| Abstract: | Cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic (CKM) syndrome requires integrated risk assessment, but traditional evaluation depends on numerous clinical variables and specialized examinations, limiting scalability. We developed a retina-enhanced multimodal deep learning framework integrating fundus photographs with eight routine clinical variables, incorporating two novel modules without manual segmentation: a multiscale vessel-background decoupling module that separates vascular and background features, and a clinical-guided residual rectification module that extracts retina-specific information complementary to clinical variables. Evaluated on 3619 participants for advanced CKM (ACKM), chronic kidney disease (CKD), and cardiovascular disease (CVD), our full model significantly outperformed all traditional clinical models, achieving AUC improvements from the best-performing clinical models (0.758 for ACKM, 0.692 for CKD, and 0.581 for CVD) to 0.812, 0.791, and 0.743, respectively. Ablation studies confirmed independent contributions of both modules, and feature perturbation tests verified reliance on genuine retinal spatial structures. This noninvasive, scalable framework offers a simplified alternative to conventional CKM evaluation, with strong potential for deployment in primary care and resource-limited settings.
