To elucidate the rate of non-response among diabetics (recently diagnosed in rural diabetic screening camps) who were referred for eye examination to detect diabetic retinopathy.
At diabetic retinopathy screening camps, all patients underwent dilated fundus examination using binocular indirect ophthalmoscopy.
Of the 4,111 known diabetics, only 2231(55%) patients attended the diabetic retinopathy screening camps. Likewise, of the 1076 newly detected diabetics, only 125 (11.6%) attended the diabetic retinopathy screening camps.
Non-response of such a magnitude calls for creating greater awareness among masses on diabetes and its microvascular complications. Second, conducting simultaneous diabetes screening and diabetic retinopathy screening camps could minimize the dropout rate.
阐明在农村糖尿病筛查营地最近诊断出的糖尿病患者中,被转诊进行眼部检查以检测糖尿病视网膜病变的无应答率。
在糖尿病视网膜病变筛查营地,所有患者均使用双目间接检眼镜进行散瞳眼底检查。
在4111名已知糖尿病患者中,只有2231名(55%)患者参加了糖尿病视网膜病变筛查营地。同样,在1076名新检测出的糖尿病患者中,只有125名(11.6%)参加了糖尿病视网膜病变筛查营地。
如此高的无应答率要求提高大众对糖尿病及其微血管并发症的认识。其次,同时开展糖尿病筛查和糖尿病视网膜病变筛查营地可以将辍学率降至最低。
