Abstract
Objeetive To evaluate the ability ofmydriatic single-field 50°digital fundus photography and mydriatic 7-standard field fundus photography to detect diabetic retinopathy (DR)in patients with diabetic mellitus (DM)compared with fluorescein fundus angiography (FFA).Methods A Total of 164 diabetic patients attending a hospital-based screening clinic were recruited.Mydriatie single-field 50°digital fundus photography,mydriatic 7-standard field ETDRS fundus photography and FFA were performed using a Zeiss ff450 plus IR fundus camera.Grading of diabetic retinopathy was carried out by two ophthalmologists with diabetic retinopathy international clinical classification.The results were evaluated and compared respectively.ResuitsMydriatic single-field 50°digital fundus photography and FFA demonstrated moderate agreement (k=0.488).Mydriatic 7-standard field fundns photography and FFA demonstrated near perfect agreement (k=0.873).Conclusion Mydriatic 7-standard field fundus photography is an effective and clinically viable technique to screen for diabetic retinopathy among a diabetic population,Mydriatic single-field 50°digital fundus photography moderate.
