The values given for TP, FP, FN, TN and sensitivity and specificity are our calculations, not those of Sandhu and Talks.46 Sandhu and Talks46 reported sensitivity and specificity including serous PED as presence of nAMD. However, as a serous PED did not fall within our definition of nAMD for diagnostic studies, data presented in the paper were recalculated accordingly. The values reported by Sandhu and Talks46 were SD-OCT, sensitivity 96.4%, specificity 66.0%; SD-OCT plus stereo colour fundus photographs, sensitivity 94.0%, specificity 89.4%.
