Abstract

Purpose

To determine whether extremely premature infants require screening for retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) if <31 weeks’ postmenstrual age (PMA).

Methods

The medical records of infants born in community hospital settings at <31 weeks’ gestational age (GA) were reviewed retrospectively. Prevalence and progression of ROP in infants born at <24 weeks’ GA were compared with infants born at 24-30 weeks’ GA.

Results

A total of 2,061 records were reviewed: 1,969 infants were born at 24-30 weeks’ GA; 92, at <24 weeks. Infants born <24 weeks’ GA were more likely to develop pre-plus and plus disease or require treatment than infants born 24-30 weeks’ GA (P < 0.0001) and did so earlier (P = 0.0001). Eight infants developed pre-plus or greater ROP <31 weeks’ PMA; 6 were born <24 weeks’ GA. Three infants developed plus disease or required treatment <31 weeks’ PMA, the earliest at 27 and 3/7 weeks.

Conclusions

Clinicians should consider initiating ROP screening examinations before 31 weeks’ PMA, particularly for infants born <24 weeks’ GA and those with lower birth weights.

对极早产儿进行早产儿视网膜病变筛查。

目的：确定极早产儿是否需要进行早产儿视网膜病变（ROP）筛查：结果：共查阅了 2,061 份病历，其中包括共查阅了 2,061 份病历：1,969 名婴儿的出生日期为 24-30 周；92 名婴儿的出生日期为 24-30 周：临床医生应考虑在婴儿出生满 31 周前开始进行 ROP 筛查检查，尤其是出生满 24-30 周的婴儿。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
