Non-DR | 0.586 (0.560–0.612) | 0.683 (0.679–0.686) | <0.001 | 0.924 (0.897–0.950) | 0.948 (0.937–0.959) | 0.504 |

Moderate NPDR | 0.583 (0.554–0.613) | 0.680 (0.674–0.687) | 0.001 | 0.914 (0.893–0.936) | 0.922 (0.908–0.936) | 0.589 |
Severe NPDR | 0.827 (0.822–0.833) | 0.843 (0.842–0.844) | 0.004 | 0.873 (0.852–0.894) | 0.935 (0.924–0.945) | 0.004 |
PDR | 0.827 (0.823–0.831) | 0.843 (0.842–0.844) | <0.001 | 0.903 (0.882–0.924) | 0.922 (0.908–0.935) | 0.191 |
The sensitivity and specificity were tested using one-sided, two-sample Wilcoxon signed rank test.
