Network meta-analysis of intraocular lens power calculation formulas based on artificial intelligence in short eyes
摘要
To systematically assess and compare the accuracy of artificial intelligence (AI) -based intraocular lens (IOL) power calculation formulas with traditional IOL formulas in patients with short eye length.
DesignA systematic review and network meta-analysis.
MethodsWe performed an exhaustive search of the PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library databases to identify relevant studies published until February 2024. The extracted data comprised the mean absolute error (MAE) and the percentage of eyes with refractive prediction errors (PE) within ± 0.50 and ± 1.00 diopters (D). Network meta-analysis was performed using Review Manager 5.3 and StataSE 16.0.
ResultsA network meta-analysis of 21 formulas was carried out in 10 studies, including 756 eyes with axial length (AL) < 22 mm. The results showed that the top AI-based formula was Pearl-DGS. For the percentage of eyes with PE within ± 0.50 D, the Pearl-DGS formula demonstrated the highest accuracy. In terms of the percentage of eyes with PE within ± 1.00 D, the FullMonte IOL formula performed poorly, and no significant differences were observed among the other formulas.
ConclusionsThe Pearl-DGS formula emerged as the leading AI-based method for determining IOL power in patients with short eye lengths, demonstrating superior accuracy compared to conventional vergence formulas.
