⚡ TL;DR(Too Long; Didn't Read)

Conclusion: As it was determined that the mean gestational age and weight were lower in infants with ROP than the infants with no ROP development, so the importance of the low birth weight and the gestational age was confirmed as risk factors for ROP development.

📌 3 Key Takeaways

🎯
Objective & Hypothesis:Objectives: The objective of our study was to determine the incidence of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) in our hos-pital, which gives tertiary health services.
📊
Key Findings & Data:Methods: In this retrospective study, the medical files of the infants, who were born before the 36th gestational age and applied for the examination of ROP between 2014 and 2017 to Istanbul Kanuni Sultan Suleyman Training and Re-search Hospital, were investigated.

Özet

Objectives: The objective of our study was to determine the incidence of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) in our hos-pital, which gives tertiary health services. Methods: In this retrospective study, the medical files of the infants, who were born before the 36th gestational age and applied for the examination of ROP between 2014 and 2017 to Istanbul Kanuni Sultan Suleyman Training and Re-search Hospital, were investigated. The birth weight, gestational age, type of delivery, and the development of ROP were recorded. Results: The mean gestational age and mean birth weight of 2913 infants, who were screened for ROP, were 32.3±2.9 (22–36) weeks and 1846±580 g (360–4300), respectively. 48.7% of the patients were females and 51.3% were males. 32.4% of the patients had ROP at any stage. 8.8% of the infants had severe ROP and were treated accordingly. The mean gestational age and the mean gestational weight of the infants in this group were 28.0±2.6 weeks (22–35) and 1171.9±417.5 g (360–2500), respectively. The mean birth weight was lower in the severe ROP group compared to the group with no ROP development. 28 infants (0.9%) with birth weight over 2500 g (2502–3740) had only mild ROP and improved spontaneously. Conclusion: As it was determined that the mean gestational age and weight were lower in infants with ROP than the infants with no ROP development, so the importance of the low birth weight and the gestational age was confirmed as risk factors for ROP development.
