Key Points

  • This research aims to evaluate the impact of UWF-OCT on the accuracy of diagnosing retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) zones.
  • Utilized UWF-OCT imaging to assess ROP vascularization patterns
  • Analyzed diagnostic accuracy compared to traditional methods
  • Evaluated bias in temporal retina zone classification by clinicians
  • UWF-OCT improved ROP zone diagnosis precision and accuracy
  • Evidence of nasal-temporal asymmetry affecting ROP classification decisions
  • Clinicians exhibited significant bias in classifying temporal zones despite defined ICROP parameters

Abstract

UWF-OCT can improve the precision and accuracy of ROP zone diagnosis. UWF-OCT visualization demonstrates nasal-temporal asymmetry in ROP vascularization, and diagnostic bias for the temporal retina zone classification among ROP clinicians, despite the ICROP definition.
