A study of whether automated Diabetic Retinopathy Image Assessment could replace manual grading steps in the English National Screening Programme

Conclusions
Retinopathy prevalence was similar to other English diabetic screening programmes, so findings should be generalizable. The study population size will allow the detection of differences in screening performance between the human and automated grading systems as small as 2%. The project will compare performance and economic costs of manual versus automated systems.
