Follow-up Adherence After Teleretinal Screening for Diabetic Retinopathy
Age, race, gender, glycemic control, and insulin use were not found to be predictive of follow-up compliance rates; the most severe disease (PDR + DME) predicted noncompliance. Diabetic retinopathy screening programs may consider more aggressive measures in emphasizing compliance in patients with the worst disease as these patients are more likely to miss follow-up appointments. More studies are needed to characterize risk factors for noncompliance.
