EXTENDED REPORT Refraction and keratometry in 40 week old premature (corrected age) and term infants
Aim: To compare refraction and keratometry readings between premature and term babies at 40 weeks’ postconceptional age (PCA), and the possible effect of birth weight (BW) and gestational age (GA) on ocular parameters. Methods: 33 preterm babies hospitalised in the neonatal unit between January and March 2002 were matched with 33 term babies born within the same period and hospitalised in the s...

A bnormalities of emmetropisation, resulting most often in myopia, have long been independently associated by numerous authors from nearly every corner of the globe with increasing prematurity, increasing severity of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), and retinal ablative therapy. This topic has also been the subject of an editorial in the BJO in 1997, the substance of which remains true today. ...
متن کاملCord Blood Lipid Profile in Premature, Near-Term and Term Newborn Infants
Introduction: The fetus needs a considerable amount of cholesterol for the development of tissues and organs. Studies have suggested that genetic and environmental factors influence the composition of cord blood lipoproteins. In this study, we aim to assess the effect of gestational age, sex and birth weight on the cord blood lipoproteins. Methods: We collected umbilical cord blood samples fr...
