However, all prior telemedicine studies have sures of potential conflicts of interest as were included in the used ophthalmoscopy as the gold-standard comparison, which submitted and accepted manuscript. However, these disclo- we propose is inferior to a composite reference standard sures were not complete, and disclosures of other authors were 3,6 methodology. Thus we encourage the use of similar RSD in not included. The journal uses the International Committee studies evaluating diagnostic modalities in retinopathy of pre- of Medical Journal Editors Form for Disclosure of Potential Con- maturity, and we look forward to further discourse to yield even flicts of Interest. In some cases, the form indicated disclo- better RSDs in future. sures that were not included in the submitted manuscript and published article; in other cases, the forms were not com- Travis K.
