To determine the differences in risk factors for retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) in paired twins.
A retrospective medical record review was performed for all paired twins screened for ROP between 2007 and 2012. Screening was offered to very low birth weight (≤ 1500 grams) and preterm (≤ 32 weeks) neonates. Twins 1 and 2 were categorized based on the order of delivery. Maternal and neonatal covariates were analyzed using univariate and multivariate regression analyses for both ROP and Type 1 ROP.
In 34 pairs of Chinese twins, the mean gestational age (GA) was 30.2 ± 2.0 weeks. In Twin 1, smaller GA (OR = 0.44, P = 0.02), higher mean oxygen concentration (OR = 1.34, P = 0.03), presence of thrombocytopenia (OR = 1429.60, P < 0.0001), and intraventricular hemorrhage (OR = 18.67, P = 0.03) were significant risk factors for ROP. For Twin 2, a smaller GA (OR = 0.45, P = 0.03) was the only risk factor. There were no significant risk factors for ROP in Twin 1 or Twin 2 on multivariate analysis.
In Chinese twin pairs, smaller GA was the only common risk factor for ROP while Twin 1 was more susceptible to the postnatal risks for ROP.
确定配对双胞胎中早产儿视网膜病变(ROP)危险因素的差异。
对2007年至2012年间所有接受ROP筛查的配对双胞胎进行回顾性病历审查。对极低出生体重(≤1500克)和早产(≤32周)的新生儿进行筛查。双胞胎1和2根据分娩顺序分类。对ROP和1型ROP的母体和新生儿协变量进行单变量和多变量回归分析。
在34对中国双胞胎中,平均胎龄(GA)为30.2±2.0周。在双胞胎1中,较小的GA(OR = 0.44,P = 0.02)、较高的平均氧浓度(OR = 1.34,P = 0.03)、血小板减少症的存在(OR = 1429.60,P < 0.0001)和脑室内出血(OR = 18.67,P = 0.03)是ROP的显著危险因素。对于双胞胎2,较小的GA(OR = 0.45,P = 0.03)是唯一的危险因素。多变量分析显示,双胞胎1或双胞胎2中ROP均无显著危险因素。
在中国双胞胎中,较小的GA是ROP唯一的共同危险因素,而双胞胎1更容易受到ROP的出生后风险影响。
