Migraine headache and its association with open-angle glaucoma: the Beaver Dam Eye Study.
TLDR
There is no evidence of a relationship between open-angle glaucoma and migraine headache in this population-based study.Abstract:
PURPOSE To investigate the relationship of a history of migraine headache to open-angle glaucoma. METHODS In an epidemiologic study of age-related eye disease, subjects were asked if they had migraine headaches. The diagnosis of glaucoma was based on visual field, intraocular pressure, cup/disc ratio, and history. RESULTS Those younger than 65 years were significantly more likely to report a history of migraine (P = 0.001) as were women (P < 0.001). There was no difference in the frequency of open-angle glaucoma between those with and those without migraine headache (P = 0.87). Multivariate analyses did not alter the conclusion. CONCLUSION In this population-based study there is no evidence of a relationship between open-angle glaucoma and migraine headache.read more

TL;DR: The main cause for the circulation disturbance in glaucoma seems rather to be a vascular dysregulation leading to local vasospasm and to systemic hypotension.

Glaucoma and vasospasm.
TL;DR: Vasospasm, previously associated with normal tension glaucoma, and generalised cardiovascular disease both appear to be specific risk factors for the development of particular subgroups of glau coma and may be independent of absolute intraocular pressure levels exerting effects in patients with both “normal” or “raised” intraocular Pressure.

TL;DR: Methods for using risk factors in clinical practice are described and ways that a large and complex body of knowledge can be applied to individual patients are described.

TL;DR: There has been a surge in the research on choroidal thickness and factors affecting it with the emergence of optical coherence tomography.

Optic disc hemorrhages in a population with and without signs of glaucoma.
TL;DR: The strong association of disc hemorrhage with open-angle glaucoma was confirmed and most disc hemorrhages (70%) were found in participants without definite signs of glAUcoma, which is higher than that in the two previous population-based reports.

Chi-Square Tests with One Degree of Freedom; Extensions of the Mantel-Haenszel Procedure
TL;DR: In this article, a method for analyzing multiple 2×2 contingency tables arising in retrospective studies of disease is extended in application and form, which includes comparisons of age-adjusted death rates, life-table analyses, comparisons of two sets of quantal dosage response data, and miscellaneous laboratory applications as appropriate.

Prevalence of migraine headache in the United States. Relation to age, income, race, and other sociodemographic factors.
TL;DR: The magnitude and distribution of the public health problem posed by migraine in the United States is described by examining migraine prevalence, attack frequency, and attack-related disability by gender, age, race, household income, geographic region, and urban vs rural residence.

TL;DR: The prevalence of open-angle glaucoma in Beaver Dam is similar to that in other white populations, and findings from this study re-emphasize the notion that estimates of glauca prevalence should be based on assessing multiple risk indicators.

TL;DR: Multivariate analyses showed both sex (women) and age (older) to be significant and independent predictors of poorer visual acuity.

The prevalence of glaucoma.
TL;DR: The occurrence of glaucoma was studied in a population comprising 1963 persons born during 1907 to 1921 and living in a small Swedish suburban and rural district and the reduction in visual capacity caused by glaucolysis in the present population was limited.
