Prevalence and Proportion of Eye Disease in Participants with Diabetes Screened with Telemedicine
| DISEASE | PREVALENCE (95% CI) N = 424 PERSONS | PROPORTION (95% CI) N = 820 EYES |
|---|---|---|
| Diabetic retinopathy | ||
| Total | 24.5% (20.4, 28.6%) | 17.4% (14.8, 20.0%) |
| Mild nonproliferative | 18.4% (14.7, 22.1%) | 13.9% (11.5, 16.3%) |
| Moderate nonproliferative | 4.0% (2.1, 5.9%) | 3.2% (2.0, 4.4%) |
| Severe nonproliferative | 0.0% | 0.0% |
| Proliferative | 2.1% (0.8, 3.5%) | 1.6% (0.7, 2.4%) |
| Macular edema | 0.7% (0, 1.5%) | 0.6% (0.1, 1.1%) |
| Glaucomatous features | 10.4% (7.5, 13.3%) | 6.8% (5.1, 8.6%) |
| Glaucoma | 2.8% (1.3, 4.4%) | 2.4% (1.4, 3.5%) |
| ARMD | 5.7% (3.5, 7.9%) | 3.8% (2.5, 5.1%) |
| Other eye diseasea | 2.4% (0.9, 3.8%) | 1.2% (0.5, 2.0%) |
The prevalence of eye disease was the proportion of participants with eye disease as defined in Table 1 in at least one eye. Proportion was calculated as number of the eyes with the particular disease divided by the total number of the eyes analyzed.
a
Others category included nevus, epiretinal membrane, chorioretinal lesion, branch retinal arterial occlusion, branch retinal vein occlusion, choroidal tear, and retinoschisis. All other diseases were found in two or less eyes.
