Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

This study uses deep learning methods to detect and predict glaucoma before symptoms appear. A dataset for glaucoma analysis was collected from open data sources provided by the Institute of Eye Diseases in Almaty, Kazakhstan. This study proposes an Efficient Convolutional-Dual-Resolution (ECDR) model that employs a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and a Transformer-based hybrid method to segment medical images of glaucoma. The global features obtained from the Swin Transformer module are combined with local representations obtained from a CNN-based encoder. The resulting data are compared with CNN classification methods, showing that the proposed ECDR model outperforms previous solutions. This study highlights the effectiveness of the proposed ECDR model in improving the detection and prediction of glaucoma, suggesting potential implications for early diagnosis and treatment strategies.
