OBJECTIVE: To examine and validate thresholds for inter-eye differences in peripapillary retinal nerve fibre (pRNFL) and ganglion cell + inner plexiform layer (GCIPL) thicknesses for identifying unilateral optic neuritis in MS.
METHODS: In this two-centre, cross-sectional study, optical coherence tomography was performed in 340 patients with clinically isolated syndrome (CIS) and MS. Cut-off values of inter-eye difference for identification of eyes with a history of unilateral ON were evaluated by receiver-operating characteristics analysis.
RESULTS: For pRNFL ≥5 µm, sensitivity was 69% and specificity 68%, while for GCIPL ≥4 µm sensitivity was 67% and specificity 78%. The areas under the curve (AUC) were 0.72 (95% confidence interval: 0.64 - 0.79) for pRNFL and 0.78 (95%CI: 0.72 - 0.85) for GCIPL, indicating GCIPL as the superior model (p<0.001). When analysing only CIS patients, GCIPL inter-eye difference ≥4 µm also remained significant, while pRNFL inter-eye difference did not.
INTERPRETATIONS: Inter-eye differences of ≥4 μm for GCIPL and to a lesser degree ≥5 μm for RNFL are robust thresholds for identifying unilateral optic nerve lesions. These thresholds could be used to demonstrate previous symptomatic and possibly asymptomatic ON and might be included into a new version of the diagnostic criteria.
