Mobile fundus photography undertaken by Aboriginal health workers has been suggested as a practical and effective method of screening for diabetic retinopathy among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.
A pilot study was undertaken to demonstrate that interpretable colour slides of the retina could be produced by Aboriginal health workers trained over a two-week period.
Of 47 subjects, 36 (76.6%) had interpretable retinal photographs.
These findings warrant further evaluation as to the benefits and cost effectiveness of mobile retinal photography.
有人提出,由原住民卫生工作者进行的移动眼底摄影是在原住民和托雷斯海峡岛民社区筛查糖尿病视网膜病变的一种实用且有效的方法。
开展了一项试点研究,以证明经过两周培训的原住民卫生工作者能够制作出可解读的视网膜彩色幻灯片。
47名受试者中,36名(76.6%)有可解读的视网膜照片。
这些发现值得进一步评估移动视网膜摄影的益处和成本效益。
