1. 1. Short- and Long-Term Follow-Up of Ophthalmological Findings in Preterm Infants and Children

   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Ophtalmology; prematurity; follow-up; retinopathy of prematurity; ROP; infants; children; incidence; screening; refraction; visual acuity; visual fields; Oftalmiatrik; Ophtalmology; Oftalmologi;

   Sammanfattning : In a prospective population-based study in Stockholm County, 1998-2000, the incidence of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) was investigated and was found to be 36% in prematurely-born infants with a birth weight of ≤ 1500 grams. Compared to a study performed ten years ago, the overall incidence was unchanged, but was reduced in “mature” infants and increased in immature ones. LÄS MER

3. 2. Early growth, retinopathy of prematurity and insulin-like growth factors in preterm infants

   Författare :Eva Engström; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :Preterm; ROP; nutrition; growth; growth restriction; IGF-I; IGF-II; IGFBP-3;

   Sammanfattning : Aims:Paper I: To perform measurements of the lower leg length (LLL) in preterm infants, compare and evaluate handling error and precision of two instruments, and estimate the time required to show growth.Paper II-IV: To investigate whether low postnatal levels of serum IGF-I are associated with abnormal retinal vessel development.

4. 3. Retinopathy of Prematurity in Infants Born Before 27 Weeks of Gestation : A National Population-based Study in Sweden During 2004-2007

   Författare :Dordi Austeng; Gerd E. Holmström; Karin B.M. Källen; Uwe W. Ewald; Olav Haugen; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Retinopathy of prematurity; extremely preterm; population-based; epidemiology; treatment; natural history; screening; Ophtalmiatrics; Oftalmiatrik; Ophtalmology; Oftalmiatrik; Pediatrics; Pediatrik; Epidemiology; Epidemiologi;

   Sammanfattning : Background: Improved neonatal care has resulted in an increasing population of surviving infants. Neonatal morbidity in preterm infants is, however, high, and retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is one of the major neonatal morbidities. LÄS MER

5. 4. Growth pattern and nutritional intake as predictors for retinopathy of prematurity

   Författare :Pia Lundgren; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Retinopathy of prematurity; Preterm infant; Birth weight; Risk factor; Nutrition; Weight gain;

   Sammanfattning : Background: Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is a sight-threatening disease that affects extremely preterm and very preterm infants. Approximately 5–10% of infants screened for ROP go on to develop severe ROP that requires treatment. LÄS MER

7. 5. DIGIROP prediction models for severe retinopathy of prematurity

   Författare :Aldina Pivodic; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; preterm birth; retinopathy of prematurity; prediction models; screening; clinical decision support tool;

   Sammanfattning : BACKGROUND: Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), a preventable, potentially blinding eye disease, is primarily diagnosed in extremely preterm infants. Gestational age (GA) and birth weight (BW) are the most prominent risk factors. Routine ROP examinations are performed to identify the low proportion of infants who progress to needing treatment.
