Prediction of visual outcomes by an artificial neural network following intravitreal injection and laser therapy for retinopathy of prematurity

Aims To construct a program to predict the visual acuity (VA), best corrected VA (BCVA) and spherical equivalent (SE) of patients with retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) from 3 to 12 years old after intravitreal injection (IVI) of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor and/or laser photocoagulation treatment. Methods This retrospective study employed a feedforward artificial neural network with an error backpropagation learning algorithm to...
