: PRéCIS: A spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) based deep learning system detected glaucomatous structural change with high sensitivity and specificity. It outperformed the clinical diagnostic parameters in discriminating glaucomatous eyes from healthy eyes. PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to assess the performance of a deep learning classifier for the detection of glaucomatous change based on SD-OCT. METHODS: Three hundred fifty image sets of ganglion cell-inner plexiform layer (GCIPL) and retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) SD-OCT for 86 glaucomatous eyes and 307 SD-OCT image sets of 196 healthy participants were recruited and split into training (197 eyes) and test (85 eyes) datasets based on a patient-wise split. The bottleneck features extracted from the GCIPL thickness map, GCIPL deviation map, RNFL thickness map, and RNFL deviation map were used as predictors for the deep learning classifier. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) was calculated and compared with those of conventional glaucoma diagnostic parameters including SD-OCT thickness profile and standard automated perimetry (SAP) to evaluate the accuracy of discrimination for each algorithm. RESULTS: In the test dataset, this deep learning system achieved an AUC of 0.990 [95% confidence interval (CI), 0.975-1.000] with a sensitivity of 94.7% and a specificity of 100.0%, which was significantly larger than the AUCs with all of the optical coherence tomography and SAP parameters: 0.949 (95% CI, 0.921-0.976) with average GCIPL thickness (P=0.006), 0.938 (95% CI, 0.905-0.971) with average RNFL thickness (P=0.003), and 0.889 (0.844-0.934) with mean deviation of SAP (P<0.001; DeLong test). CONCLUSION: An SD-OCT-based deep learning system can detect glaucomatous structural change with high sensitivity and specificity.
