Registration Number
NCT05131451
Lead Sponsor
Johns Hopkins University
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine if providing in clinic point-of-care autonomous AI diabetic retinopathy exams improves screening rates compared to standard of care referral to an eye care provider, in a randomized control trial in a racially and ethnically diverse cohort of youth.

Detailed Description

This study will recruit 164 individuals ages 8-21 with type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Participants will be randomized to usual care (referral to an eye care provider for a dilated eye exam) or the intervention arm and undergo a point-of-care diabetic eye exam using autonomous AI software on a non-mydriatic fundus camera. Participants in the intervention group will receive the diabetic eye exam results immediately from the autonomous AI system, and if abnormal will be referred to an eye care provider for a dilated eye exam. Participants in the standard of care group will have 6 months to complete the diabetic eye exam.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Number of Participants Who Get Screened With a Diabetic Eye Exam6 months

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Follow-up Rates With an Eye Care Provider6 months

The number of patients that follow-up with an eye care provider (ECP), for participants in the standard of care group referred to ECP, and for participants in the AI group with an abnormal exam result that are then referred to the ECP for a dilated eye exam.
