- The study focused on mobile screening for diabetic retinopathy (DR) using retinal photographs in rural and periurban regions, comparing results before and after the COVID-19 lockdown.
- Since 2004, over 10,000 patients were screened, revealing that about 13.9% had DR, with average profiles showing higher blood sugar levels and longer diabetes duration in affected individuals.
- No significant differences were found in screening results between rural and periurban areas or pre- and post-lockdown, highlighting the effectiveness of mobile telemedicine for early DR detection, especially in underserved rural populations.
