| Abstract;Purpose: To review the cases of retinopathy of prematurity(ROP) seen during 5 yours through 2001 in our Department and to compare the findings with those in our previous survey during 30 months through 1996. Results: A total of 1,082 babies were treated in the Neonatal Intesive Care Unit(NICU). ROP was present in 14.3% of neonates. The incidence was 16.2% in the previous survey. There was no significant difference the incidence between the two studies. However, the averaged gestational age was shorter and the averaged birthweight was less than those in the previous survey. The incidence of stage 2, 3, 4 and 5 of ROP was 47.1%, 47.1%, 3.9% and 1.9% respectively. Conclusion: There was a higher incidence of severe ROP than in the previous survey. High correlation was present between birthweight and advanced ROP and between birthweight and cases needing treatment. (author abst.) |
