The current study is aimed at estimating the diagnostic effectiveness of a developed convolutional neural network (CNN) "RetinAIcheck" in grading the severity of hypertensive retinopathy in patients of the Russian population. The training data set was obtained from an open source and relabeled by seven independent retina specialists, the sample size was 30,000 fundus photographs. The test sample included 729 patients (1401 eyes) with HR. The reference standard was the result of independent grading of HR stage by two ophthalmologists, controversial clinical cases were evaluated with the involvement of a third ophthalmologist.

A convolutional neural network is a medical decision support system that processes digital fundus photographs obtained during mydriasis and determines the probability of the presence/absence of hypertensive retinopathy and it's grading due to Keith Wagener Barker's classification.
