The reported resurgence of retinopathy of prematurity prompted analysis of the prevalence of retinopathy among premature infants born at Christchurch Women's Hospital over a five-year period. Of the 129 surviving very-low-birthweight infants, 65 (50.4%) underwent ocular screening during the review period. Retinopathy was detected in 17.1% (22/129) of surviving infants, or 34% (22/65) of selected infants referred by paediatricians for ocular screening. Five infants had severe or blinding retinopathy and these premature infants were of significantly lower birthweight and born after shorter gestation periods than those found to have no retinopathy. Examination techniques for eyes of premature infants are discussed, and recommendations for screening for retinopathy of prematurity made.
据报道，早产儿视网膜病变有所复发，这促使我们对克赖斯特彻奇女子医院出生的早产儿在五年期间的视网膜病变患病率进行分析。在129名存活的极低出生体重婴儿中，65名（50.4%）在审查期间接受了眼部筛查。在存活婴儿中，17.1%（22/129）被检测出患有视网膜病变，在儿科医生转诊进行眼部筛查的选定婴儿中，这一比例为34%（22/65）。五名婴儿患有严重或致盲性视网膜病变，与未患视网膜病变的婴儿相比，这些早产儿的出生体重显著更低，妊娠期更短。本文讨论了早产儿眼部检查技术，并提出了早产儿视网膜病变筛查建议。
