Aims: To explore socio-demographic characteristics of non-attenders at diabetic retinal screening.
Methods: A retrospective, register-based cross-sectional analysis of 10,275 participants invited to diabetic retinal screening in Te Tai Tokerau (Northland) between May 2011 and June 2020 was performed. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was used to assess the association of age, sex, type of diabetes, ethnicity and socio-economic deprivation with non-attendance at diabetic retinal screening.
