Evaluation of a remote diagnosis imaging model vs dilated eye examination in referable macular degeneration
JAMA Ophthalmology May 22, 2019
Hadziahmetovic M, et al. - Researchers examined if the identification of referable macular degeneration could be done using the remote diagnosis imaging model as a clinical screening tool. They conducted a nonrandomized study of 159 patients in facilities with high rates of diabetic retinopathy and age-related macular degeneration. Nonexpert imagers using a retinal imaging device located at the point of service performed remote diagnosis imaging, defined as color fundus photography and optical coherence tomography of nondilated pupils, on all patients. A traditional dilated eye examination performed by retinal specialists was defined as the criterion standard examination. As per findings, referable macular degeneration could be detected with a retinal imaging device, with efficacy equivalent to a standard examination.
