed approximately 10% of cases with the same group assignment as that of the gonioscopic grade, improving slightly to 30% when the top 5% of quantitative data were excluded from analysis.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Our results do not necessarily support the assumption that the ordinal scales used in gonioscopy can be interpreted using an interval scale. We highlight the need for better methods of describing the course and risk of angle closure spectrum disease to identify disease progression and conversion, where gonioscopy remains the gold standard.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/opo.12721","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,8,14]],"date-time":"2020-08-14T12:43:04Z","timestamp":1597408984000},"page":"617-631","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Assessment of angle closure spectrum disease as a continuum of change using gonioscopy and anterior segment optical coherence tomography"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"40","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9933-6780","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jack","family":"Phu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Eye Health University of New South Wales Kensington New South Wales Australia"},{"name":"School of Optometry and Vision Science University of New South Wales Kensington New South Wales Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Brian","family":"Wong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Eye Health University of New South Wales Kensington New South Wales Australia"},{"name":"School of Optometry and Vision Science University of New South Wales Kensington New South Wales Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Thalia","family":"Lim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Eye Health University of New South Wales Kensington New South Wales Australia"},{"name":"School of Optometry and Vision Science University of New South Wales Kensington New South Wales Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5264-4639","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Michael","family":"Kalloniatis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Eye Health University of New South Wales Kensington New South Wales Australia"},{"name":"School of Optometry and Vision Science University of New South Wales Kensington New South Wales Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,8,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_8_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/aos.12784"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jcjo.2016.12.010"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jcjo.2017.01.008"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ophtha.2013.05.034"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/archopht.1957.00940010526005"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_7_1","first-page":"112","article-title":"Primary glaucomas.
