Agreement analysis of Lenstar with other four techniques of biometry before cataract surgery
1Department of Ophthalmology, Affiliated Hospital of Nantong University, 20 Xisi Road, Nantong, Jiangsu, China.
Purpose:
To test whether some biometry measurements provided by the Lenstar LS900 compared well with the AL-Scan, Pentacam rotating Scheimpflug camera, Ultrasound Biomicroscopy (UBM) and Tomey EM-3000.
Methods:
Two hundred and one patients having routine cataract surgery had standard preoperative assessment. In this clinical study, the axis length (AL) and lens thickness (LT) were taken by Lenstar LS900 and AL-Scan; anterior chamber depth (ACD) was taken by Lenstar LS900, A-Scan, Pentacam and UBM; central corneal thickness (CCT) was taken by Lenstar LS900, Pentacam and Tomey EM-3000. The results were compared using a Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney U test and Pearson correlation calculations. Agreement was assessed through intraclass correlation coefficients and Bland-Altman plots.
Results:
The highest correlation was found between Lenstar and AL-Scan for AL (r = 0.975; P < 0.001). For LT measurements, the correlation between these two devices was also good (r = 0.699; P < 0.001). Excellent correlations were showed between Lenstar and Pentacam or UBM for ACD (r = 0.948, 0.704, respectively, both P < 0.001), but not between Lenstar and AL-Scan (r = 0.453, P < 0.001). The correlations of CCT between Lenstar and Pentacam or Tomey EM-3000 were both excellent (r = 0.817, 0.882, respectively, both P < 0.001).
Conclusions:
In phakic eyes of cataract patients, measurements of AL, LT, ACD and CCT from Lenstar LS900 yielded results that correlated very well with other clinical instruments.
