    Abstract: To evaluate the ability of certified retinal imagers to identify presence versus absence of sight-threatening diabetic retinopathy (stDR) (moderate nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy or worse or diabetic macular edema) at the time of retinal imaging in a telemedicine program. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Diabetic patients in a primary care setting or specialty diabetes clinic received Joslin Vision Network protocol retinal imaging as part of their care. Trained nonphysician imagers graded the presence versus absence of stDR at the time of imaging. These gradings were compared with masked gradings of certified readers. RESULTS Of 158 patients (316 eyes) imaged, all cases of stDR (42 eyes [13%]) were identified by the imagers at the time of imaging. Six eyes with mild nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy were graded by the imagers to have stDR (sensitivity 1.00, 95% CI 0.90–1.00; specificity 0.97, 0.94–0.99). CONCLUSIONS Appropriately trained imagers can accurately identify stDR at the time of imaging.

    Abstract: To evaluate the ability of trained nonphysician retinal imagers to perform diabetic retinopathy (DR) evaluation at the time of ultrawide field retinal (UWF) imaging in a teleophthalmology program. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Clinic patients with diabetes received Joslin Vision Network protocol retinal imaging as part of their standard medical care. Retinal imagers evaluated UWF images for referable DR at the time of image capture. Training of the imagers included 4 h of standardized didactic lectures and 12 h of guided image review. Real-time evaluations were compared with standard masked gradings performed at a centralized reading center. RESULTS A total of 3,978 eyes of 1,989 consecutive patients were imaged and evaluated. By reading center evaluation, 3,769 eyes (94.7%) were gradable for DR, 1,376 (36.5%) had DR, and 580 (15.3%) had referable DR. Compared with the reading center, real-time image evaluation had a sensitivity and specificity for identifying more than minimal DR of 0.95 (95% CI 0.94–0.97) and 0.84 (0.82–0.85), respectively, and 0.99 (0.97–1.00) and 0.76 (0.75–0.78), respectively, for detecting referable DR. Only three patients with referable DR were not identified by imager evaluation. CONCLUSIONS Point-of-care evaluation of UWF images by nonphysician imagers following standardized acquisition and evaluation protocols within an established teleophthalmology program had good sensitivity and specificity for detection of DR and for identification of referable retinal disease. With immediate image evaluation, & lt;0.1% of patients with referable DR would be missed, reading center image grading burden would be reduced by 60%, and patient feedback would be expedited.

    Abstract: Despite treatment advances, diabetic eye disease remains a leading cause of visual acuity (VA) loss worldwide. No methods to prospectively determine which patients will gain or lose vision exist, limiting individualized risk assessment and management. We investigated whether noninvasive, readily obtainable spectral domain optical coherence tomography parameters were correlated with VA in eyes with current or resolved center-involved diabetic macular edema (DME). Images were evaluated for disorganization of the retinal inner layers (DRIL), cysts, epiretinal membranes, microaneurysms, subretinal fluid, and outer layer disruption/reflectivity. DRIL affecting ≥50% of the 1-mm central retinal zone was associated with worse VA in all eyes, eyes with current edema, and eyes with resolved edema. Furthermore, early 4-month change in DRIL extent predicted VA change from baseline to 1 year. These data suggest that DRIL is a robust predictor of VA in eyes with present or previous DME and more highly correlated with VA than other widely used measures, such as retinal thickness. If further studies confirm DRIL as a predictive biomarker of future VA, physicians would gain a new tool of substantial clinical and investigative importance that could significantly change the approach to ophthalmic counseling and therapeutic management in patients with diabetes.

    Abstract: Vision-threatening DR (vtDR) is commonly defined as moderate nonproliferative or more severe DR, or the presence of diabetic macular edema (DME). Modifiable risk factors of DR and vtDR are well-established in adults. This study identified risk factors associated with DR and vtDR in a large pediatric cohort with T1D. Medical chart review was performed of baseline visits of pediatric (≤21 yrs old) patients at an academic eye center from 2005-2020 to collect demographic characteristics, medical history and DR severity. Analyses were adjusted for correlation between eyes of the same person. In total, 1735 subjects (3454 eyes) were included with mean±SD age 15.4±4.6 years, T1D duration 7.1±5.3 years, T1D onset 8.3±5.4 years, and A1c 8.4±1.3; 50.7% were female, 30.7% were overweight/obese and 4.1% had elevated/high BP. Any DR was present in 8.5% and vtDR in 2.4% of eyes. Unadjusted analyses found DR presence associated with higher A1c (p & lt;.0001), longer T1D duration (p & lt;.0001), younger age of T1D onset (p=0.0002), older age (p & lt;.0001), female sex (p=0.001), higher BMI (p & lt;.0001) and elevated/high BP (p & lt;.0001). After backwards elimination modeling, older age (p & lt;.0001), longer T1D duration (p=0.002) and higher A1c (p=0.01) were significantly associated with DR. In unadjusted analyses, vtDR was associated with higher A1c (p & lt;.0001), longer T1D duration (p & lt;.0001), younger age of T1D onset (p=0.001), older age (p & lt;.0001), female sex (p=0.009), higher BMI (p=0.009) and elevated/high BP (p & lt;.0001). Using backwards elimination modeling, older age (p & lt;.0001), younger age of T1D onset (p & lt;.0001) and elevated/high BP (p=0.0007) were significantly related to vtDR. In this pediatric cohort, DR or vtDR were present in 8.5% of eyes and were associated with modifiable risk factors of hyperglycemia and elevated BP. Future longitudinal studies can assess if early intervention to improve glycemic control and BP can reduce vtDR in youth with T1D. Disclosure C. Jacoba: None. K. Sampani: None. C. Gilbert: None. P.

