description Objective: To evaluate the accuracy and feasibility of the auto-detection of 15 retinal disorders with artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted optical coherence tomography (OCT) in community screening.Methods: A total of 954 eyes of 477 subjects from four local communities were enrolled in this study from September to December 2021. They received OCT scans covering an area of 12 mm × 9 mm at the posterior pole retina involving the macular and optic disc, as well as other ophthalmic examinations performed using their demographic information recorded. The OCT images were analyzed using integrated software with the previously established algorithm based on the deep-learning method and trained to detect 15 kinds of retinal disorders, namely, pigment epithelial detachment (PED), posterior vitreous detachment (PVD), epiretinal membranes (ERMs), sub-retinal fluid (SRF), choroidal neovascularization (CNV), drusen, retinoschisis, cystoid macular edema (CME), exudation, macular hole (MH), retinal detachment (RD), ellipsoid zone disruption, focal choroidal excavation (FCE), choroid atrophy, and retinal hemorrhage. Meanwhile, the diagnosis was also generated from three groups of individual ophthalmologists (group of retina specialists, senior ophthalmologists, and junior ophthalmologists) and compared with those by the AI. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC), sensitivity, and specificity were calculated, and kappa statistics were performed.Results: A total of 878 eyes were finally enrolled, with 76 excluded due to poor image quality. In the detection of 15 retinal disorders, the ROC curve comparison between AI and professors’ presented relatively large AUC (0.891–0.997), high sensitivity (87.65–100%), and high specificity (80.12–99.41%). Among the ROC curve comparisons with those by the retina specialists, AI was the closest one to the professors’ compared to senior and junior ophthalmologists (p < 0.05).Conclusion: AI-assisted OCT is highly accurate, sensitive, and specific in auto-detection of 15 kinds of retinal disorders, certifying its feasibility and effectiveness in community ophthalmic screening.
