DODIA 1 Screening for diabetic retinopathy: the first telemedical approach in a primary care setting in France (DODIA study). EPGRN, Nijmegen, May 11th, 2007 J.P. Aubert, P Massin, S. Bouée, G.

BACKGROUND • main cause for blindness in the working population • easily preventable :screening+laser • In France, screening for DR is recommended once a year for all diabetic people
BACKGROUND • 2.000.000 diabetics inFrance, • increasing 5% every year • 30 to 40% of french diabetics are expected to have a DR • 41,5 % of diabetics had been examined by an ophtalmologist within the last year • 5000 ophtalmologists in France in 2005, 2500 will remain in 2015 • DR screening has to be optimized
SCREENING METHODS • Conventionnal screening: eye fundus examination after pupillary dilatation • Colour fundus photography obtained without pharmacological dilatation of the pupil • storage and electronic transmission of photographs is easy
Eye fundus photography • 3 photographs: papilla, macula, and temporal area. • Sensitivity 85%, specificity 95%
Study design • Observationnal study with control group • experimental group: GPs from the Réseau de Santé Paris-Nord (North Paris Health network). • control group : GPs from ARES-92 (another health network of the Paris suburb) • All investigators were volunteer • control group • close geographic location to the experimental group, • similar density of private ophthalmologists in the area, • similar social and demographic characteristics of the living population.
Management of the experimental group • non-mydriatic camera was set up in a community screening center, • Patients referred by GPs to the screening center for photography of eye fundus • Electronic transmission to Hospital Lariboisiere, Paris • Postponed interpretation of photographs by ophtamologists (15 to 20 patients an hour) • Results sent by snailmail to GP and patient
Management of the control group • Usual procedure: • Patients referred to their ophtalmologist • Usual eye fond examination performed
Primary endpoint • To assess the rate of actual DR screening among diabetic patients (type 1 and 2) from the two investigators groups
Secondary endpoints • Improvement of the GP’s knowledge of retinian condition of their patients • satisfaction and compliance of patients regarding the photographic screening method • rate of patients that accept the photographic screening method • NB: no assessment of the efficiency of screening
What do we call « screening »? • A screening for DR is an examination of eye fundus perfomed within six months after prescription by the GP, testified by the presence of a written report in the patient’s file.
Inclusion/exclusion criteria • All type 1 and 2 diabetic patients attending one of the investigators during the inclusion period (7 months 1.4.2002-1.11.2002) • Were excluded: • Patients with known DR • Patients who had had screening for DR within last year • Patients from the experimental group who asked to consult their usual ophtalmologist • People who refused the study
Patients • Experimental group: 667 screened patients, 519 (78%) met inclusion criteria, of which 456 (87,9%) accepted the study • Control group: 707 screened patients, 469( 67%) met inclusion criteria, of which 426 (90,8%) accepted the study
Baseline characteristics of patients • No stastistical difference regarding • Gender: 2/3 male • Mean age: 60 • Haemoglobin A1c (when available): 7,7% • Mean blood pressure • Treatment for diabetes (77,2% oral treatment alone) • History of eye fundus examination (more than one year): 85% • diabetes discovered more recently in the experimental group (6.4 ± 6.6 years vs 8.1 ± 8.0, p = 0.0011) • apatients more frequently treated with diet alone in the experimental group (12.6% vs 7,9%, P = 0.002).
Conclusion • digital retinal images taken in a screening center and transferred electronically to an ophthalmologic • detects and grades DR in primary care patients, • filters eye-threatening cases requiring complete eye analysis by an ophthalmologist. • The screening procedure is effective, increasing GPs’awareness about their patient’ eye status. • Most patients who received non dilated eye fundus photographs are satisfied • need to extend this screening program to a larger number of different French sites.
2006: toujours plus loin • Fort de l’étude DODIA, le Réseau de santé Paris Nord a poursuivi son travail: • Les OPH achètent massivement des rétinographes, dont le prix a baissé considérablement • L’examen au rétinographe est devenu le gold standard de la rétinopathie diabétique • Le réseau a fabriqué la première banque de données photographiques européenne de dépistage de la rétinopathie diabétique • Le réseau a mis au point un outil de formation des OPH, mis en ligne et qui va être annexé aux recommandations françaises de dépistage de la RD
