Abstract

Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) continues to occur in nurseries world-wide because more immature babies are surviving the neonatal period. In order to establish the incidence and severity of this disease at Groote Schuur Hospital, 141 very-low-birth-weight infants were examined; 27 (19.2%) were found to have ROP, and among these 2 (1.56%) had a particularly severe form of the disease. None of the infants required treatment. The incidence and severity of ROP is compared with similar studies, and the monitoring of oxygen therapy and screening of infants is discussed.

摘要

由于越来越多的早产儿在新生儿期存活下来，早产儿视网膜病变（ROP）在世界各地的保育室中仍不断出现。为了确定格罗特·舒尔医院这种疾病的发病率和严重程度，对141名极低出生体重儿进行了检查；发现27例（19.2%）患有ROP，其中2例（1.56%）患有特别严重的疾病形式。没有婴儿需要治疗。将ROP的发病率和严重程度与类似研究进行了比较，并讨论了氧疗监测和婴儿筛查问题。
