Zusammenfassung
Background: Nonmydriatic retinal imaging is widely used in large epidemiological studies because static retinal vessel analysis (SVA) is a promising concept for interdisciplinary research on ocular and cardiovascular diseases. Accuracy is important to correctly measure vessel diameters and to determine arterio-venous ratio (AVR). SVA emerges into non-reading center environments and health services without scientific background, in which inexperienced or inadequately instructed raters might bias results of SVA. Our study aims to assess the impact of inexperienced raters on SVA. Methods: One experienced profession…
