OBJECTIVE: To determine whether pRNFL and GCIPL predict disability progression and retinal, brain, and spinal cord atrophy (SCA) in PPMS.
METHODS: Retrospective longitudinal study of 69 PPMS patients with clinical, OCT, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data. Patients stratified by pRNFL and GCIPL thickness tertiles (lower vs intermediate-upper). Annual thinning rates for pRNFL and GCIPL (aLpRNFL and aLGCIPL) estimated via linear regression. MRI assessed baseline and follow-up brain volumes, spinal cord area, and percentage of brain volume change (PBVC). Analyses included regression models, Kaplan-Meier, and Cox survival regression.
RESULTS: pRNFL ⩽ 87 μm was associated with higher follow-up Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) (6.0 (interquartile range (IQR) = 4.5-6.5) vs 4.0 (IQR = 3.0-6.0), p = 0.013). Risk of confirmed disability progression (CDP) increased 3.4-fold (95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.03-11.30, p = 0.044) over 2 years (IQR = 1.0-3.0), with median time to CDP of 1.84 vs 3.67 years (p = 0.027). Longitudinally, pRNFL ⩽87 μm showed faster retinal thinning (aLpRNFL = -1.66 vs -0.31 µm/year, p < 0.001), greater whole-brain atrophy (PBVC = -1.20%, p = 0.037), and greater SCA (B = 0.333, p = 0.008).
CONCLUSION: In PPMS, pRNFL predicts disability progression and greater retinal, brain, and SCA, supporting its role as a surrogate marker of neurodegeneration in clinical trials.
