  • Abstract
  • Look Inside

We evaluated a series of 40 cases with retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) among 217 infants with low-birthweight during the foregoing 21 months in our neonatal intensive care unit.

In the present series, 17 cases showed type I stage 2 of ROP, 19 cases type I stage 3, 1 case mixed stage, and 3 cases type II.

Particular care was needed for cases with a history of tracheal intubation because of idiopathic respi-ratory distress syndrome and apnea, even in infants whose birthweight was between 1,500 and 1,999g. The incidence of ROP was 55%. Cryoretinopexy and/or photocoagulation were performed whenever deemed necessary.

In spite of considerable increase in the incidence of very low birthweight infants during the foregoing 10 years, the incidence of rush or type II ROP re-mained almost stable.

About 50% of mothers who gave birth to low birthweight infants had a history of abortion, imma-ture delivery or some abnormality during pregnancy.

The overall incidence of ROP in this district was 32/13,000 cases (0.25%).
