| الوصف: | Purpose: Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is the leading cause of childhood blindness. The aim of our study is to validate the new screening criteria elaborated by the Postnatal Growth and Retinopathy of Prematurity (G-ROP) study group in a monocentric cohort of Italian preterm infants. Methods: We retrospectively applied the G-ROP screening criteria to a cohort of preterm infants born between May 2015 and July 2020 with known birth weight, gestational age, serial weight measurement, and known ROP outcome. Primary outcomes were sensitivity and specificity of ROP detection, especially of treatment requiring ROP. Secondary outcomes were reduction of ophthalmologic examinations and of infants requiring screening. Results: We retrospectively evaluated 595 children and 475 were included in our study. Of them, 119 developed any type ROP, 39 developed type 1 ROP, and 28 underwent treatment. G-ROP criteria predicted 39 of 39 cases of type 1 ROP (100% sensitivity and specificity). Sensitivity and specificity for detection of treated ROP were 100%. Considering any type ROP detection, sensitivity was 87.4% and specificity was 100%. Our analysis showed that screening could be avoided in 50% of patients, resulting in a 29% reduction of the number of examinations. Conclusions: Our study validates the new G-ROP screening protocol in a monocentric cohort of premature infants. We demonstrate that all Type 1 ROP and requiring treatment ROP could be found even with a reduction of eye examinations. |
