![]() ![]() Published clinical guidelines lack evidence to recommend its use. Routine dilated examination is an expensive test per prevented case. Peter Finch / Getty Images How Pupils Change Size A pupil is the round black circle in the center of the iris. These results suggest that most peripheral retinal diseases cannot be prevented by RDE. If prevention had been 10% effective, the substitution of 50 000 RDEs for undilated examinations costing the provider $433 000 would have been required per prevented case. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of H57.04 - other international versions of ICD-10 H57.04 may differ. The 2023 edition of ICD-10-CM H57.04 became effective on October 1, 2022. In the United States, there are 560 ICD-10 codes that may be associated. H57.04 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. Among patients without risk factors, 38 were identified for whom undilated examination rather than RDE had been performed. Real time pupillography adjusts for pupil size in real time can be used in. The additional cost of a single RDE was determined from estimated examination times and payroll costs. The number of patients who underwent undilated examination was estimated by random medical record review. The most obvious symptom of blown pupils is having one or both pupils that appear abnormally dilated (large) and do not react to light. The cost of RDE was determined from the number of undilated examinations in the same population and period and the cost of a single RDE. The number of preventable cases was calculated for multiples of a 10% probability of prevention. Those whose last examination had been undilated were identified because only for them could routine dilated examination (RDE) have been substituted for undilated examination. Patients with these diseases who had no risk factors were ascertained in a population of 1.75 million adults for a period of 6 months. Decreased corneal sensitivity in neurofibromatosis type 2 indicates 5 th nerve involvement with the 3 rd nerve palsy. The cost of routine dilated fundus examination was related to the number of preventable cases of vision-threatening peripheral retinal disease. An acquired, slowly progressive third nerve palsy with a meningioma or schwannoma may be associated with aberrant regeneration also. We evaluated the cost-effectiveness of routine dilated fundus examination in improving visual outcomes. ![]()
