Development of the DL model
Inception-Resnet-v2 network [Demonstration of construction of deep learning models. The preoperative b-scan OCT images and clinical data are fed into the model. "CNN" was used to mark the component where the convolutional neural network processes the OCT images, and "MLP" to indicate where the multilayer perceptron handles the structured patient data (including age, pre-operative visual acuity, gender, duration of symptoms, etc.). It eventually outputs the prediction of 6-month postoperative BCVA. BCVA, best-corrected visual acuity; CNN: convolutional neural networks, MLP: multilayer perceptron; MDFN, multimodal deep fusion network
