DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This project aims to improve glaucoma management by applying novel pattern recognition techniques to improve the accurate prediction and detection of glaucomatous progression. The premise is that complex functional and structural tests in daily use by eye care providers contain hidden information that is not fully used in current analyses, and that advanced pattern recognition techniques can find and use that hidden information. The primary goals involve the use of mathematically rigorous techniques to discover patterns of defects and to track their changes in longitudinal series of perimetric and optical imaging data from up to 1800 glaucomatous and healthy eyes, available as the result of long-term NIH funding. With the interdisciplinary team of glaucoma and pattern recognition experts we have assembled, with our extensive NIH-supported database of eyes, and with the knowledge we have acquired in the optimal use of pattern recognition methods from previous NIH support, we believe the proposed work can enhance significantly the medical and surgical treatment of glaucoma and reduce the cost of glaucoma care. Moreover, improved techniques for predicting and detecting glaucomatous progression can be used for refined subject recruitment and to define endpoints for clinical trials of intraocular pressure-lowering and neuroprotective drugs.

描述（由申请人提供）：该项目旨在通过应用新的模式识别技术来改善青光眼治疗，以提高青光眼进展的准确预测和检测。前提是眼科护理提供者日常使用的复杂功能和结构测试包含当前分析中未充分使用的隐藏信息，并且先进的模式识别技术可以找到并使用这些隐藏信息。主要目标涉及使用数学上严格的技术来发现缺陷的模式，并跟踪它们在纵向系列的周边和光学成像数据的变化，这些数据来自多达1800只昏迷和健康的眼睛，作为NIH长期资助的结果。随着青光眼和模式识别专家的跨学科团队，我们已经组装，与我们广泛的NIH支持的眼睛数据库，并与知识，我们已经获得了最佳使用模式识别方法从以前的NIH支持，我们相信拟议的工作可以大大提高青光眼的医疗和手术治疗，并降低青光眼护理的成本。此外，用于预测和检测青光眼进展的改进技术可用于精确的受试者招募，并定义降低眼内压和神经保护药物临床试验的终点。
