Factors associated with missed eye examinations in a cohort with diabetes.
The diabetes screening program in Moosonee and Moose Factory, Ontario was evaluated to explore which factors may be associated with individuals who had/had not attended screening examinations for diabetic retinopathy. ⋯ Screening programs for diabetic retinopathy in the James Bay Cree should consider targeting younger individuals with diabetes of less than 5 years duration since this sub-group is not as likely to attend eye examinations.