    Abstract: To compare efficiency of nonmydriatic ultrawide field retinal imaging (UWFI) and nonmydriatic fundus photography (NMFP) in a diabetic retinopathy (DR) ocular telehealth program. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Patients in this retrospective, comparative cohort study underwent NMFP and UWFI between 1 November 2011 and 1 November 2012. Images were evaluated for DR and diabetic macular edema (DME) by certified graders using a standard protocol at a centralized reading center. Identification of DR, image evaluation time, and rate of ungradable eyes were compared. RESULTS NMFP and UWFI were performed in 1,633 and 2,170 consecutive patients, respectively. No statistically significant differences were found between groups regarding age, diabetes duration, sex, ethnicity, or insulin use. The ungradable rate per patient for DR (2.9 vs. 9.9%, P & lt; 0.0001) and DME (3.8 vs. 8.8%, P & lt; 0.0001) was lower with UWFI than with NMFP. With UWFI, the median image evaluation time per patient was reduced from 12.8 to 9.2 min (P & lt; 0.0001). The identification of patients with DR (38.4 vs. 33.8%) and vision-threatening DR (14.5 vs. 11.9%) was increased with UWFI versus NMFP. In a consecutive subgroup of 502 eyes of 301 patients with DR, the distribution of peripheral retinal lesions outside Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study fields suggested a more severe DR level in 9.0% (45 eyes). CONCLUSIONS In a standardized DR ocular telehealth program, nonmydriatic UWFI reduced the ungradable rate by 71% (to & lt;3%) and reduced image evaluation time by 28%. DR was identified 17% more frequently after UWFI, and DR peripheral lesions suggested a more severe DR level in 9%. These data suggest that UWFI may improve efficiency of ocular telehealth programs evaluating DR and DME.

    Abstract: Estimating the risk of diabetic retinopathy (DR) progression is one of the most important and difficult tasks when caring for individuals with diabetic eye disease. Current DR severity scales have informed clinicians on the progression risk and provided recommendations for follow-up and treatment. The use of artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms may improve in this process. In this study, we developed and validated machine learning (ML) models for DR progression from ultrawide field (UWF) retinal images, which were labeled for baseline DR severity and progression based on clinician review of the images and 3-year longitudinal follow-up using the Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) severity scale. This dataset has 8 classes: no DR nonprogression (14.62%), Mild nonproliferative DR (NPDR) progression (10.16%) /nonprogression (10.73%), Moderate NPDR progression (10.1%) /nonprogression (15.85%), Severe NPDR progression (11.27%) /nonprogression (10.68%), and proliferative DR (16.55%). A total of 9970 unique images were split into the train, the validation, and the test datasets based on 60-20-20 proportions. The class imbalance was addressed during model building through data augmentation. The ResNet model fine-tuned on this dataset has a classification test accuracy of 81% and an AUC of 0.967 on the test dataset. The objective of the model is to reduce false negatives, which refers to predicting a class that is less progressive than the true label. The predicted labels for 91% of the images were either correct labels or were the labels with greater progression than the original labels. These findings demonstrate the accuracy and feasibility of using machine learning models for identifying DR progression developed using UWF images. Potentially, the use of machine learning algorithms may further refine the risk of disease progression and personalize screening intervals that may reduce costs and improve vision-related outcomes.

    Abstract: In observational data, lower levels of lipoprotein(a) have been associated with greater prevalence of type 2 diabetes. Whether pharmacologic lowering of lipoprotein(a) influences incident type 2 diabetes is unknown. We determined the relationship of lipoprotein(a) concentration with incident type 2 diabetes and effects of treatment with alirocumab, a PCSK9 inhibitor. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS In the ODYSSEY OUTCOMES trial alirocumab was compared with placebo in patients with acute coronary syndrome. Incident diabetes was determined from laboratory, medication, and adverse event data. RESULTS Among 13,480 patients without diabetes at baseline, 1,324 developed type 2 diabetes over a median 2.7 years. Median baseline lipoprotein(a) was 21.9 mg/dL. With placebo, 10 mg/dL lower baseline lipoprotein(a) was associated with hazard ratio 1.04 (95% CI 1.02−1.06, P & lt; 0.001) for incident type 2 diabetes. Alirocumab reduced lipoprotein(a) by a median 23.2% with greater absolute reductions from higher baseline levels and no overall effect on incident type 2 diabetes (hazard ratio 0.95, 95% CI 0.85–1.05). At low baseline lipoprotein(a) levels, alirocumab tended to reduce incident type 2 diabetes, while at high baseline lipoprotein(a) alirocumab tended to increase incident type 2 diabetes compared with placebo (treatment–baseline lipoprotein(a) interaction P = 0.006). In the alirocumab group, a 10 mg/dL decrease in lipoprotein(a) from baseline was associated with hazard ratio 1.07 (95% CI 1.03−1.12; P = 0.0002) for incident type 2 diabetes. CONCLUSIONS In patients with acute coronary syndrome, baseline lipoprotein(a) concentration associated inversely with incident type 2 diabetes. Alirocumab had neutral overall effect on incident type 2 diabetes. However, treatment-related reductions in lipoprotein(a), more pronounced from high baseline levels, were associated with increased risk of incident type 2 diabetes. Whether these findings pertain to other therapies that reduce lipoprotein(a) is undetermined.
