Introduction: Retinopathy of prematurity is a bilateral dysfunction abnormal retinal vascularization in preterm infants, especially those with very low birth weight. The consequences range from normal vision to blindness. In recent years, the survival rate for extreme group patients has increased 8% 35% middle-income countries, as well its early identification damage and institution appropriate...

Background: The study aimed to examine the incidence and risk factors associated with retinopathy of prematurity at Phramongkutklao Hospital.

Retinopathy of prematurity is a proliferative disorder of the developing retinal blood vessels in preterm infants. The present practice point reviews new information regarding screening and management for retinopathy of prematurity, including the role of risk factors in screening, optimal scheduling for screening examinations, pain management, digital retinal photography and antivascular endoth...

BACKGROUND Dihydroergotamine (DHE) is perceived to be associated with a higher risk of adverse pregnancy events, but it has significantly less vasoconstrictive and uterotonic effects compared with ergotamine, and has demonstrated no teratogenic effect in animals. The objectives of this study were to quantify the risk of major congenital malformations (MCMs), prematurity, low birth weight (LBW),...

Retinopathy of prematurity, formerly known as a retrolental fibroplasia, is a leading cause of infantile blindness worldwide. Retinopathy of prematurity is caused by the failure of central retinal vessels to reach the retinal periphery, creating a nonperfused peripheral retina, resulting in retinal hypoxia, neovascularization, vitreous hemorrhage, vitreoretinal fibrosis, and loss of vision. We ...
