简要总结
Primary objective of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic capability of keratoconus match index (KMI) and keratoconus match probability (KMP) indexes in forme fruste keratoconus (FFK), and their association with a series of Pentacam-derived keratconus (KC) indexes. KMI and KMP parameters are KC-specifc indexes that are measured by Ocular Response Analyzer (ORA), based on the distinct ORA-derived waveform characteristics of KC eyes.
Study participants were recruited from the Cornea Outpatient service in a consecutive if eligible basis. Two study groups were formed: a) FFK group (FFKG) that included patients diagnosed with FFK, and, b) Control group (CG) was formed by refractive surgery candidates.
All ORA (Reichert Ophthalmic Instrument, Buffalo, NY, USA, software version: 3.01)and Pentacam (Pentacam HR, Oculus Optikgerate GmbH, Heidelberg, Germany)measurements were performed by the same experienced operator in a consistent way

结局指标
主要结局
Keratoconus Match Index (KMI)
时间窗: one day
KMI is the outcome of a neural network calculation of seven ORA-derived waveform scores and represents the similarity of the waveform of the examined eye against the same average waveform scores of the keratoconus eyes in the machine's database. Receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curves were applied to determine the overall predictive accuracy of KMI parameter,as described by the area under the curve (AUC), in differentiating FFK cases from normal ones. The impact of Pentacam-derived KC related indexes on KMI was assessed with stepwise forward multivariate regression analysis.
