Assessment of Retinopathy of Prematurity Regression and Reactivation Using an Artificial Intelligence-Based Vascular Severity Score.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

One of the biggest challenges when using anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) agents to treat retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is the need to perform long-term follow-up examinations to identify eyes at risk of ROP reactivation requiring retreatment.

Objective

To evaluate whether an artificial intelligence (AI)-based vascular severity score (VSS) can be used to analyze ROP regression and reactivation after anti-VEGF treatment and potentially identify eyes at risk of ROP reactivation requiring retreatment.

Design, setting, and participants

This prognostic study was a secondary analysis of posterior pole fundus images collected during the multicenter, double-blind, investigator-initiated Comparing Alternative Ranibizumab Dosages for Safety and Effic
