ABSTRACT

@#AIM:To observe the clinical value of digital nonmydriatic funds photography in screening diabetic retinopathy and early intervention of hospitalized diabetic patients. <p>METHODS: Totally 130 diabetic patients hospitalized in Department of Endocrinology of our hospital were selected from January 2015 to December 2016. All patients were underwent non-mydriatic digital fundus photography and fundus fluorescein angiography(FFA). <p>RESULTS: There were 82 eyes diagnosed as non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy(NPDR)and 28 eyes as proliferative diabetic retinopathy(PDR)by non-mydriatic digital fundus photography. There were 89 eyes diagnosed as NPDR and 29 eyes as PDR by FFA. Compared with the result of the gold standard, the Kappa value of non-mydriatic digital fundus photography was 0.87(>0.61), and the test was consistency. There was no significant difference between the two methods in the detection of diabetic retinopathy in different stages(<i>P</i>>0.05). The positive rate of diabetic retinopathy was significantly higher in patients with diabetes mellitus over 10a(<i>P</i><0.05). <p>CONCLUSION: Digital fundus photography is an effective method for early detection of DR in hospitalized diabetic patients. It is of great significance to reduce the blindness rate of diabetic retinopathy.
