Abstract:
This work describes a diagnostic graphical tool (classification maps) recently developed and published by the authors to support the detection of Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD). These maps, constructed using an ordinal regression model, visually represent the progression of AMD. In this model, the degree of AMD advancement serves as the ordinal dependent variable. Independent variables, such as Central Retinal Thickness (CRT), Ganglion Cell Complex thickness (GCC), Macular Pigment Optical Density (MPOD), Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) scores, Snellen visual acuity, and patient age are incorporated into the analysis and displayed on the axes of the maps.
