Determination Of Regional Screening Criteria For Retinopathy Ofprematurity In The Eastern Black Sea Region Of Turkey, Mehmet Kola, Di̇lek Hacioğlu, Hi̇dayet Erdöl, Adem Türk, Yakup Aslan
Turkish Journal of Medical Sciences
Background/aim: To establish a regional screening protocol for retinopathy of prematurity (ROP). Materials and methods: Data were analyzed from the hospital records of 1241 infants with gestational age (GA) at birth ≤36 weeks and birth weight (BW) of ≤3600 g. Results: The mean GA of the infants was 32.05 ± 2.7 weeks and the mean BW was 1780.5 ± 576 g. ROP at any stage was detected in 703 of the 1241 infants (555 female). Eleven infants with type 1 ROP were treated with 810 nm diode laser photocoagulation. No treatment was needed in infants born after 33 weeks of …

Background/aim: To investigate the biometric components and refractive errors in premature infants with or without retinopathy of prematurity (ROP). Materials and methods: Anterior chamber depth, lens thickness, vitreous length, and axial length were measured with an ultrasound biometer. Cycloplegic refraction was performed by streak skiascopy. Infants with or without ROP were grouped according to postmenstrual age at the time of ocular examination: Group 1, ≤33 weeks; Group 2, 34-37 weeks; Group 3, 38-41 weeks; Group 4, 42-45 weeks; Group 5, ?46 weeks. Results: The mean postnatal age of 894 infants (451 females and 443 males) was 8.7 ± 4.5 weeks, …

Background/aim: To evaluate refractive and strabismic results and the efficacy of intravitreal bevacizumab in retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) ineligible for laser therapy. Materials and methods: Thirty-nine eyes of 20 consecutive infants with high-risk prethreshold ROP (11 infants with Zone I and 9 infants with Zone II disease) who were ineligible for laser therapy due to systemic and/or ocular conditions were treated with intravitreal bevacizumab. Recurrent retinopathy was treated with laser ablation. The final follow-up examination was performed at 29.8 ± 6.0 months of corrected age. Results: All eyes responded to the initial treatment with intravitreal bevacizumab. ROP recurred in 8 …

Background/aim: The goal of this study was to investigate the incidence of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) and the relationship between risk factors and disease in premature newborns in our neonatal intensive care unit. Materials and methods: A total of 219 premature subjects were retrospectively evaluated for retinopathy. Demographic information, clinical data, and risk factors were reviewed. Results: The gestational ages of the infants included in the study ranged between 25 and 36 weeks, and the birth weights ranged between 670 and 4460 g. In this study, the incidence of ROP was 20.1% (44) in preterm infants: 16 had stage 1 …

Background/aim: The aim of this study was to report the gestational age (GA) and birth weight (BW) distribution of premature babies who needed treatment for retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) and to assess the timing of the treatment. Materials and methods: The records of 9008 infants who were screened for ROP were examined and 556 infants who underwent laser therapy for ROP were reviewed. Sex, GA, BW, postnatal age, and postmenstrual (PM) age at the time of laser therapy were recorded. The babies were classified as in-born (Group 1) and out-born infants (Group 2). Results: The mean GA was 27.3 weeks …
