Screening for retinopathy of prematurity. Abstract Text:

AIM: A cross sectional (prevalence) study was performed to assess the usefulness and sensitivity of commonly employed criteria to identify infants for routine ophthalmoscopic screening for retinopathy of prematurity (ROP). METHODS: At a tertiary care centre between 1 January 1992 and 30 June 1998, experienced vitreoretinal specialists screened 438 premature infants for ROP. Retinal maturity and the presence of ROP were determined by indirect ophthalmoscopic examinations. RESULTS: Of the eligible infants surviving 28 days, 276 (91.7%) of 301 infants with birth weights
