Adjust reference interval
The score produced by the DR Assessment Protocol correlates with the presence and
severity of diabetic retinopathy and clinically significant macular edema. Patients with
more-severe levels of diabetic retinopathy will typically have higher test scores (Maa et
al. 2016).
The default reference interval for RETeval-DR is set at 7.0-19.9; this reference interval
can be adjusted to trade off sensitivity, specificity, and negative predictive values by
varying the upper point of the reference interval, as shown in the examples below.
