Neither mydriasis nor three field photography improved the sensitivity or specificity for the detection of any retinopathy or of referable retinopathy when compared with undilated single field photography. sensitivity and specificity for detecting referable retinopathy using undilated single field photography was reliability for the detection of referable retinopathy in gradable photographs was excellent (Kappa values used in this study do not increase the sensitivity or specificity of detecting diabetic retinopathy. reported to be cost effective6 7 resulting in the recommendation of a national programme for the detection of diabetic referable diabetic retinopathy 13% (50/398) of the photographs were read by both graders. Scanlon recently reported sensitivity of 87.8% and specificity of 86.1% for referable diabetic retinopathy using ./cache/work_4mldd5vlafbfrjfl6msc4nptei.pdf ./txt/work_4mldd5vlafbfrjfl6msc4nptei.txt
