About this study

Official title: Prediction of Incident Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease From Retinal Photographs Via Deep Learning

The research team has developed a deep learning algorithm that predicts anthropometric factors from fundus photographs and an algorithm that predicts cardiovascular disease risk. Fundus photographs are taken for various cardiovascular diseases (myocardial infarction, heart failure, hypertension with target organ damage, high-risk dyslipidemia, diabetic patients, and low-risk hypertension patients), and a deep learning algorithm for predicting developed anthropometric factors will be validated. Fundus photographs will also be taken twice in the first year, and additional fundus photographs will be taken two years later. Major cardiovascular events will be followed up for 5 years to verify the deep learning algorithm predicting cardiovascular disease risk prospectively.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cardiovascular Disease, run by Yonsei University at 1 site in South Korea.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 8 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Feb 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in South Korea. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Sungha Park (+82-2228-8460, shpark0530@yuhs.ac), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Major adverse cardiovascular disease (time frame: 4 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 11 Feb 2021.
