Condition: Diabete Mellitus · Cognitive Impairment · Sponsor: Ospedale San Raffaele
Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) is the most frequent complication of diabetes, and its presence and severity are related to the appearance of both micro and macrovascular events. Risk profiles have been suggested as a major direction for research in diabetes, based on non- invasive retinal imaging evaluations. There has been promising evidence that artificial intelligence (AI) based on fundus photographs can detect clinical metrics and systemic conditions invisible to expert human observers. Notably, deep-learning (DL) convolutional neural networks (CNNs) developed for retinal photographs have been shown superior performance in the detection of DR compared with human assessment. The relationship between retinal vascular abnormalities and neurovascular complications of diabetes has been reported. The retina is a window to the body that allows a non-invasive observation of microvascular and neural tissues. However, in clinical practice there are no reported phenotypic indicators or reliable examinations to identify type 2 diabetic (T2D) patients with neurodegenerative/cognitive impairment. The presence of cognitive Impairment is a very frequent complication in diabetic patients, reported up to 60% of the diabetics when compared to only 11 % in the non-diabetics (OR of 8.78). Furthermore, AI based on retinal imaging has never been applied before to predict the onset and worsening of neurodegenerative/cognitive impairment of T2D in a real-world setting. The aim of this project is t…
