Analysis of images and parental counseling were done in real time by an ROP specialist located at a tertiary center using videoconferencing software. A subset of babies was also examined using bedside indirect ophthalmoscopy by an ROP care-trained ophthalmologist. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values, and correlation coefficient.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Over 9 months, we examined 576 babies (1152 eyes) in six rural districts of India. The parents accepted the model as they recognized that a remotely located specialist was evaluating all images in real time. The strategy saved the travel time for ROP specialists by 477 h (47.7 working days) and for parents (47,406 h or 1975.25 days), along with the associated travel cost. In a subgroup analysis (100 babies, 200 eyes), the technology had a high sensitivity (97.2%) and negative predictivity value (92.7%). It showed substantial agreement (k = 0.708) with the bedside indirect ophthalmoscopy by ROP specialists with respect to the detection of treatment warranting ROP. Also, the strategy helped train the participants.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Real-time ROP telescreening using videoconferencing is sensitive enough to detect treatment warranting ROPs and saves skilled workforce and time. The real-time audiovisual connection allows optimal supervision of imaging, provides excellent training opportunities, and connects ophthalmologists directly with the parents.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.4103\/ijo.ijo_2024_23","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,2,23]],"date-time":"2024-02-23T02:00:08Z","timestamp":1708653608000},"page":"697-703","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Outcome of real-time telescreening for retinopathy of prematurity using videoconferencing in a community setting in Eastern India"],"prefix":"10.4103","volume":"72","author":[{"given":"Tapas R","family":"Padhi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Vitreoretinal Services, Anant Bajaj Retina Institute, Mithu Tulsi Chanrai Campus, LV Prasad Eye Institute, Bhubaneswar, Odisha, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Souvik","family":"Bhunia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Vitreoretinal Services, Anant Bajaj Retina Institute, Mithu Tulsi Chanrai Campus, LV Prasad Eye Institute, Bhubaneswar, Odisha, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Taraprasad","family":"Das","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Vitreoretinal Services, Anant Bajaj Retina Institute, Hyderabad, Telangana, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sameer","family":"Nayak","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Vitreoretinal Services, Anant Bajaj Retina Institute, Mithu Tulsi Chanrai Campus, LV Prasad Eye Institute, Bhubaneswar, Odisha, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Manav","family":"Jalan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Vitreoretinal Services, Anant Bajaj Retina Institute, Mithu Tulsi Chanrai Campus, LV Prasad Eye Institute, Bhubaneswar, Odisha, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Suryasnata","family":"Rath","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Vitreoretinal Services, Anant Bajaj Retina Institute, Mithu Tulsi Chanrai Campus, LV Prasad Eye Institute, Bhubaneswar, Odisha, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Biswajeet","family":"Barik","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Vitreoretinal Services, Anant Bajaj Retina Institute, Mithu Tulsi Chanrai Campus, LV Prasad Eye Institute, Bhubaneswar, Odisha, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hasnat","family":"Ali","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biostatistics, Kallam Anji Reddy Campus, LV Prasad Eye Institute, Hyderabad, Telangana, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Padmaja Kumari","family":"Rani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Vitreoretinal Services, Anant Bajaj Retina Institute, Hyderabad, Telangana, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dipanwita","family":"Routray","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Community Medicine, District Medical College Hospital, Keonjhar, Odisha, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Subhadra","family":"Jalali","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Vitreoretinal Services, Anant Bajaj Retina Institute, Hyderabad, Telangana, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,2,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"R1-20260504","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"719","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ajo.2010.10.007","article-title":"Outcomes of a protocol-based management for zone I retinopathy of prematurity.
