Study of Effectiveness of Telemedicine in Identifying Diabetic Retinopathy Cases (DRTM)
Effectiveness of Tele-medicine in Identifying Diabetic Retinopathy Cases Attending Diabetologists' Clinics Compared to the Conventional Referral System
The aim of this study is to compare the effectiveness of identifying diabetic retinopathy using tele-medicine based Digital Retinal Imaging in Diabetes Clinics with that of the conventional referral system.
Hypothesis: Tele-medicine based digital retinal imaging involving a diabetes centre will identify proportionately more diabetic patients with DR and lead to higher acceptance rate with subsequent ophthalmic referral and management

Intervention / Traitement |
|---|---|
|
Expérimental: Tele-medicine
Tele-medicine aided retinal imaging and referral to eye hospital
|
Patients at the diabetes clinics will be subjected to non-mydriatic retinal imaging and the images will be transferred to the eye hospital via internet using a specified software - Aravind Diabetic Retinopathy Evaluation Software (ADRES) that enables a retinal specialist to read and grad the image and send the feedback immediately to the diabetes clinic.
Based on the presence or absence of DR the patients will be referred to the eye hospital for detailed retinal examination.
Autres noms:
|
|
Autre: Conventional Referral
Patients will be counselled on the importance of eye examination and will be referred to the eye hospital in the conventional manner.
|
All eligible patients in the conventional arm will be counselled on the importance of eye screening and will be referred to the eye hospital

Description de la mesure |
Délai |
|---|---|---|
|
Proportion of patients with confirmed Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) diagnosed at the eye hospital
Délai: 6 months
|
Out of the patients referred from the diabetes clinics to the eye hospital, the number of patients with confirmed DR will be measured.
This proportion will be compared between the two arms.
