To comprehensively review the available published literature for cross-linking in the pediatric population.
Review of the literature published in English in PubMed.
Two hundred ten publications were considered. One hundred fifteen were considered relevant to this review.
Studies of cross-linking in pediatric patients are sparse, with relatively short follow-up times, and mostly on small groups of patients. Treatment with cross-linking halts progression of keratoconus in the pediatric population, and early treatment seems to be cost-effective compared with later penetrating keratoplasty. Long-term effects and regression rates remain unclear, and further studies are needed in this population.

儿科患者交联治疗的研究较少,随访时间相对较短,且大多针对小样本患者群体。交联治疗可阻止儿科圆锥角膜患者病情进展,与后期穿透性角膜移植术相比,早期治疗似乎更具成本效益。长期效果和回退率仍不明确,该人群需要进一步研究。
