Results: Acute-phase ROP began to involute at a mean of 38.6 weeks postmenstrual age. In 90% of patients, the ROP began to involute before 44 weeks of ...
متن کاملRetinopathy of prematurity: involution, factors predisposing to retinal detachment, and expected utility of preemptive surgical reintervention.

METHODS The probability of ROP involution and of retinal detachment evolution over time was analyzed in 262 ...

متن کاملRetinopathy of Prematurity
The incidence of ROP varies with birth weight but it has been reported to be approximately 50-70% in infants whose weight is less than 1250g at birth. The more premature the infant, the more likely ROP is to develop [1]. Furthermore, an observational study from United Kingdom found that the birth weight of infants from highly developed countries was 737-763g compared with 903-1527g in less-deve...
متن کاملClassifying retinopathy of prematurity
It is important to classify retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) in each eye, at each screening session. Doing so makes it possible to screen babies consistently and to make decisions about whether further screening is required and when, or whether laser treatment or surgical management is needed. The International Committee for the Classification of ROP1 has classified it using the following crite...
