Deep Learning-based System and AIDS-related Cytomegalovirus Retinitis

July 20, 2021 updated by: Kuifang Du

Deep Learning-based System for Detection of AIDS-related Cytomegalovirus Retinitis in Ultra-Widefield Fundus Images

Ophthalmological screening for cytomegalovirus retinitis (CMVR) for HIV/AIDS patients is important. However, the manual screening with fundus imaging is laborious and subjective.

Deep learning (DL) system has been developed for the automated detection of various eye diseases with high accuracy and efficiency, including diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, age-related macular degeneration (AMD), papilledema, lattice degeneration and retinal breaks, from ocular fundus photographs. UWF imaging is a relatively new imaging modality for DL system but has also shown extraordinary talents in automatic retinal analysis With the press for routine CMVR screening in AIDS patients and the great capacity of DL system, the use of deep learning (DL) system to AIDS-related CMVR with Ultra-Widefield (UWF) fundus images is promising.

The investigators previously developed a DL system to detect AIDS-related CMVR. For further evaluating the applicability of the DL system, a prospective dataset is needed.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Study Type

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

AIDS patients undergoing OPTOS camera (OPTOS® Daytona) from Department of Ophthalmology, Beijing Youan Hospital, were prospectively collected as a prospective dataset.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

The UWF images from HIV/AIDS patients.

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. The UWF images would be excluded if all three human graders gave different diagnosis.
  2. The UWF images with poor quality would be excluded.

Study Plan

This section provides details of the study plan, including how the study is designed and what the study is measuring.

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort

Group / Cohort

A group or subgroup of participants in an observational study that is assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.
Active CMVR
The UWF images of cytomegalovirus retinitis (CMVR) included various patterns: hemorrhagic necrotizing lesion, granular lesion, frosted branch angiitis, and optic neuropathy lesion. Active CMVR lesion was defined as obvious opacity (mild, moderate, severe, very severe)
Inactive CMVR
Inactive CMVR lesion was defined as a lack of opacity or questionable/equivocal activity.
Non-CMVR
The non-CMVR images included normal retina and other retinopathies such as HIV-related microvascular retinopathy, diabetic retinopathy, retinal detachment, vitreous hemorrhage.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Evaluating the applicability of the DL system to identify AIDS-related CMVR
Time Frame: April 2021
The investigators compared the performance between two trained (senior and junior) retinal ophthalmologists with the DL system. A senior retinal ophthalmologist and a junior retinal ophthalmologist were asked to independently screen the UWF images in the prospective dataset. Accuracy, sensitivity and specificity were used to evaluate the performance.

These dates track the progress of study record and summary results submissions to ClinicalTrials.gov. Study records and reported results are reviewed by the National Library of Medicine (NLM) to make sure they meet specific quality control standards before being posted on the public website.

Study Major Dates

Study Start (Actual)

Study Start

The actual date on which the first participant was enrolled in a clinical study. The "anticipated" study start date is the date that the researchers think will be the study start date.
April 1, 2021

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
