- Abstract
Objective: To investigate the incidence of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) and assess risk analysis in infants of birth weight (BW) ≥1500 grams. Material and Methods: Retrospective, single-center, cohort included preterm intensive-care admissions who were screened for ROP between 2010-2019. Exclusion criteria were BW <1500 grams, congenital anomalies, death or postnatal transfers before ROP-screening. Data were extracted for maternal/neonatal characteristics, clinical features, retinopathy's grade--zone, plus-disease and treatment. Multivariate regression analysis determined risk factors for developing retinopathy. Results: ROP incidence was 7.6% in 1431 infants with the largest-one born 2450 grams at 36th gestational weeks (BW between 1500--1599 gr: 17.1%, 1600--1699 gr: 13.8%, 1700--1799 gr: 8.8%, 1800--1899 gr: 8.2%, 1900--1999gr: 2.9%, ≥2000 gr: 1.3%). Small for gestational age (SGA; OR:2.52, 95% CI:1.48-4.30), neonatal resuscitation (OR:3.23, 95% CI:1.87-5.57), low Apgar score (OR:2.08, 95% CI:1.03-4.20), congenital heart disease (OR:2.25, 95% CI:1.38- 3.69), hemodynamic instability (OR:3.67, 95% CI:1.92-7.02), intraventricular hemorrhage (OR:2.86, 95% CI:1.40-5.86) were associated with ROP. In the multivariate logistic regression, prolonged mechanical ventilation (duration >2 days) and oxygen supplement (duration >9 days) were identified as independent risk factors that presented highest odds for retinopathy (OR:8.79, 95% CI: 5.53-13.99 and OR:4.67, 95% CI: 2.26-9.66). Therapy was warranted in 22 (1.5%) neonates (Type-1 ROP in eighteen, aggressive-ROP in four patients). Four infants with BW ≥1800 grams delivered ROP-treatment. Conclusion: ROP incidence is 7.6% and treatment-warranted retinopathy is 1.5% in neonates born ≥1500 grams. Preterm-infants with SGA, neonatal resuscitation, congenital heart disease and hemodynamic instability requiring inotropes, intraventricular hemorrhage and the ones necessitating prolonged mechanical ventilation and oxygen supplement are more likely to develop ROP.
