Retinopathy Screening

Background: Diabetic retinopathy (DR) causes blindness of the population in many countries worldwide. Early detection and treatment of this disease via a DR screening program is the best way to secure the vision. An annual screening program using pharmacological pupil dilatation becomes the standard method. Recently, non-mydriatic ultrawide-field fundus photography (UWF) has been proposed as a choice for DR screening. However, there was no cost-effectiveness study between the standard DR screening and this UWF approach. Objective: To compare the cost-effectiveness between UWF and pharmacological pupil dilatation in terms of hospital and societal perspectives. Materials and Methods: Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus that visited the ophthalmology clinic at Chulabhorn Hospital for DR screening were randomized using simple randomization method. The patients were interviewed by a trained interviewer for general and economic information. The clinical characteristics of DR and staging were recorded. Direct medical costs, direct non-medical costs, and informal care costs due to DR screening were recorded. Cost analyses were calculated for the hospital and societal perspectives. Results: The present study presented the cost-effectiveness analyses of UWF versus pharmacological pupil dilatation. Cost-effectiveness analysis from the hospital perspective showed the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) of UWF to be –13.87. UWF was a cost-effective mean in DR screening in the societal perspective when compared with pharmacologically pupil dilatation with the ICER of 76.46, under the threshold of willingness to pay. Conclusion: The UWF was a cost-effective mean in DR screening. It can reduce screening duration and bypass post-screening blurred vision. The results suggested that UWF could be a viable option for DR screening.

Retinopathy Screening

Background: The prevalence of diabetic retinopathy (DR) is expected to increase. This will put an increasing strain on health care resources. Recently, artificial intelligence-based, autonomous DR screening systems have been developed. A direct comparison between different systems is often difficult and only two such comparisons have been published so far. As different screening solutions are now available commercially, with more in the pipeline, choosing a system is not a simple matter. Based on the images gathered in a local DR screening program we performed a retrospective comparison of IDx-DR and Retinalyze. Methods: We chose a non-representative sample of all referable DR positive screening subjects (n = 60) and a random selection of DR negative patient images (n = 110). Only subjects with four good quality, 45-degree field of view images, a macula-centered and disc-centered image from both eyes were chosen for comparison. The images were captured by a Topcon NW-400 fundus camera, without mydriasis. The images were previously graded by a single ophthalmologist. For the purpose of this comparison, we assumed two screening strategies for Retinalyze—where either one or two out of the four images needed to be marked positive by the system for an overall positive result at the patient level. Results: Percentage agreement with a single reader in DR positive and DR negative cases respectively was: 93.3%, 95.5% for IDx-DR; 89.7% and 71.8% for Retinalyze strategy 1; 74.1% and 93.6% for Retinalyze under strategy 2. Conclusions: Both systems were able to analyse the vast majority of images. Both systems were easy to set up and use. There were several limitations to the current pilot study, concerning sample choice and the reference grading that need to be addressed before attempting a more robust future study.
