Socioeconomic Determinants and Outcomes in Proliferative Sickle Retinopathy

Host: Maria Berrocal Guest: Audina Berrocal, MD Does socioeconomic status influence outcomes in proliferative sickle retinopathy? In this episode of Clinical Minute: Retina, host Maria Berrocal, MD, speaks with Audina "Nina" Berrocal, MD, of Bascom Palmer Eye Institute, who published a retrospective review of more than 100 patients with proliferative sickle retinopathy. They explore whether the integrated care model at Bascom Palmer may account for results that don't translate to other parts of the country. The conversation also touches on newborn screening programs in Florida and the importance of sickle cell centers in high-incidence communities.
