Aims: To ascertain in real practice the diagnosis rate of diabetic retinopathy (DR) in patients considered to have positive screening test by general practitioners (GPs) and what are the reasons for the false positive diagnosis.
Methods: Four GPs previously instructed in the interpretation of retinal photographs evaluated the digital retinography images of patients with diabetes obtained during a 2-year period. When the images were considered normal, a new appointment was scheduled for 1 year later and a report was emailed to the referring physician.
