Abstract

Purpose: To determine the interreader agreement for reticular pseudodrusen (RPD) assessment on combined infrared reflectance (IR) and OCT imaging in the early stages of age-related macular degeneration across a range of different criteria to define their presence. Design: Interreader agreement study. Participants: Twelve readers from 6 reading centers. Methods: All readers evaluated 100 eyes from individuals with bilateral large drusen for the following: (1) the presence of RPD across a range of different criteria and (2) the number of Stage 2 or 3 RPD lesions (from 0 to ≥ 5 lesions) on an entire OCT volume scan and on a selected OCT B-scan. Supportive information was available from the corr..
