the SDMEAI Study: a Multi-center Epidemiological Study

April 16, 2021 updated by: Haotian Lin, Sun Yat-sen University

Effects of Systemic Diseases and Medications on Eye and Artificial Intelligence Model Development: a Multi-center Epidemiological Study

A variety of diseases in the Department of Rheumatology, Immunology, Nephrology, and Gastroenterology can cause eye lesions, and medications can also bring various adverse reactions, which can seriously reduce the quality of patients' daily life, bring additional economic burdens, and even threaten the lives of patients. This study aims to recruit patients from the aboved-mentioned departments and conduct a cross-sectional and cohort study. On one hand, we plan to compare the epidemiological characteristics of ocular lesions of systemic diseases and eye adverse drug effects in patients with rheumatology, immunology, nephrology and gastroenterology, and summarized some epidemiological indices such as prevalence, high-risk factors, etc. On the other hand, we plan to develop an artificial intelligence model after collecting certain case data. By selecting risk factors related to the occurrence of ocular lesions, we aim to train models that can predict the ocular manifestations of systemic diseases and medications.

Study Overview

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

Contacts and Locations

This section provides the contact details for those conducting the study, and information on where this study is being conducted.

Study Contact

Study Contact

The name and contact information for the person who can answer enrollment questions for a clinical study. Each location where the study is being conducted may also have a specific contact, who may be better able to answer those questions.

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

6 years to 80 years (ADULT, OLDER_ADULT, CHILD)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Yes

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

We will recruit patients from the Sixth Affiliated Hospital, Sun Yat-Sen University and invite them to take ocular examinations in Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center, Sun Yat-Sen University. The Sixth Affiliated Hospital, Sun Yat-Sen University is a tertiary general hospital in Guangzhou, Guangdong, China. It has various departments, such as rheumatology and immunology department, nephrology departent and gastroenterology department, providing abundant cases of systemic diseases.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Age 6-80 years old, gender is not limited
  • patients who have been diagnosed with systemic diseases;
  • patients who have ever or never used any ocular toxic drugs such as corticosteroids, chloroquine, etc.;
  • no history of glaucoma, cataract, scleritis, uveitis, ocular trauma, etc. before enrollment;
  • willing to complete follow-ups for at least 2 years.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Mainly use local therapies (intraocular, intra-articular and other non-systemic drug routes);
  • history of intraocular surgery (such as lens implantation, vitrectomy, retinal photocoagulation);
  • history of glaucoma, cataract, center serous retinopathy, etc.;
  • history of various diseases (such as scleritis, uveitis, eye trauma, etc.) that may cause opacity of the eye under the posterior capsule;
  • any other diseases or conditions that affect the observation, such as diabetes, low calcium convulsions, long-term exposure to radiation before enrollment;
  • subjects with endogenous corticosteroids, or psychiatric diseases.

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.
Intervention / Treatment

Study record dates

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 (ANTICIPATED)

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 22, 2021

Primary Completion (ANTICIPATED)

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.

Study Completion (ANTICIPATED)

Study Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention/treatment to collect final data for the primary outcome measures, secondary outcome measures, and adverse events (that is, the last participant's last visit). The "anticipated" study completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the study completion date.
