Abstract

Purpose: To investigate the frequency and the properties of the patients treated for retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) in our hospital in 2014.Materials and Methods: This study was conducted retrospectively. Infants treated with laser photocoagulation and/or intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) for ROP, in 2014 between January 1 and December 31, were included. Infants born in our hospital were collected in Group 1 (n=49), while those sent from other hospitals in Group 2 (n=17). Mann-Whitney U test was used to compare the groups.Results: A total of 132 eyes of 66 infants were treated for retinopathy of prematurity. It was applied laser photocoagulation after anti-VEGF injections to 8 eyes (6.0%) of 4 infants; only laser photocoagulation to 124 eyes (94.0%) of 62 infants. In 2014, the treatment rate in infants from ROP screening was 5%. Mean gestational age of infants was 26.3±2.3, birth weight was 883±300 g. Mean gestational age (p=0.07) and birth weight (p=0.01) of Group 1 was significantly lower than in Group 2. Mean postmenstrual week at first occurrence of ROP was calculated only for Group 1 and found 33.0±1.7. Between groups 1 and 2, mean postmenstrual week of laser photocoagulation (p=0.149) and the mean laser shots (p=0.935) were not statistically different. Conclusion: In our hospital, 5% of infants in ROP screening needed a treatment in 2014. It was remarkable that the height of gestational age and birth weight of the infants sent from other hospitals, the presence of requiring vitreo-retinal surgery.

Özet

Amaç: Hastanemizde 2014 yılında prematüre retinopatisi nedeniyle tedavi edilen hastaların sıklığını ve özelliklerini araştırmak. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Bu çalışma geriye dönük olarak yapılmıştır. Çalışmaya Zekai Tahir Burak Kadın Sağlığı Eğitim ve Araştırma Hastanesi'nde, 01 Ocak ila 31 Aralık 2014 tarihleri arasında, prematüre retinopatisi tanısıyla lazer fotokoagulasyon ve/veya intravitreal anti vasküler endotelyal büyüme faktörü (VEGF) ile tedavi edilen infantlar alındı. Hastanemizde doğanlar Grup 1'de (n=49), diğer hastanelerden gönderilenler ise Grup 2'de (n=17) toplandı. Grupların karşılaştırılması için Mann-Whitney U Testi kullanıldı.Bulgular: Toplam 66 infantın 132 gözü prematüre retinopatisi nedeniyle tedavi edildi. Bu infantların 4 tanesinin 8 gözüne (%6.0) önce anti VEGF sonra lazer fotokoagulasyon, 62 tanesinin 124 gözüne (94.0) sadece lazer fotokoagulasyon tedavisi uygulandı. 2014 yılında prematüre retinopatisi taraması yapılan infantlarda tedavi oranı %5 idi. İnfantların ortalama doğum haftası 26.3±2.3, doğum ağırlığı 883±300 gr idi. Grup 1'in ortalama doğum haftası (p=0.07) ve doğum ağırlığı (p=0.01), Grup 2'ye göre anlamlı olarak düşüktü. Prematüre retinopatisinin ilk görüldüğü ortalama postmenstrüel hafta sadece Grup 1 için hesaplandı ve 33.0±1.7 bulundu. Lazer fotokoagulasyonun uygulandığı ortalama postmenstrüel hafta ise 36.8±2.5 idi. Grup 1 ve 2 arasında, lazer fotokoagulasyonun uygulandığı ortalama postmenstrüel hafta (p=0.149) ve ortalama lazer atım sayısı açısından istatiksel fark bulunmadı (p=0.935). Grup 2'de, 3 olguda Evre 4a, bir olguda Zon 3'te traksiyona neden olan Evre 3 saptandı.Sonuç: Hastanemizde 2014 yılında prematüre retinopatisi taraması yapılan infantların %5'i tedaviye ihtiyaç duymuştur. Prematüre retinopatisi tedavisi için diğer hastanelerden gönderilen infantların doğum haftalarının ve doğum ağırlıklarının yüksek çıkması, aralarında vitreo-retinal cerrahi gerektirenlerin bulunması dikkat çekmektedir.
