AI Prediction of Treatment Response in DME

Completed
View on ClinicalTrials.gov →
Summary
Diabetic macular edema (DME) is a leading cause of vision loss among individuals with diabetes mellitus. Although intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) therapy is the standard treatment for center-involved DME, treatment response varies considerably between patients. Recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI), including machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL), have enabled automated analysis of retinal imaging biomarkers to predict anatomical and functional treatment outcomes. This study aims to systematically evaluate published evidence regarding AI-based prediction models and imaging biomarkers used to predict treatment response in patients with DME. The review will assess the predictive performance of AI models, identify the most important imaging biomarkers, compare different AI approaches and imaging modalities, and summarize methodological strengths, limitations, and research gaps to support future development of precision ophthalmology.
