Validating and updating the OHTS-EGPS model predicting 5-year glaucoma risk among patients with ocular hypertension using electronic medical records: a cohort study

Key Points

• To validate and update the OHTS-EGPS model for predicting glaucoma risk in patients with ocular hypertension.
• Conducted a cohort study using electronic medical records of patients with ocular hypertension.
• Applied the OHTS-EGPS model to estimate five-year glaucoma risk.
• Analyzed risk prediction accuracy and model updates based on new data.
• The updated model showed enhanced prediction accuracy for five-year glaucoma risk.
• Findings may lead to better management strategies for ocular hypertension patients.
• Improved risk assessment could facilitate timely interventions to prevent glaucoma.
