Measures of multiple deprivation and visual field loss in glaucoma clinics in England: lessons from big data
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: To examine the association between multiple deprivation with late diagnosis and rapid worsening of glaucoma in patients in English hospital eye services (HES). METHODS: 602,439 visual fields (VFs) were extracted from five regionally different glaucoma clinics in England. Mean...

description | BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: To examine the association between multiple deprivation with late diagnosis and rapid worsening of glaucoma in patients in English hospital eye services (HES). METHODS: 602,439 visual fields (VFs) were extracted from five regionally different glaucoma clinics in England. Mean Deviation (MD) worse than −12 dB was used as a surrogate definition for advanced VF loss at diagnosis in patients with ≥2 reliable VF records. MD loss worse than -1 dB per year was used to define rapid VF progression in patients with ≥6 VFs. Patient data were stratified into deciles of the Index of Multiple Deprivation (IMD) from residential postcodes. RESULTS: There was an association between IMD and advanced VF loss at diagnosis in 44,956 patients with 18% (293/1608) and 11% (771/6929) in the most and least deprived IMD decile, respectively. Age-corrected odds ratio (OR) for having advanced VF loss at entry into HES was 1.42 (95% confidence interval [CI] 1.21–1.67) and 0.75 (95% CI: 0.66–0.85) in the most and least deprived IMD decile respectively (reference = fifth decile). In 15,094 patients with follow up data (median [interquartile range] of 6.9 [4.5, 10.0] years), the proportion having rapid VF progression did not differ across the IMD spectrum. CONCLUSION: Large-scale VF data from clinics indicates that glaucoma severity at presentation to English HES is associated with levels of multiple deprivation. We found no evidence to suggest likelihood of having rapid VF progression during follow-up is associated with IMD; this hints at equity of glaucoma care and outcomes once patients are in English HES. |
