  • Look Inside

We evaluated the factors related to progression of retinopathy of prematurity in 18 treated severe cases out of 654 infants admitted in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) during a two-year period. Another 18 cases in the series, who were matched for body weight and gestational age, served as control. In the treated group, chronic lung disease was present in 78% and pulmonary heart disease in 28%, as compared with 61% and 11% respectively in the control group. Wilson-Mikity syndrome was present in 33.3% in the treated group and in 5.6% in the control group. The difference was significant. In the treated group, 3 infants died and one showed severe brain damage. The avascular retinal area was more extensive in the treated than in the control group. The findings show that infants with immature eyes and severe respiratory dysfunction tend to show progression of retinopathy of prematurity needing longterm care because of eventual systemic complications.
