Deep Learning Retinal Diseases | Device: Retinal multi-diseases diagnosed by DL algorithm Other: Retinal multi-diseases diagnosed by expert panel |
Retinal diseases seriously threaten vision and quality of life, but they often develop insidiously. To date, deep learning (DL) algorithms have shown high prospects in biomedical science, particularly in the diagnosis of ocular diseases, such as diabetic retinopathy, age-related macular degeneration, retinopathy of prematurity, glaucoma, and papilledema. However, there is still a lack of a single algorithm that can classify multi-diseases from fundus photography.
This cross-sectional study will establish a DL algorithm to automatically classify multi-diseases from fundus photography and differentiate major vision-threatening conditions and other retinal abnormalities. We will use the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve to examine the ability of recognition and classification of diseases. Taken the results of the expert panel as the gold standard, we will use the evaluation indexes, such as sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, etc, to compare the diagnostic capacity between the AI recognition system and human ophthalmologist.

- Area under curve [ Time Frame: 1 week ]We will use the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve to examine the ability of recognition and classification of diseases. Taken the results of the expert panel as the gold standard, we will use the area under curve to compare the diagnostic capacity between the AI recognition system and human ophthalmologist.
- Sensitivity and specificity [ Time Frame: 1 week ]Taken the results of the expert panel as the gold standard, we will use sensitivity and specificity to compare the diagnostic capacity between the AI recognition system and human ophthalmologist.
- Positive and negative predictive value [ Time Frame: 1 week ]Taken the results of the expert panel as the gold standard, we will use positive and negative predictive value to compare the diagnostic capacity between the AI recognition system and human ophthalmologist.
- Accuracy [ Time Frame: 1 week ]Taken the results of the expert panel as the gold standard, we will use accuracy to compare the diagnostic capacity between the AI recognition system and human ophthalmologist.
