“…The criteria used for grading and allocation of R and M levels are those required by the English NHS Diabetic Eye Screening Programme 8 and the relationship to the Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) severity scale 9, 10 are shown in Table 1. Referable diabetic retinopathy was defined in the English programmes by the presence of any of R2 (moderate to severe non‐proliferative diabetic retinopathy), R3 (proliferative diabetic retinopathy) or M1 (maculopathy) in at least one eye and the equivalent levels were identified in the Scottish screening programme.…”

AimsTo report on the relationships between age at diagnosis of diabetes, time from registration with the screening programme to first diabetic eye screening and severity of diabetic retinopathy.MethodsData were extracted from four English screening programmes and from the Scottish, Welsh and Northern Irish programmes. Time from diagnosis of diabetes to first screening and age at diagnosis were calculated.ResultsTime from registration with the screening programme to first screening episode is strongly related to age at registration. Within 18 months of registration 89% of 3958 young people under 18 years of age and 81% of 391 293 people over 35 years of age were seen. In 19 058 people between 18 and 34 years of age, 80% coverage was not reached until 2 years and 9 months. The time from diagnosis of diabetes to first screening is positively associated with severity of disease (P < 0.0001).ConclusionsThis report is the first that to demonstrate that those in the 18–34 year age group are least likely to attend promptly for screening after registration with a higher risk of referable diabetic retinopathy being present at the time of first screen. Date of diagnosis should be recorded and prodigious efforts made to screen all people promptly after diagnosis. Screening programmes should collect data on those who have not attended within one year of registration.

“…A digital fundus camera was used to take two 45°images (one macula-centred and one optic disc-centred) through dilated pupils in each eye. Grading was performed according to English national grading definitions 12 and quality assured to National Diabetic Eye Screening Programme (NDESP) guidelines.…”
