Abstract

IMPORTANCE: Until now, other than complex neurologic tests, there have been no readily accessible and reliable indicators of neurologic dysfunction among patients with Parkinson disease (PD). This study was conducted to determine the role of fundus photography as a noninvasive and readily available tool for assessing neurologic dysfunction among patients with PD using deep learning methods.
