Desurmont MG, Bremond-Gignac D, Torchin H, Vacherot B, Jarreau PH, Daruich A. Retinopathy of prematurity detection: a retrospective quality improvement project before-after implementation of retinal digital imaging for screening. Eur J Pediatr 2023:10.1007/s00431-023-04951-z. [PMID: 37076746 DOI: 10.1007/s00431-023-04951-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/24/2023] [Revised: 03/16/2023] [Accepted: 03/24/2023] [Indexed: 04/21/2023]
Abstract
Screening of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) was modified in a level-3 neonatal intensive care unit by the introduction of a wide-field retinal imaging. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) diagnosis was improved or not compared to previously used binocular indirect ophthalmoscopy (BIO). This was a retrospective, uncontrolled, quality improvement project. Records of consecutive premature newborns screened for ROP over two 1-year periods were reviewed. Systemic factors potentially influencing the occurrence of ROP were investigated using uni- and multivariable linear regression followed by stepwise forward regression. ROP screening was performed by ophthalmologists using BIO in 2014, and digital wide-field retinal imaging (Panocam™ pro) in 2019. Records of N = 297 patients were analyzed (N = 159 in 2014 and N = 138 in 2019). The proportion of ROP diagnosed at any stage, over the total number of neonates screened, was significantly higher in 2019 (n = 46/138, 33.1%) compared to 2014 (n = 11/159, 6.9%) (p < 0.0001). Most neonates presented with mild forms of ROP during both 1-year periods analyzed. After adjustment for all parameters influencing ROP occurrence, the variables contributing independently to the diagnosis of any stage of ROP were birth weight (p = 0.002), duration of mechanical ventilation (p = 0.028) and wide-field fundus camera-assisted screening (p < 0.001). CONCLUSION After adjusting for many recognized systemic factors influencing the development of ROP, screening by wide-field digital retinal imaging was independently associated with higher ROP detection. WHAT IS KNOWN • No consensus has been reached to replace binocular indirect ophthalmoscopy by retinal imaging for ROP screening. • Diagnostic accuracy and high sensitivity and specificity has been reported for wide-field digital imaging. WHAT IS NEW • The introduction of wide-field imaging for ROP screening in at level-3 reference center was independently associated to higher ROP detection.

Retinal dystrophy and congenital glaucoma as major causes of vision loss in students attending two institutions for the visually disabled in Tunis city, Tunisia. J Fr Ophtalmol 2014; 37:695-701. [PMID: 25199482 DOI: 10.1016/j.jfo.2014.03.010] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/17/2013] [Revised: 03/12/2014] [Accepted: 03/19/2014] [Indexed: 11/23/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE To assess vision loss, identify affected anatomical sites, determine etiologies and potentially avoidable causes in students attending two institutions for the visually disabled in Tunis city. METHODS A visit for a complete ophthalmological examination was performed. All students attending these schools were recruited in our study. The World Health Organisation Programme for the Prevention of Blindness (WHO/PBL) examination record for children was used. Data was analysed by the SPSS version 17 statistical software. RESULTS A total of 172 students were recruited with mean age of 11.9±3.3 years (between 6 and 18 years). One hundred and thirty-seven (79.6%) were under 16 years. The sex-ratio was 1.17. Ninety students (52.3%) had low vision and eighty-two (47.7%) were blind. We reported retina (29%), whole globe (29%), globe appears normal (11%) and optic nerve (9.8%) as the common sites of ocular abnormalities. Retinal dystrophy (22.7%) and congenital glaucoma (22.7%) were the most reported ocular diseases. The main etiologies were hereditary (54.1%) and unknown (30.8%). Consanguinity was reported in 108 students (62.8%), and fifty-five students (32%) had a positive family history. Overall, 50.5% (87/172) of ocular diseases were potentially treatable or preventable. CONCLUSION Retinal dystrophy and congenital glaucoma were the most common eye diseases. Heredity was the main etiology, and consanguinity was high. To decrease their incidence, awareness of the family members of the risks of consanguinous marriage and appropriate therapy for congenital glaucoma/cataract may significantly improve the child's visual prognosis.

Akçakaya AA, Yaylali SA, Erbil HH, Sadigov F, Aybar A, Aydin N, Akçay G, Acar H, Mesçi C, Yetik H. Screening for retinopathy of prematurity in a tertiary hospital in Istanbul: incidence and risk factors. J Pediatr Ophthalmol Strabismus 2012; 49:21-5. [PMID: 21323244 DOI: 10.3928/01913913-20110208-01] [Citation(s) in RCA: 18] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/18/2010] [Accepted: 12/30/2010] [Indexed: 11/20/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE To study the incidence and risk factors of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) in premature infants examined in a tertiary hospital in Istanbul. METHODS Data of infants screened for ROP from April 2007 to September 2009 were retrospectively reviewed. Possible risk factors and eye examinations were recorded and analyzed using the chi-square test and univariate and multivariate regressions. RESULTS ROP was detected in 177 (34.3%) of the 517 infants enrolled in the study; 64 had mild ROP (77.4%) and 38 had severe ROP (22.6%). The mean gestational age and birth weight of patients who were treated for ROP were 28.6 ± 2.3 and 1,143.5 ± 337.4, respectively. Two of these infants had a gestational age of 32 g or greater and three had a birth weight of 1,500 g or greater. The multivariate regression analyses showed gestational age, birth weight, sepsis, respiratory distress syndrome, and length of oxygen therapy as independent predictors of ROP. CONCLUSION The incidence of ROP observed in this study was higher than that in developed countries and relatively more mature infants were affected. Criteria including gestational age of less than 34 weeks or birth weight of less than 2,000 g would have identified all infants who were at risk.

Early Hum Dev 2006; 82:39-42. [PMID: 16310326 DOI: 10.1016/j.earlhumdev.2005.07.012] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/30/2005] [Revised: 06/08/2005] [Accepted: 07/12/2005] [Indexed: 11/29/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE We assess the incidence of macular changes in ROP patients with retinal hemorrhages. PATIENTS AND METHODS The premature group consisted of 360 children born 32 weeks gestation and/or with weight below 1,500 g. We used the RetCam-120 Digital Retinal Camera to document retinal changes. RESULTS Of the 360 premature infants 241 (67%) had no ROP, and 119 (33%) had ROP. Of the preterm infants with ROP retinal hemorrhages were found in 46 (38%) children. Of the newborns with ROP and with retinal hemorrhages, macular pigmentary changes were found in 3 (6%) patients. Of these 3 patients, the first had pre-threshold ROP, the second threshold ROP and had underwent diode laser photocoagulation, and the third patient had stage 2 ROP. In the patients with pre-threshold and threshold ROP retinal hemorrhages appeared 6 weeks after birth and macular pigmentary changes were found 6 months after birth. In the patient with stage 2 ROP hemorrhages appeared 7-8 weeks after birth and macular pigmentary changes were detected 12 months after birth. CONCLUSIONS Although macular hemorrhages almost always resorb without complications, our study allows the assumption that retinal hemorrhages may cause macular pigmentary changes in the macula, and thus may lead to deprivation amblyopia. Our results may suggest that the presence of the macular pigmentary changes may be related to the hemorrhage and not to the specific therapy or to the disease.
