  • Look Inside

We evaluated the incidence and status of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) in our neonatal intensive care unit. Premature infants weighing 2. 500 g or less at birth served as material of the study. The cases were divided into two groups. Group 1 included 142 cases seen during the 3-year period through 1978. Group 2 included 212 cases seen dur-ing a 30-month period through 1988.

There was a tendency for ROP to decrease along with improved neonatal care in recent years.Severe cases of ROP of stage 3 remained stable in its incidence because of an increase in surviving very low weight infants.

We could identify two cardinal contributing fac-tors to the development of ROP : premature state of the retina and the poor systemic condition of the infants.

We utilized the ROP score to describe the general status of ROP. The score included, as variables, the birthweight, gestational period, apgar score, use of oxygen, respiratory distress syndrome and the attack of apnea.
