The use of artificial intelligence to assess diabetic eye disease among the Greenlandic population.

Retina fundus images conducted in Greenland are telemedically assessed for diabetic retinopathy by ophthalmological nurses in Denmark. Applying an AI grading solution, in a Greenlandic setting, could potentially improve the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of DR screening. We developed an AI model using retina fundus photos, performed on persons registered with diabetes in Greenland and Denmark, using Optos® ultra wide-field scanning laser ophthalmoscope, graded according to ICDR.

The Role of Obstructive Sleep Apnea in Vision-Threatening Diabetic Retinopathy-A National Register-Based Study.

Introduction: we investigated the association between OSA and vision-threatening diabetic retinopathy (VTDR).

Methods: we used three nationwide registers to identify subjects with and without OSA and patients with type 1 (T1DM) or type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The Danish Civil Registration System was used to link OSA with diabetes diagnosis.

Full-field and multifocal electroretinogram in non-diabetic controls and diabetics with and without retinopathy.

Objective: To compare retinal function assessed by full-field electroretinography (ffERG) and multifocal electroretinography (mfERG) in diabetes without retinopathy, diabetes with moderate non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR) and in the absence of diabetes.

Methods: Scotopic and photopic ffERG and mfERG was made in non-fasting volunteers, including 26 diabetic participants without retinopathy, 22 diabetic participants with moderate NPDR and 22 participants without diabetes using full International Society for Clinical Electrophysiology of Vision protocols.

Results: Of the ffERG responses, significant deviation (p ≤ 0.

Diabetic papillopathy in patients with optic disc drusen: Description of two different phenotypes.

Purpose: To describe two cases of severe acute bilateral optic disc edema that occurred in patients with diabetes mellitus shortly after the initiation of intensified antihyperglycemic therapy.

Methods: Retrospective observational case report.

Case Description: Two patients with type 1 diabetes presented for routine retinopathy screening with asymptomatic optic disc edema.

Prevalence and severity of diabetic retinopathy in pregnant women with diabetes-time to individualize photo screening frequency.

Aims: To evaluate the prevalence and severity of diabetic retinopathy including macular oedema in pregnant women with diabetes and to identify women in whom the frequency of retinal screening can be reduced to minimize the burden of health care visits.

Methods: A cohort study of 348 women with pre-existing diabetes were routinely screened with retinal photo in early (12 weeks) and late pregnancy (27 weeks). Diabetic retinopathy was classified in five stages in accordance with National Danish Guidelines based on the eye with the highest retinopathy level.
