[Clinical electroretinography: standard protocol and normal values].
The International Standard of Clinical Electroretinography serves as standard protocol for recording electroretinographic responses in order to facilitate worldwide comparisons of examinations. To promote its distribution and acceptance throughout the German speaking countries, we established normal values for the five standard responses and added a German translation of the International Standard in the appendix. To determine normal values for electroretinographic data we suggest to use percentiles instead of parameters based on a Gaussian distribution. Patient-related (age, sex) and -unrelated (interstimulus-interval, diurnal rhythm) parameters proved to influence the data values significantly. With these variables taken into account one can increase the clinical value of electroretinography in terms of a greater reliability and predictiveness of data.
