Sensitivity and Specificity of Handheld Fundus Cameras for Eye Disease: A Systematic Review and Pooled Analysis

In order to evaluate the accuracy of commercially available handheld fundus cameras for a variety of ophthalmic diagnoses, we conducted a systematic review, searching PubMed and PubMed Central and performing a bivariate analysis to determine the pooled sensitivity and specificity of handheld fundus cameras. Eleven studies validating handheld fundus cameras against a gold-standard method for disease diagnosis were included. For non-mydriatic images, pooled sensitivity was 83% (95% CI: 77-88%) and specificity was 92% (95% CI: 79-97%).
