Clinical diagnosis means that ‘POAG’ & ‘healthy controls’ were diagnosed not only by morphology of the optic disc but also by other clinical symptoms, including visual field, IOP and thickness of optic nerve fibre layer. Glaucomatous optic neuropathy means that the researchers only studied the morphology of glaucomatous optic discs
Abbreviations: FN false negative, FP false positive, TN true negative, TP true positive
Sensitivity indicates that the TP rate is equivalent to TP/(TP + FN). Specificity indicates that the TN rate is equivalent to TN/(TN + FP)
