Is diabetes mellitus a risk factor for open-angle glaucoma?
In this prospective population-based study, diabetes mellitus was not a risk factor for OAG.
Clinical, serological and histological markers, all provide prognostic information. Because they are all linked in a collaborative network, the formation of homogenous prognostic groups by use of single markers is limited. Alternative statistical approaches with focus on decision trees may allow use of various information to assess individual patients into distinct risk groups.
