Screening for retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) and the optimum treatment of sight-threatening disease requires detailed understanding of the infants at risk and timely identification. Despite a plethora of guidelines, not all populations and situations are adequately covered, so that what should be preventable visual disability still occurs. This article considers the design of screening guidelines and the possibility of a global guideline, although in certain parts of the world manpower for ROP screening is not available. Algorithms linked to the increase in weight of preterm infants over time may refine the number of babies needing to undergo treatment.
筛查早产儿视网膜病变（ROP）和对威胁视力的疾病进行最佳治疗需要详细了解高危婴儿，并及时发现。尽管有大量的指南，但并非所有的人群和情况都得到了充分的涵盖，因此本应可以预防的视力残疾仍然存在。本文考虑了筛查指南的设计以及制定全球性指南的可能性，尽管在世界上某些地区，ROP 筛查的人力并不充足。随着时间的推移，与早产儿体重增加相关的算法可能会减少需要接受治疗的婴儿数量。
