Ultra-Widefield and Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study 7-Field Grading of Diabetic Retinopathy.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

High concordance in diabetic retinopathy (DR) outcomes between 7-field (7F) and ultra-widefield (UWF) images would allow for combining longitudinal assessments based on the 2 modalities both in clinical studies and clinical care.

Objective

To compare 7F and UWF imaging with regard to DR severity and the associations of DR severity with risk factors, such as hemoglobin A1c, age, diabetes duration, and sex.
