| Summary: |
Retinopathy of prematurity
is a serious disease which may cause blindness. Modern
laser treatment is effective but must be done in right
time. The aim of the work is to answer the question:
what principles should be used in ophthalmic screening
in Poland. 267 premature newborn with 3rd stage of ROP
treated with laser coagulation were taken into account.
Birth weight of treated children ranged from 490 to 1980
grams, gestation age ranged from 23 to 34 weeks. Laser
photocoagulation was carried out between 25 and 147 days
of life. Analysis of the above data leads to the
following conclusions: compulsory screening for ROP in
Poland should be limited to all children born before or
in 34 week of gestation and children with birth weight
less than 2000 grams; first examination should take
place in the 4th week of life. |
