Diabetic retinopathy prevalence in Mexico: Results from a primary public health access initiative for screening in patients with type 2 diabetes
Objective: To estimate diabetic retinopathy (DR) prevalence in primary care scenarios in Mexico. Materials and methods: We evaluated adult patients with type 2 diabetes with conventional care in primary care units. A mydriatic fundus examination was performed by an ophthalmologist with retinal photo...

| description | Objective: To estimate diabetic retinopathy (DR) prevalence in primary care scenarios in Mexico. Materials and methods: We evaluated adult patients with type 2 diabetes with conventional care in primary care units. A mydriatic fundus examination was performed by an ophthalmologist with retinal photographs. Results: Implementing a strategy for screening diabetic retinopathy in primary care settings in patients with type 2 diabetes in Mexico reported a prevalence of 33.6 %, comprising non-sight-threatening retinopathy at 24.2 %, and sight-threatening retinopathy at 9.4 %. The number needed to screen to detect DR obtained in the screened population was 3. Conclusions: Our study reveals the need for DR screening strategies for its timely detection in primary care scenarios. |
