PURPOSE: To assess patterns in gonioscopy during initial glaucoma evaluations in the United States.
DESIGN: Retrospective, case-control study.
METHODS: Patients undergoing initial glaucoma evaluation between 2009-2020 were identified in the Optum Clinformatics DataMart. Initial evaluation was defined as follows: (1) glaucoma suspect, anatomical narrow angle (ANA), or primary/secondary glaucoma diagnosed by an ophthalmologist; (2) continuously observable during a 36-month lookback period; (3) no history of glaucoma medications, laser, or surgical procedures; and (4) optical coherence tomography (OCT) or visual field performed within 6 months of initial diagnosis. Logistic regression models were developed to identify factors associated with no record of gonioscopy based on Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) codes.
RESULTS: Among 198,995 patients, 20.4% and 29.5% had recorded gonioscopy on the day of diagnosis or within 6 months, respectively. On multivariable analysis, odds of recorded gonioscopy within 6 months of initial evaluation was lower (P < .001) among non-Hispanic Whites (OR=0.84) but similar for Blacks (OR=1.02) and Hispanics (OR=0.96) compared with Asians. Age ≥60 years (OR<0.82), pseudophakia/aphakia (OR=0.58), or residence outside of the Northeast region (OR=0.66-0.84) conferred lower odds of recorded gonioscopy (P < .001). Angle closure glaucoma (OR=0.85), secondary glaucoma (OR=0.31), or open angle glaucoma/suspect (OR=0.12/0.24, respectively) patients were less likely to have recorded gonioscopy compared to ANA patients (P < .01).
CONCLUSIONS: More than 70% patients undergoing initial glaucoma evaluation in the United States do not have a record of gonioscopy, especially elderly, non-Hispanic White, and pseudophakic patients in non-Northeast regions. This pattern does not conform to current practice guidelines and could contribute to misdiagnosed disease and suboptimal outcomes.
