Surveillance of people with previously successfully treated diabetic macular oedema and proliferative diabetic retinopathy by trained ophthalmic graders: Cost analysis from the EMERALD study
British Journal of Ophthalmology Jun 07, 2021
Maredza M, Mistry H, Lois N, et al. - Given that surveillance of people with previously successfully treated diabetic macular oedema (DMO) and proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) places additional strain on ophthalmology services, researchers sought to compare a new surveillance pathway involving multimodal imaging reviewed by trained ophthalmic graders to the current standard of care (face-to-face evaluation by an ophthalmologist). Effectiveness was evaluated in terms of sensitivity and specificity of referral decisions in the grader pathway. Surveillance of people with previously successfully treated DMO and PDR by trained ophthalmic graders can produce satisfactory results while saving ophthalmologists' time.
