To assess the effect of age and test-retest reliability of the intensity response function of the full field Photopic Negative Response (PhNR) in normal healthy human subjects. Full field electroretinograms (ERGs) were recorded from one eye of 45 subjects and 39 of these subjects were tested on two separate days with a Diagnosys Espion System (Lowell, MA, USA). The visual stimuli consisted of brief (<5ms) red flashes ranging from 0.000625 to 6.4 phot cd s/m2, delivered on a constant 7 cd/m2 blue background. PhNR amplitudes were measured at its trough from baseline (BT) and from the preceding b-wave peak (PT) and b-wave amplitude was measured at its peak from the preceding a-wave trough or baseline if the a-wave was not present. The intensity response data of all three ERG measures was fitted with a generalized Naka-Rushton function to derive the saturated amplitude (Vmax), semisaturation constant (K) and slope (n) parameters. Effect of age on the fit parameters was assessed with linear regression and test-retest reliability was assessed with the Wilcoxon Signed Rank test and Bland-Altman analysis. Holm’s correction was applied to account for multiple comparisons. Vmax of BT was significantly smaller than that of PT and b-wave and the Vmax of PT and b-wave were not significantly different from each other. The slope parameter n was smallest for BT and largest for b-wave and the difference between the slopes of all three measures were statistically significant. Small differences observed in the mean values of K for the different measures did not reach statistical significance. The Wilcoxon signed rank test indicated no significant differences between the two test visits for any of the Naka-Rushton parameters for the three ERG measures and the Bland-Altman plots indicated that the mean difference between test and retest measurements of the different fit parameters were close to zero and within 6% of the average of the test and retest values of the respective parameters for all three ERG measurements, indicating minimal bias. While the Coefficient of Reliability (COR, defined as 1.96 times the standard deviation of the test and retest difference) of each fit parameter was more or less comparable across the three ERG measurements, the %COR (COR normalized to the mean test and retest measures) was generally larger for BT compared to both PT and b-wave for each fit parameter. The Naka-Rushton fit parameters did not show statistically significant changes with age for any of the ERG measures when corrections were applied for multiple comparisons. However, the Vmax of BT demonstrated a weak correlation with age prior to correction for multiple comparisons and the effect of age on this parameter showed greater significance when the measure was expressed as a ratio of the Vmax of the b-wave from the same subject. The Vmax of the BT amplitude measure of PhNR at the best was weakly correlated with age. None of the other parameters of the Naka-Rushton fit to the intensity response data of either the PhNR or the b-wave showed any systematic changes with age. The test-retest reliability of the fit parameters for PhNR BT amplitude measurements appear to be lower than those of the PhNR PT and b-wave amplitude measurements.
