Black people with diabetes had similar levels of attendance compared with White British people. However, South Asian, Chinese and 'Any other Asian' background ethnicities showed greater odds of attendance compared with White British. When compared with their respective reference group, high levels of deprivation, younger age, longer duration of diabetes and worse visual acuity, were all associated with non-attendance. There was a higher likelihood of attendance per quintile improvement in deprivation (OR, 1.06; 95%\u2009CI, 1.03 to 1.08), with increasing age (OR per decade, 1.17; 95%\u2009CI, 1.15 to 1.19), with better visual acuity (OR per Bailey-Lovie chart line 1.12; 95% CI, 1.11 to 1.14) and with longer time of NELDESP registration (OR per\u2009year, 1.02; 95%\u2009CI, 1.01 to 1.03).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Ethnic differences in diabetic eye screening uptake, though small, are evident. Despite preconceptions, a higher likelihood of screening attendance was observed among Asian ethnic groups when compared with the White ethnic group. Poorer socioeconomic profile was associated with higher likelihood of non-attendance for screening. Further work is needed to understand how to target individuals at risk of non-attendance and reduce inequalities.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1136\/bmjopen-2020-046264","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,9,17]],"date-time":"2021-09-17T12:14:47Z","timestamp":1631880887000},"page":"e046264","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1136\/crossmarkpolicy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":20,"title":["Effect of ethnicity and other sociodemographic factors on attendance at diabetic eye screening: a 12-month retrospective cohort study"],"prefix":"10.1136","volume":"11","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3305-4465","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Abraham","family":"Olvera-Barrios","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Medical Retina, Moorfields Eye Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, London, UK"},{"name":"University College London Institute of Ophthalmology, London, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Michael","family":"Seltene","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Medical Retina, Moorfields Eye Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, London, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5297-2301","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Tjebo F C","family":"Heeren","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Medical Retina, Moorfields Eye Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, London, UK"},{"name":"University College London Institute of Ophthalmology, London, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5322-4209","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ryan","family":"Chambers","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Homerton University Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, London, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8710-8916","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Louis","family":"Bolter","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Homerton University Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, London, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6131-7640","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Adnan","family":"Tufail","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Medical Retina, Moorfields Eye Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, London, UK"},{"name":"University College London Institute of Ophthalmology, London, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1135-5977","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Christopher G","family":"Owen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Population Health Research Institute, St George's, University London, London, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0369-8574","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Alicja R","family":"Rudnicka","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Population Health Research Institute, St George's, University London, London, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4439-3489","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Catherine","family":"Egan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Medical Retina, Moorfields Eye Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, London, UK"},{"name":"University College London Institute of Ophthalmology, London, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2355-9742","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"John","family":"Anderson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Homerton University Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, London, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"239","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,9,17]]},"reference":[{"key":"2025121219592232000_11.9.e046264.1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/bmjopen-2013-004015"},{"key":"2025121219592232000_11.9.e046264.2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2337\/dc16-2641"},{"key":"2025121219592232000_11.9.e046264.3","unstructured":"Diabetes UK .
