Objective: The aim of present study was to evaluate our clinical decision support system (CDSS) for predicting risk of diabetic retinopathy (DR). We selected randomly a real population of patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) who were attending our screening programme.
Methods And Analysis: The sample size was 602 patients with T2DM randomly selected from those who attended the DR screening programme.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to validate a clinical decision support system (CDSS) that predicts the risk of diabetic retinopathy (DR) and customizes screening for patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM).
- A sample of over 101,000 T2DM patients was analyzed using electronic health records and retinal photographs, revealing a DR prevalence of nearly 20%.
- The CDSS demonstrated high accuracy (87.6%), sensitivity (84%), and specificity (88.5%), suggesting it can effectively personalize screening protocols based on individual risk factors.
