Since the first decentralized clinical trial (DCT) was conducted in 2011, there has been an increased usage of DCT due to its benefits of patient-centricity and generalizability of findings. This trend was further expedited by the global COVID-19 pandemic. We identified 23 case studies across various therapeutic areas and grouped them into different categories according to their purposes-by necessity, for operational benefits, to address unique research questions, to validate innovative digital endpoints, or to validate decentralization as a clinical research platform.

To develop a DeepSurv model for predicting survival in pancreatic adenocarcinoma patients, evaluating the benefit of surgical versus non-surgical treatment across different stages, including stage IV subcategories. Clinical data were extracted from the SEER database (2000-2020). Patients were randomly divided into a model-building group and an experimental group.

In this paper, we propose a general latent HIV infection model with general incidence and three distributed delays. We start with the analysis of the proposed model by establishing the positivity and boundedness of solutions and calculating basic reproduction number R0. Then, we show that the infection-free equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable when R0<1 (is globally attractive when R0=1), while the disease is uniformly persistent when R0>1.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to estimate the correlations between macular optical coherence tomography (OCT)-derived metrics and incident glaucoma risk in myopic eyes.
Methods: This longitudinal observational study included 24,181 individuals with myopia (spherical equivalence [SE] ≤ -0.5 diopters [D]) from the UK Biobank study.

Purpose: Evidence on the association between visceral obesity and diabetic retinopathy (DR) remains sparse and debatable. We aimed to use three novel indicators, body roundness index (BRI), lipid accumulation product (LAP), and visceral adiposity index (VAI), to investigate the longitudinal relationship between visceral obesity and DR, and explore the potential metabolic mechanisms.
Methods: In this prospective study based on the UK Biobank (UKB), 14,738 individuals with diabetes free of DR at baseline were included.
