Abstract

Background: Screening for retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) is limited by the shortage of trained examiners. Objective: We assessed the diagnostic accuracy of telemedicine and artificial intelligence (AI) for ROP screening in LMICs and summarised economic evaluations of screening. Methods: PubMed, Europe PMC, OpenAlex and Scopus were searched for accuracy studies from LMICs comparing remote grading of retinal images (telemedicine) or AI with ophthalmoscopy or expert grading, and for economic evaluations. Sensitivity and specificity were pooled with bivariate random-effects models; risk of bias was assessed with QUADAS-2 and certainty with GRADE. Results: Twenty-four accuracy studies from nine countries and 13 economic evaluations were included. For clinically significant ROP, telemedicine (6 datasets; 927 units) had a sensitivity of 92.8% (95% CI 82.6–97.3) and a specificity of 95.8 (87.6–98.7)%; AI (6 datasets; 7,346 units) had a sensitivity of 93.0 (81.5–97.6)% and a specificity of 77.3 (55.6–90.3)%. Specificity was higher in upper-middle-income settings. For any-stage ROP and plus disease, pooled sensitivities were 92.2% and 81.4%, and specificities 97.6% and 99.1%. Fifteen studies were at high risk of bias, and certainty was low to very low. Telemedicine was cost-effective in all five cost-utility analyses; no economic evaluation of AI from LMICs was found. Conclusion: Telemedicine detected clinically significant ROP with high sensitivity and specificity and was cost-effective in LMICs, although the certainty of evidence was low. AI achieved similar sensitivity with more false-positive referrals; its use as a triage step within telemedicine programmes requires prospective evaluation.

Abstract

Background: Hypertension is the leading diagnosis at many Indonesian primary health centers (Puskesmas), yet community diagnoses that guide local action rarely standardize site selection or state what their evaluations can establish. Objective: To report a community diagnosis of hypertension in the Puskesmas Teluknaga catchment (Tangerang Regency, Banten) and the knowledge outcome of the education session that followed. Methods: Routine Puskesmas records were combined with village population estimates to compute standardized visit ratios. A mini-survey of 30 Puskesmas visitors identified determinants, which were prioritized by non-scoring Delphi and traced by fishbone analysis. Thirty-two adult residents received one lecture with a leaflet and then a knowledge post-test. Pre-test scores were unavailable, so all paired pre/post tables consistent with the post-test were enumerated (exact McNemar tests). Results: Desa Teluknaga contributed 124 of 491 hypertension visits (25.3%) from 14.6% of the catchment population (rate ratio versus the other six villages 1.98; 95% CI 1.60 to 2.44; p<0.001). Low community knowledge was designated the root cause. Afterwards, 26 of 32 participants scored ≥90 (81.3%; 95% CI 64.7 to 91.1). Improvement was significant under every admissible pairing only if 15 or fewer participants had scored ≥90 beforehand, and under none if 21 or more had, so knowledge change could not be identified. Conclusion: Population standardization supported the choice of intervention village. Knowledge after the session was high, but demonstrating an educational effect, and converting knowledge into blood-pressure control, requires retained paired scores, follow-up and repeated interventions supported by community health volunteers (kader).
