About this trial
The purpose of this study is to determine if use of a nonmydriatic fundus camera using autonomous artificial intelligence software at the point of care increases the proportion of underserved youth with diabetes screened for diabetic retinopathy, and to determine the diagnostic accuracy of the autonomous AI system in detecting diabetic retinopathy from retinal images of youth with diabetes.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Diagnosis of Type 1 diabetes for ≥3 years, and age 11 or in puberty
Diagnosis of Type 2 diabetes
Patients with Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes,
8-21 years of age with known diabetic retinopathy (true positives).
Disqualifiers
Known diabetic eye exam in the last 12 months
Trial design
Single group
Treatments tested in this trial
Point of Care Autonomous AI diabetic retinopathy exam
Diagnostic testParticipants will undergo point-of-care diabetic retinopathy screening using autonomous artificial intelligence software to interpret retinal images taken with a non-mydriatic fundus camera and providing an immediate result.
Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Proportion screened for diabetic retinopathy
Equivalence in proportion screened for diabetic retinopathy of white and non-white youth with autonomous AI
Secondary outcomes
Percentage of agreement in interpretation of retinal images
Agreement in interpretation of retinal images between autonomous AI and consensus grading by ophthalmologists
Sensitivity of autonomous AI vs. prognostic standard
Sensitivity of autonomous AI in detecting diabetic retinopathy in youth compared to the prognostic standard. This will be analyzed in the ACCESS2 trial cohort alone, and also in the ACCESS2 trial cohort with the enriched cohort of youth with known diabetic retinopathy.
Specificity of autonomous AI vs. prognostic standard
Specificity of autonomous AI in detecting diabetic retinopathy in youth compared to the prognostic standard. This will be analyzed in the ACCESS2 trial cohort alone, and also in the ACCESS2 trial cohort with the enriched cohort of youth with known diabetic retinopathy.
Proportion with diabetic retinopathy
Proportion of participants with diabetic retinopathy, including none, mild, moderate or severe DR.
