Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is a complex disease characterized by an aberrant developmental retinal angiogenesis in preterm infants and can carry significant visual morbidity, including retinal detachment and blindness. Though large scale, randomized clinical trials have improved our understanding of the pathophysiology and progression of the disease, the management of ROP remains a challenge for ophthalmologists. This review addresses the up-to-date screening approach, diagnosis, and treatment guidelines for ROP in the US.
早产儿视网膜病变（ROP）是一种复杂的疾病，其特征是早产儿视网膜血管生成异常，可导致严重的视觉损害，包括视网膜脱离和失明。尽管大规模随机临床试验增进了我们对该疾病病理生理学和病程的了解，但ROP的管理对眼科医生来说仍然是一项挑战。这篇综述阐述了美国ROP最新的筛查方法、诊断及治疗指南。
