Can an artificial intelligence–based vascular severity score (VSS) be used for analyzing regression and reactivation of retinopathy of prematurity after anti–vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) treatment? In this prognostic study of 19 infants with retinopathy of prematurity who participated in the Comparing Alternative Ranibizumab Dosages for Safety and Efficacy in Retinopathy of Prematurity randomized clinical trial, VSS decreased rapidly after anti-VEGF treatment. In eyes requiring retreatment, VSS increased again at the time of retreatment; these eyes also displayed a greater change in VSS between baseline and week 1, before the need for retreatment became clinically apparent. These findings suggest that VSS after anti-VEGF treatment correlates with clinical disease severity and that the initial response in VSS to anti-VEGF therapy (from baseline to week 1) may help identify eyes that will later require retreatment. One of the biggest challenges when using anti–vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) agents to treat retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is the need to perform long-term follow-up examinations to identify eyes at risk of ROP reactivation requiring retreatment. To evaluate whether an artificial intelligence (AI)–based vascular severity score (VSS) can be used to analyze ROP regression and reactivation after anti-VEGF treatment and potentially identify eyes at risk of ROP reactivation requiring retreatment. This prognostic study was a secondary analysis of posterior pole fundus images collected during the multicenter, double-blind, investigator-initiated Comparing Alternative Ranibizumab Dosages for Safety and Efficacy in Retinopathy of Prematurity (CARE-ROP) randomized clinical trial, which compared 2 different doses of ranibizumab (0.12 mg vs 0.20 mg) for the treatment of ROP. The CARE-ROP trial screened and enrolled infants between September 5, 2014, and July 14, 2016. A total of 1046 wide-angle fundus images obtained from 19 infants at predefined study time points were analyzed. The analyses of VSS were performed between January 20, 2021, and November 18, 2022. An AI-based algorithm assigned a VSS between 1 (normal) and 9 (most severe) to fundus images. Analysis of VSS in infants with ROP over time and VSS comparisons between the 2 treatment groups (0.12 mg vs 0.20 mg of ranibizumab) and between infants who did and did not receive retreatment for ROP reactivation. Among 19 infants with ROP in the CARE-ROP randomized clinical trial, the median (range) postmenstrual age at first treatment was 36.4 (34.7-39.7) weeks; 10 infants (52.6%) were male, and 18 (94.7%) were White. The mean (SD) VSS was 6.7 (1.9) at baseline and significantly decreased to 2.7 (1.9) at week 1 (P < .001) and 2.9 (1.3) at week 4 (P < .001). The mean (SD) VSS of infants with ROP reactivation requiring retreatment was 6.5 (1.9) at the time of retreatment, which was significantly higher than the VSS at week 4 (P < .001). No significant difference was found in VSS between the 2 treatment groups, but the change in VSS between baseline and week 1 was higher for infants who later required retreatment (mean [SD], 7.8 [1.3] at baseline vs 1.7 [0.7] at week 1) vs infants who did not (mean [SD], 6.4 [1.9] at baseline vs 3.0 [2.0] at week 1). In eyes requiring retreatment, higher baseline VSS was correlated with earlier time of retreatment (Pearson r = −0.9997; P < .001). In this study, VSS decreased after ranibizumab treatment, consistent with clinical disease regression. In cases of ROP reactivation requiring retreatment, VSS increased again to values comparable with baseline values. In addition, a greater change in VSS during the first week after initial treatment was found to be associated with a higher risk of later ROP reactivation, and high baseline VSS was correlated with earlier retreatment. These findings may have implications for monitoring ROP regression and reactivation after anti-VEGF treatment. This prognostic study evaluates whether an artificial intelligence–based vascular severity score can be used to analyze regression and reactivation of retinopathy of prematurity after anti-vascular endothelial growth factor treatment among infants with retinopathy of prematurity.
