Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
a.Develop an effective risk prediction model for identifying high-risk individuals b. To develop a high sensitivity, specificity, high negative reassurance for screen individuals, high positive predictive value for screen positive screening strategy using COE and autofluorescence, with biopsy/histopathology as the gold-standard. Timepoint: a. Development of Risk prediction model- End of year 1 2. Validation of the risk-prediction model- End of year 2

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
