Qualitative and quantitative outflow assessment was acquired by means of a digital tonographer and mathematical analysis. Qualitative results were represented using slope analysis of the change of the AH outflow rate over the tonography study. The results were compared to the control group (CG; n=100) as well as to a pseudoexfoliation group (PEX; n=46).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Regarding quantitative analysis, glaucoma groups exhibited significantly lower outflow facility compared to nonglaucoma ones (p&lt;0.001). Outflow facility value was significantly correlated to cup to disc ratio (Pearson correlation r=\u20130.3, p&lt;0.001). Regarding qualitative analysis, the primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) group presented a significant profile variation at the beginning of the tonography, expressed as an increased resistance of the AH outflow. Both glaucoma groups exhibited profile stabilization at the end of the measurement, suggesting that the outflow rate remained constant, while nonglaucoma groups followed a continuous reduction of the AH outflow rate throughout the study.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The POAG, PXG, PEX, and CG groups demonstrated both qualitative and quantitative tonographic profile differences. The observed differences in the glaucoma groups suggest a distinct pathomechanism between POAG and PXG. It is suggested that POAG patients have a temporary disruption of the AH flow pathway, while PXG patients have a generalized increased flow resistance.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.5301\/ejo.5000107","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,1,16]],"date-time":"2012-01-16T13:28:02Z","timestamp":1326720482000},"page":"726-733","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Tonography assessment using quantitative and qualitative analysis of the aqueous humor outflow mechanism"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"22","author":[{"given":"Vassilios P.","family":"Kozobolis","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology & Eye Institute of Thrace, Democritus University of Thrace, Alexandroupolis - Greece"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Eleftherios I.","family":"Paschalis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology & Eye Institute of Thrace, Democritus University of Thrace, Alexandroupolis - Greece"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Georgios","family":"Labiris","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology & Eye Institute of Thrace, Democritus University of Thrace, Alexandroupolis - Greece"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Nikitas C.","family":"Foudoulakis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology & Eye Institute of Thrace, Democritus University of Thrace, Alexandroupolis - Greece"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Aristeidis","family":"Konstantinidis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology & Eye Institute of Thrace, Democritus University of Thrace, Alexandroupolis - Greece"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Stavrenia C.","family":"Koukoula","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology & Eye Institute of Thrace, Democritus University of Thrace, Alexandroupolis - Greece"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2012,1,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-ejo.5000107","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"389","DOI":"10.1136\/bjo.80.5.389","volume":"80","author":"Quigley H.A.","year":"1996","journal-title":"Br J Ophthalmol"},{"key":"bibr2-ejo.5000107","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"143","DOI":"10.1097\/00061198-200004000-00003","volume":"9","author":"Kozobolis V.P.","year":"2000","journal-title":"J Glaucoma"},{"key":"bibr3-ejo.5000107","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"182","DOI":"10.1001\/archopht.1997.01100150184006","volume":"115","author":"Konstas A.G.","year":"1997","journal-title":"Arch Ophthalmol"},{"key":"bibr4-ejo.5000107","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"307","DOI":"10.1016\/S0161-6420(84)34283-X","volume":"91","author":"Sugar S.","year":"1984","journal-title":"Ophthalmology"},{"key":"bibr5-ejo.5000107","first-page":"176","volume":"3","author":"Ritch R.","year":"1994","journal-title":"J Glaucoma"},{"key":"bibr6-ejo.5000107","first-page":"233","volume":"105","author":"Tarkkanen A.H.","year":"1986","journal-title":"Trans Ophthalmol Soc UK"},{"key":"bibr7-ejo.5000107","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"835","DOI":"10.1016\/0002-9394(74)90307-9","volume":"78","author":"Layden W.E.","year":"1974","journal-title":"Am J Ophthalmol"},{"key":"bibr8-ejo.5000107","first-page":"308","volume":"99","author":"Smith R.J.","year":"1979","journal-title":"Trans Ophthalmol Soc UK"},{"key":"bibr9-ejo.5000107","first-page":"32","volume":"1","author":"Wollensak J.","year":"1992","journal-title":"Does glaucoma capsulare exist?
