| Summary: |
Purpose: The
assessment of the epidemiological data of acute-phase of
retinopathy of prematurity (ROP).
Material and methods: Infants with birth weights
less than 1500g and birth dates between April 1, 2002,
and May 30, 2003, admitted to special care baby unit in
Department of Neonatology in Poznan, were examined. The
incidence of retinopathy of prematurity, infants sex,
multiple births, the onset of acute-phase ROP (considering
the day of life and postmenstrual age) and also the day
of life, at which the treatment was started, were
analysed.
Results: Among 190 infants enrolled to the study
48,9% were female and 51,1% were male. There were 20,5%
infants from multiple births. In the examined group in
infants with a birth weight under 1250g the incidence of
ROP was 32,6% and in infants with a birth weight above
1250g – 7,4%. The ROP was diagnosed earliest in 4th week
of life, the latest in 12th week of life (mean time of
diagnosis the 8th week of life). The earliest time of
performing the treatment with diode laser was 37th day
of life, the latest – 97th day of life (mean time of
treatment the 67,5th day of life).
Conclusions: Presented epidemiological data may
be helpful in foreseeing the natural history of
acute-phase of ROP in population of Polish premature
infants with a birth weight under 1500g. |
