Prediction of cardiovascular markers and diseases using retinal fundus images and deep learning: a systematic scoping review.

ABSTRACT: Rapid development in deep learning for image analysis inspired studies to focus on predicting cardiovascular risk using retinal fundus images. This scoping review aimed to identify and describe studies using retinal fundus images and deep learning to predict cardiovascular risk markers and diseases. We searched MEDLINE and Embase on 17 November 2023. Abstracts and relevant full-text articles were independently screened by two reviewers. We included studies that used deep learning for the analysis of retinal fundus images to predict cardiovascular risk markers or cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) and excluded studies only using predefined characteristics of retinal fundus images. Study characteristics were presented using descriptive statistics. We included 24 articles published between 2018 a
