Adherence to diabetic retinopathy screening among children and young adults in Bangladesh
Compliance with DRS was high in this setting especially among younger patients, females, and those with higher HbA1c levels, highlighting the effectiveness of current DRS initiatives in Bangladesh. Addressing barriers such as cost, service accessibility and transportation could improve attendance rates further, and strategies such as flexible scheduling, transport subsidies, telemedicine, and use of artificial intelligence may help overcome these challenges.
