1 patient had a referral noted for which there was no recorded outcome.

“Image unlikely” refers to patients who had minor physical issues which influenced the ability to get readable images and so were referred directly to the ophthalmologist.

“Other pathologies” refers to patients with pathology other than DR which required direct referral to the ophthalmologist.
