Exploring the effect of gestational diabetes mellitus on retinal vascular morphology by PKSEA-Net by Ligang Jiang, Yimei Ji, Mengting Liu, Ruolin Fang, Zhentao Zhu, Meizhen Zhang, Yuhua Tong

“…BackgroundGestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a temporary metabolic disorder in which small retinal vessels may have experience subtle changes before clinical lesions of the fundus retina appear. An innovative artificial intelligence image processing technology was applied to locate and analyze the small retinal vessel morphology and accurately evaluate the changes of the small retinal vessels in GDM patients and pregnant women with normal blood glucose and non-pregnant women with normal blood glucose.MethodsThe subjects were divided into three groups:GDM group, pregnant control group (PC), and normal control group (NC). …”
