This study explores the use of deep learning (DL) for automated detection of Type 1 retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), Type 2 ROP, and aggressive ROP (A-ROP) using fundus images. A RegNetY002 convolutional neural network (CNN) model was trained on 634 fundus images from 317 premature infants. The model demonstrated high accuracy and specificity in distinguishing between different ROP types and stages, with AUC scores ranging from 0.85 to 0.98. The integration of this DL-based AI algorithm into clinical practice could potentially reduce ophthalmologist workload and improve decision-making in ROP management.
