Abstract

A refined classification of the stages of the retinopathy of prematurity (RLF) based on the experience of over 7500 examinations during the past decade is presented. We have been using the basic elements of this classification since 1972 in order to evaluate the influence of vitamin E on retrolental fibroplasia (RLF). It is our impression that it provides a more accurate clinical method of following the course of the retinopathy and a tool for assessing the factors other than prematurity and hyperoxia that may play a subtle role in the development of RLF.

摘要

本文基于过去十年7500多次检查的经验，提出了早产儿视网膜病变（RLF）各阶段的精细分类。自1972年以来，我们一直在使用这种分类的基本要素，以评估维生素E对晶状体后纤维增生症（RLF）的影响。我们认为，它为跟踪视网膜病变的病程提供了一种更准确的临床方法，也是评估除早产和高氧之外可能在RLF发展中起微妙作用的因素的工具。
