Comparison of B-Scan ultrasonography, ultra-widefield fundus imaging, and indirect ophthalmoscopy in detecting retinal breaks in cataractous eyes.

ABSTRACT:

Background/objectives

To evaluate the diagnostic performance of B-scan kinetic ultrasonography (USG), standard ultra-widefield (UWF) imaging, and indirect ophthalmoscopy (IDO) in retinal break detection in cataractous eyes.

Subjects/methods

We consecutively enrolled 126 cataract patients (including 246 eyes) with no comorbidities that could decrease best corrected visual acuity (BCVA). Three index tests (USG, nonmydriatic UWF, and mydriatic IDO) were performed preoperatively to screen for retinal breaks. One week after cataract extraction, a dilated IDO examination was repeated for the definitive diagnosis of retinal break as the reference standard. The sensitivity, specificity, Youden index (YI), and predictive values of each index test were calculated according to postoper
