Video Screening for Visual Impairment of Infants

Completed
Conditions
Visual Impairment
Behavioral Dynamics
Registration Number
NCT04237350
Lead Sponsor
Sun Yat-sen University
Brief Summary

An individual senses the world and reflects feedbacks via independent behaviors. Such precise collaboration of the sensory and behavioral systems is fundamental to survival and evolution. When a sensory modality is altered, the behavioral system has the potential to fit in a substitute modality. However, the specific dynamics of human behaviors in response to sensory loss remain largely unknown due to the paucities of representative situations and large-scale samples.

Here, the investigators focused on thousands of human infants who suffered varying degrees of visual stimuli deficiency in early stages, while their behavioral systems remained sensitive and thus retained high behavioral plasticity. Having access to this unique population provides an unprecedented opportunity to investigate the effect of diverse visual conditions on the behavioral system and develop a domestic apparatus for screening visual impariment of infants.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
The AUC of model based on analyzing the behavioral dynamicsbaseline

Normal or abnormal behavioral dynamics of infants are recorded by mobile phones. Five experienced ophthalmologists identify the occurence of abnormal behaviors independently, and 2 professors with over 10 years of experience in pediatric ophthalmology department are consulted in cases of disagreement. The AUC of model based on analyzing the behavioral dynamics will be calculated.
