To demonstrate methods for receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) analysis of correlated eye data. We applied the Obuchowski’s nonparametric approach and cluster bootstrap for estimating and comparing the area under ROC curve (AUC) between different sets of predictors to three datasets with varying inter-eye correlation. In an optic neuritis (ON) study of 152 eyes (80 patients), the AUC of optical coherence tomography retinal nerve fiber layer thickness for diagnosing ON (inter-eye kappa = 0.13) was 0.71 [95% confidence interval (95% CI): 0.622, 0.792] from the naïve approach without accounting for inter-eye correlation was narrower than from nonparametric (95% CI: 0.613, 0.801) or cluster bootstrap (95% CI: 0.614, 0.797) approaches. In an analysis of 198 eyes (135 patients), the baseline Age-related Eye disease Study scale predicted 5-year incidence of advanced age-related macular degeneration (inter-eye kappa = 0.23) with AUC of 0.72. The 95% CI from the naïve approach was slightly narrower (0.645, 0.794) than from the nonparametric (0.641, 0.797) or cluster bootstrap (0.641, 0.793) approaches. In an analysis of 1542 eyes (771 infants), birthweight and gestational age predicted treatment-requiring retinopathy of prematurity (inter-eye kappa = 0.98) with AUC of 0.80. Furthermore, the 95% CI from the naïve approach was narrower (0.769, 0.835) than from the nonparametric (0.755, 0.848) or cluster bootstrap (0.755, 0.845) approaches. 95% CIs for AUC differences between different models were narrower in the naïve approach than the nonparametric or cluster bootstrap approaches. In ROC analysis of correlated eye data, ignoring inter-eye correlation leads to narrower 95% CI with underestimation dependent on magnitude of inter-eye correlation. Nonparametric and cluster bootstrap approaches properly account for inter-eye correlation.
