Direct ophthalmoscopy missed retinopathy in one of these cases and found fewer retinal hemorrhages (mean difference = 3.09; 95% confidence interval = 1.50\u20134.68; <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0.0001). Severity of retinopathy increased with severity of disease (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> for trend &lt; 0.0001), and renal failure, acidosis, and moderate\/severe retinopathy were independent predictors of mortality by both ophthalmoscopic techniques. Direct ophthalmoscopy by non-ophthalmologists is an important clinical tool to aid diagnosis and prognosis in adults with severe malaria, and indirect ophthalmoscopy by non-ophthalmologists, although more sensitive, provides minimal additional prognostic information.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4269\/ajtmh.2011.10-0205","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2011,1,6]],"date-time":"2011-01-06T16:27:08Z","timestamp":1294331228000},"page":"141-147","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":37,"title":["Malarial Retinopathy in Bangladeshi Adults"],"prefix":"10.4269","volume":"84","author":[{"given":"Abdullah Abu","family":"Sayeed","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Richard J.","family":"Maude","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mahtab Uddin","family":"Hasan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Noor","family":"Mohammed","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"M.
