Abstract

PurposeThis study aims to identify the available literature describing the utilization of artificial intelligence (AI) as a clinical tool in uveal diseases.MethodsA comprehensive literature search was conducted in 5 electronic databases, finding studies relating to AI and uveal diseases.ResultsAfter screening 10,258 studies,18 studies met the inclusion criteria. Uveal melanoma (44%) and uveitis (56%) were the two uveal diseases examined. Ten studies (56%) used complex AI, while 13 studies (72%) used regression methods. Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), found in 50% of studies concerning uveal melanoma, was the only biomarker that overlapped in multiple studies. However, 94% of studies highlighted that the biomarkers of interest were significant.ConclusionThis study highlights the value of using complex and simple AI tools as a clinical tool in uveal diseases. Particularly, complex AI methods can be used to weigh the merit of significant biomarkers, such as LDH, in order to create staging tools and predict treatment outcomes.
