PURPOSE: To determine if the degree of retinal arterial diameter change is different between @entity1 with progressive and nonprogressive @entity1538 . MATERIAL AND METHODS: In this prospective cohort study, 44 eyes of 44 @entity1538 @entity1 (mean age, 67.5 years; age range, 52-84 years; mean follow-up period, 4.9 years; follow-up range, 1.3-7.5 years) were included. The change in arterial diameter between the baseline and the most recent follow-up optic disc photograph was determined. The diameter of the 4 major arteries was measured at the optic disc margin and at the thinnest and broadest locations within 1 optic disc diameter from the disc margin. @entity1 were stratified into progressing and nonprogressing groups according to visual field and optic disc criteria. RESULTS: Visual field progression was observed in 13 (30%) @entity1 and optic disc progression in 24 (55%) @entity1 . On average, the arterial diameters at the edge of the optic disc decreased significantly by 2.37% (95% CI, -3.31% to -1.41%) per year of follow-up (P<0.001). No significant difference in generalized or focal arterial narrowing was observed between progressive and nonprogressive groups regardless of the criterion used (P>0.462). With this sample, the power to detect a 10% difference in arterial narrowing between the 2 groups was 66%. There was no relationship between the rates of visual field progression and arterial diameter change in the whole group (P = 0.171) or in groups segregated into progressing and nonprogressing @entity1 (P>0.104). CONCLUSION: Arterial diameters decreased in both progressive and nonprogressive @entity726 . In this study, there was little evidence that arterial narrowing was more pronounced in progressive disease.
