Abstract

Background: Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is a significant cause of preventable premature infant vision loss. Many studies have reported different risk factors depending on the region. In this study, we evaluated the incidence of ROP and associated risk factors in a referral eye hospital in southeastern Iran.

Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study of preterm infants with birth weight (BW)≤2000 g or gestational age (GA)≤34 weeks and infants with GA between 34-37 weeks or GA<37 weeks and BW>2000 g referred by their pediatricians to our center from March 2022 until March 2023.

Results: Totally, 920 infants met the inclusion criteria for the study. The incidence of ROP and ROP requiring treatment was 20.2% and 3.58% respectively. Results of logistic regression analysis showed higher GA and BW as protective factors against ROP occurrence. History of blood transfusion and phototherapy increased ROP development.

Conclusion: Lower GA, lower BW, history of blood transfusion, and phototherapy were associated with ROP development. Phototherapy decreased the need for treatment among ROP patients.

伊朗东南部早产儿视网膜病变的发病率和危险因素：一项回顾性队列研究。

背景：早产儿视网膜病变（ROP）是可预防的早产儿视力丧失的重要原因。许多研究报告了不同地区的不同风险因素。在这项研究中，我们评估了伊朗东南部一家转诊眼科医院的ROP发病率和相关危险因素。方法：对2022年3月至2023年3月期间由儿科医生转诊至本中心的出生体重(BW)≤2000 g或胎龄(GA)≤34周的早产儿以及GA在34-37周或GA2000 g之间的早产儿进行回顾性队列研究。结果：共有920名婴儿符合本研究的纳入标准。ROP和需要治疗的ROP发生率分别为20.2%和3.58%。logistic回归分析结果显示，较高的GA和体重是防止ROP发生的保护因素。输血和光疗史增加了ROP的发展。结论：低GA、低BW、输血史和光疗与ROP的发生有关。光疗降低了ROP患者的治疗需求。
