Overview
The aim of the study is to identify morphological and functional biomarkers of post-operative recovery after vitreoretinal surgery, using decisional support systems (DSS), based on multimodal big-data analysis by means of machine learning techniques in daily clinical practice
Description
The aim of the study is to identify morphological and functional biomarkers of post-operative recovery after vitreoretinal surgery. Identifying the biomarkers and assessing the predictivity of recovery will make it possible to highlight the categories of patients who can benefit most from surgical treatment, and to target the patient more precisely for personalised medicine and surgery. The introduction of new decisional support systems (DSS), based on multimodal big-data analysis through machine learning techniques in daily clinical practice, is providing new useful information in patient assessment for personalised surgery.
Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria:
- All patients to undergo vitreo-retinal surgery for:
- Macular hole
- Epiretinal membranes
- Retinal detachment
- Macular dystrophies (retinal pre-prosthesis)
Exclusion Criteria:
- Patients under 18 years of age will be excluded; patients in whom morphological examinations cannot be performed due to poor cooperation or opacity of the dioptric media (e.g. corneal pathology). Quality of morphological images inadequate for post acquisition processing (<6/10).
