PURPOSE To determine the within-visit between-algorithm and the within-algorithm between-visit differences in sensitivity for the SITA Standard, SITA Fast, FASTPAC, and Full Threshold algorithms in stable primary open angle glaucoma. METHODS One designated eye from each of 29 patients (age 67.3 +/- 10.2 years; mean +/- SD) experienced in automated perimetry was examined with the four algorith...

PURPOSE To determine the between-algorithm differences in perimetric sensitivity for the Swedish Interactive Threshold algorithm (SITA) Standard, SITA Fast, FASTPAC, and Full Threshold algorithms; to determine the between-subject, between-algorithm differences in the magnitude of the normal variation in sensitivity. METHODS The sample comprised 50 normal subjects (mean age, 52.9 +/- 18.5 year...

IMPORTANCE Swedish Interactive Thresholding Algorithm (SITA) testing strategies for the Humphrey Field Analyzer have become a clinical standard. Measurements from SITA Fast are thought to be more variable than SITA Standard, yet some clinics routinely use SITA Fast because it is quicker. OBJECTIVE To examine the measurement precision of the 2 SITA strategies across a range of sensitivities us...

Using a newly collected normal database of visual fields obtained with the Swedish Interaction Threshold Algorithm-Standard (SITA-S), SITA Fast, and Full Threshold Programs, inter-subject variability and significance limits for deviation of threshold values were calculated and compared. Average inter-subject variance was 69% smaller with SITA-S and 59% smaller with SITA Fast compared with Full ...

AIM The efficacy and safety of insulin degludec (IDeg), a new basal insulin with an ultra-long duration of action, was compared to sitagliptin (Sita) in a 26-week, open-label trial. METHODS Insulin-naïve subjects with type 2 diabetes [n = 458, age: 56 years, diabetes duration: 7.7 years, glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1c): 8.9% (74 mmol/mol)] were randomized (1 : 1) to once-daily IDeg or Sita (...

W artykule przedstawiono wyniki badań procesu odwadniania masy wydobywczej zawierającej bursztyn, za pomocą wibroklasyfikatora. Opisano cechy schematu technologicznego wydobywania bursztynu w odniesieniu do punktów zaopatrzenia wodę. Badano stan równowagi cieczy komorze wibroklasyfikatora różnych warunkach zwilżalności sita: ciecz niezwilżająca włókien sita; płyn zwilżający włókna cienka warstw...

PURPOSE To compare learning effect of Swedish interactive threshold algorithm (SITA) standard strategy with full threshold testing. METHODS Thirty-nine medical students with no experience in visual field testing had full threshold (FT) and SITA standard for either right or left eyes. They were chosen in such a way that 20 (Group I) had FT for right and SITA for left eyes and 19 (Group II) had...

PURPOSE To develop and test a short and reliable visual field threshold program for the early detection of glaucomatous visual field loss, by adapting the Swedish interactive test algorithm (SITA) to short-wavelength-automated-perimetry (SWAP). METHODS Computer simulations were performed to test the accuracy of several versions of SITA SWAP, and to optimize speed versus reliability. The selec...

BACKGROUND Vigabatrin (VGB) is an anti-epileptic medication which has been linked to peripheral constriction of the visual field. Documenting the natural history associated with continued VGB exposure is important when making decisions about the risk and benefits associated with the treatment. Due to its speed the Swedish Interactive Threshold Algorithm (SITA) has become the algorithm of choice...
