研究目的
To evaluate the availability of ultra-wide-field fundus photography compared to fundus examination after pupil dilatation in Korean patients with retinal break.
研究成果
Ultra-wide-field fundus photography can detect retinal break with a sensitivity of 72% and a specificity of 94%. However, there is a significant limitation in detecting anterior retinal lesions, especially in the inferior quadrant. Therefore, ultra-wide-field fundus photography should be used as an adjunct to fundus examination with pupil dilatation rather than as a standalone diagnostic method.
研究不足
The study was conducted at a single institution with a limited number of patients. The resolution of ultra-wide-field imaging may not be sufficient to clearly identify small peripheral lesions. The study did not evaluate the impact of eyelid characteristics on the sensitivity and specificity of ultra-wide-field imaging.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
Retrospective case review of consecutive 160 patients with 230 lesions with retinal breaks. Ultra-wide-field images were taken after fundus examination with pupil dilatation performed by a retinal specialist.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Patients with retinal breaks confirmed by fundus examination with pupil dilatation.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Optomap? Panoramic 200C (Optos PLC, Dunfermline, Fife, Scotland, UK) ultra-wide-field scanning laser ophthalmoscope.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Ultra-wide-field images were analyzed according to patient characteristics and separated area. Lesions were divided into anterior and posterior areas, and each area was separated into 4 quadrants (superior, inferior, temporal, and nasal).
5:Data Analysis Methods:
Sensitivity and specificity of ultra-wide-field imaging for detecting retinal break were calculated with 95% confidence intervals. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS 20.0 for Windows.
