Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Diagnostic accuracy of novel and existing circulating biomarkers for sight threatening retinopathy; the sensitivity, specificity and receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curves will be reported. As it is a cross-sectional study, there is a one-off blood collection, analysis and reporting.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1. Diagnostic accuracy of novel and existing circulating biomarkers for any diabetic retinopathy 2. Diagnostic accuracy of novel and existing circulating biomarkers for identifying people at risk of microvascular and/or macrovascular complications of diabetes The sensitivity, specificity and receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curves will be reported. As it is a cross-sectional study, there is a one-off blood collection, analysis and reporting.
