This study introduces a simple adjustment to the Pearson chi-square test for analyzing correlated eye data in ophthalmologic studies. The method effectively compares proportions across groups, even with varying numbers of eyes per subject.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Biostatistics
  • Statistical Methods

Background:

  • Ophthalmologic studies frequently compare ocular findings across multiple subject groups.
  • Subjects often contribute two highly correlated eye measurements, complicating standard statistical analyses.
  • Existing methods by Rosner and Dallal address intrasubject correlation but may not cover all scenarios.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose an alternative, simplified statistical approach for comparing proportions of ocular findings in group studies.
  • To develop a method that accounts for intrasubject correlation when subjects contribute multiple eye data points.
  • To offer a flexible method that generalizes to studies with more than two data units per subject.

Main Methods:

  • An adaptation of the standard Pearson chi-square test for the equality of proportions.

  • Incorporation of data from subjects contributing only one eye to the analysis.
  • Generalization of the method to accommodate studies where subjects provide more than two units of analysis.

    • Main Results:

    • The proposed adjusted Pearson chi-square test provides a straightforward method for analyzing correlated ocular data.
    • The approach effectively utilizes all available data, including subjects with single eye measurements.
    • The method demonstrates robustness and generalizability for diverse ophthalmologic study designs.

    Conclusions:

    • The adjusted Pearson chi-square test offers a practical and efficient alternative for analyzing proportions in ophthalmologic research with correlated eye data.
    • This method enhances statistical power and accuracy by leveraging complete subject data.
    • The approach is adaptable to complex study designs involving multiple data points per subject.
