Unexpected Occurrence of Retinopathy of Prematurity: Is There a Need for Custom‐Made Screening Procedures?

Abstract: Widely differing screening routines for retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) are encountered in the literature. Because no standard pattern in the development of retinopathy of prematurity has so far been recognized and substantial differences exist between patient-populations, none of these procedures seem generally applicable. Diverse manifestations of this entity cast doubt upon the usefulness of rigid screening procedures. As illustrated by two cases, some retinas seem to be at risk of developing ROP over a co… Show more

“…Late development of the disease was witnessed twice during our study and although both (described elsewhere 6 ) cases had an exceptional history, the incidence of ROP after the 11th week seems far from negligible from both our and Palmer's data. 1 This poses a practical problem, because most premature infants will have been discharged from the hospital by this time and later screening examinations will have to be carried out either by a local ophthalmologist, who may not be familiar with ROP, or the children have to return to the hospital.…”

“…In mehreren Studien wird beschrieben, dass das Auftreten der retinalen Veränderungen besser mit dem postmenstruellen Alter als mit dem postnatalen Alter korreliert[9,20,28].In der vorliegenden Studie ließ sich dagegen eine bessere Korrelation für das Auftreten eines Stadiums 3 mit dem postnatalen Alter als mit dem postmenstruellen Alter nachweisen. Auch Cats und Tan[8] und Schalij-Delfos et al[33] fanden bei ihren Patienten, dass das Auftreten einer RPM besser mit dem postnatalen Alter als mit dem postmenstruellen Alter korreliert. Betrachtet man nun den Zeitpunkt der Behandlung in Abhängigkeit von der postnatalen Woche, so lässt sich für die Kinder aus dem CBF eine bessere Korrelation mit der Lebenswoche als mit dem postmenstruellen Alter nachweisen.…”
