Screening for primary angle closure in Mongolia: a randomised controlled trial to determine whether screening and prophylactic treatment will reduce the incidence of primary angle closure glaucoma in an east Asian population

Table 2

Indication for slit lamp examination after optic disc examination plus or minus screening and number of occludable angles detected

Indication for referral Test +ve Intervention group (n=685) True +ve* Intervention group (n=160) Test +ve Control group (n=32) True +ve* Control group (n=2) Total true +ve* (n=162)
*True +ve = gonioscopically occludable angle; ACD = anterior chamber depth <2.53 mm; ACD + IOP = anterior chamber depth <2.53 mm and intraocular pressure >24 mm Hg; IOP = IOP >24 mm Hg; CDR = cup disc ratio ≥0.7 or asymmetry ≥0.2.
