Quality of hydroxychloroquine retinopathy screening at a Canadian teaching hospital.

Purpose: To assess the quality of hydroxychloroquine (HCQ)-induced retinopathy screening at a Canadian tertiary center, we concentrate on risk factor documentation within the electronic health record, in accordance with the 2016 AAO guidelines.

Methods: We performed a retrospective quality assessment study based on chart review of patients who underwent screening for HCQ-induced retinopathy at the Centre Hospitalier de l'Université de Montréal (CHUM) from 2016 to 2019. We evaluated four key risk factors for HCQ-induced retinopathy: daily dose, duration of use, renal disease, and tamoxifen use, using a three-tier grading system (ideal, adequate, inadequate) for documentation assessment.
