Association of the red reflex in newborns with neonatal variables

Abstract: The aim of this study was to investigate the results of the red reflex test and to associate these results with neonatal variables. This descriptive study was conducted with 190 newborns in a public maternity hospital. A total of 187 infants presented no alteration and three presented suspect results. Different shades of reflex color were observed: 50 (26.3%) presented red; 34 (17.9%) orange-red, 92 (48.4%) orange, 11 (5.8%) light yellow and three (1.6%) milky white spots.

“…Embora seja considerado um exame de caráter simples, sua execução merece cautela, uma vez que o profissional necessita verificar atenciosamente as características do reflexo. Sendo fundamental que o examinador conheça a anatomia ocular, acrescente em sua avaliação uma anamnese detalhada sobre características referentes ao nascimento, à história familiar, perinatal e neonatal, os quais podem manter uma estreita relação com as possíveis alterações encontradas 14 .…”

“…Alguns dos aspectos que podem interferir nas colorações do reflexo vermelho são a incidência e intensidade da luz emitida, a pigmentação e estágio de desenvolvimento da retina, a oxigenoterapia, a idade gestacional do recém-nascido, bem como até o próprio posicionamento da criança durante o teste, o que pode interferir na disposição correta do eixo visual 8,14 .…”

“…Early access to diagnosis and correct treatment is essential. 9,13 Although the recommendation is to perform the examination still in the maternity, as soon as they are born, still many babies are discharged without the "eye test". When this occurs, the professional should do it in the first consultation of childcare, preferably before the first 30 days of life.…”

“…Such color variations are grouped into normal, suspect and altered ocular reflex and at each nuance, a code for identification was assigned, such as R1... R9 for red gradients, L1... L12 for gradations in orange and A1... A6 for gradations in yellow. 13 To complement the evaluation of the red reflex test, some variables of maternal and neonatal history were collected in the records: type of delivery, gestational diseases and neonatal factors (APGAR 1 st and 5 th minute, birth weight and gestational age).…”
