Abstract

Objective: To evaluate central corneal thickness (CCT), and the effects of gestational age, birth weight, mean oxygenation time and stages of premature retinopathy (ROP) on intraocular pressure (IOP) in premature newborns. Methods: The study included preterm infants who were admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit. Regression analysis were carried out to assess the association of IOP with gender, gestational age, birth weight, mean oxygenation time, stages of ROP and CCT. Results: Mean IOP was 17.2±2.1 mmHg and mean CCT was 572.5±16.4 µm in premature newborns. Intraocular pressure was not correlated with CCT in preterm infants. Sex, gestational age, birth weight, mean oxygenation time, stage of ROP were not related to IOP. Conclusion: Our results showed that the CCT does not affect IOP significantly in preterm infants. Further prospective studies are needed for determining the effect of CCT and other ocular and systemic factors on IOP.

Özet

Amaç: Prematüre yenidoğanlarda santral kornea kalınlığı (SKK) düzeyleri, doğum haftası, doğum ağırlığı, ortalama oksijen alım süresi ve prematüre retinopatisi (ROP) evresinin göz içi basıncı (GİB) üzerine etkisinin incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Yöntemler: Yenidoğan yoğun bakım ünitesinde takip edilen prematüre olgular çalışmaya alındı. Regresyon analizi yapılarak doğum haftası, doğum ağırlığı, ortalama oksijen alım süresi ve ROP evresi ve SKK’nın GİB üzerine etkisi incelendi. Bulgular: Ortalama GİB 17.2±2.1 mmHg ve ortalama SKK 572.5±16.4 µm olarak saptandı. Santral kornea kalınlığı ile GİB arasında korelasyon izlenmedi. Doğum haftası, doğum ağırlığı, ortalama oksijen alım süresi, ROP evresi ile GİB arasında ilişki görülmedi. Sonuç: Sonuçlarımız prematüre yenidoğanlarda SKK’nın GİB üzerine anlamlı bir etkisinin olmadığını göstermiştir. Göz içi basıncı üzerine SKK ve diğer oküler ve sistemik faktörlerin etkisini araştıran daha fazla sayıda prospektif çalışmaya gereksinim vardır.
