NCT05022615

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the quality of ocular images captured on 3 different cameras of patients with diabetic retinopathy. The study will determine whether diabetic retinopathy assessment is comparable between the cameras. The research is being done to see if a camera takes higher quality pictures over the other cameras. 60 participants will be enrolled into this study. Participants need to have diabetic eye disease. This is a one-time study visit that lasts approximately 1 hour.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) Severity Level within the 7 standard fields of Clarus, Optos, and Standard 7 Field imaging and statistical comparison

    The images captured within the 7 standard fields on each camera will be graded using the ETDRS severity scale. The total range of possible scores for severity level is from 10 (no DR) to 80 (PDR with vitreous hemorrhage); higher scores indicate increasing severity. Details of ETDRS severity scale: 10-No DR, 15-Probable DR, no MAs, 20-MAs only, 35-Mild NPDR, 43,47-Moderate NPDR, 53-Severe NPDR, 60-PDR status post scatter photocoagulation, 61,65,71-PDR, 80-PDR with vitreous hemorrhage, 90,95-Ungradable. ETDRS level agreement will be cross-tabulated and κ statistics calculated and assessed: \<0.20, poor; 0.21-0.40, fair; 0.41-0.60, moderate; 0.61-0.80, substantial; and 0.81-1.00, almost perfect strength of agreement. Unweighted κ will be used to avoid potential bias by weighting. Agreement will also be tested for each severity level and k statistics analyzed.

    1 day

  • Number of Ungradable ETDRS Images within the 7 standard fields of Clarus, Optos, and Standard 7 Field imaging

    The images captured within the 7 standard fields on each camera will be graded using the ETDRS severity scale. The proportion of ungradable images will be documented. On all tests, P \< 0.05 will be considered significant, and nonparametric testing will be applied where appropriate.

Study Arms (4)

Mild Non-Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy (NPDR)

Presence of at least one retinal microaneurysm or hemorrhage as determined by clinician.

Diagnostic Test: Topcon CameraDiagnostic Test: Optos CameraDiagnostic Test: Clarus Camera

Moderate NPDR

Increasing hemorrhages and microaneurysms as well as cotton wool spots, venous beading (VB) or Intraretinal microvascular abnormalities (IRMA) to a mild degree as determined by clinician

Diagnostic Test: Topcon CameraDiagnostic Test: Optos CameraDiagnostic Test: Clarus Camera

Severe NPDR

"4-2-1" rule-that is, one has severe NPDR if hemorrhages or microaneurysms, or both, appear in all four retinal quadrants; venous beading appears in two or more retinal quadrants; or prominent IRMAs are present in at least one retinal quadrant as determined by clinician.

Diagnostic Test: Topcon CameraDiagnostic Test: Optos CameraDiagnostic Test: Clarus Camera

Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy (PDR)

Neovascularization, either on or within one disc diameter (DD) of the optic disc (NVD) or elsewhere in the retina (NVE); a preretinal hemorrhage (PRH); or vitreous hemorrhage (VH) as determined by the clinician.

Diagnostic Test: Topcon CameraDiagnostic Test: Optos CameraDiagnostic Test: Clarus Camera

Sampling MethodNon-Probability Sample
Study Population

Patients (18 or older) with either Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes presenting at a single center of an ophthalmic retina practice for examination of diabetic retinopathy including color photography for standard medical care.
