Background/objectives: An affordable and scalable screening model is critical for undetected glaucoma. The study evaluated the performance of an offline, smartphone-based AI system for the detection of referable glaucoma against two benchmarks: specialist diagnosis following full glaucoma workup and consensus image grading.
Subjects/methods: This prospective study (tertiary glaucoma centre, India) included 243 subjects with varying severity of glaucoma and control group without glaucoma.
Article Synopsis
- The study explores the COVIDSeq protocol for efficient diagnosis and genetic analysis of SARS-CoV-2, highlighting its effectiveness in handling high-throughput testing during the COVID-19 pandemic.
- Results show that COVIDSeq has a high concordance with traditional RT-PCR tests and even identified cases that were missed by RT-PCR, emphasizing its viability as a confirmatory testing method.
- The research also contributes to the understanding of the genetic diversity of SARS-CoV-2, reporting new lineages and a high number of unique genetic variants for the first time in India.
