Abstract:
264 premature infants were examed under indirect ophthalmoscopy from October 1992 to Novermber 1994. We performed clinical analysis and results were obtained as follows. The first examination was performed at 6.3 weeks of life in average, and 35(13.3%) among 264 premature infants were diagnosed as retinopathy of prematurity(ROP). Infants who were diagnosed as ROP were 1432gm on birth weight and 30 weeks of gestational age in average. There were significant difference in the duration of oxygen consumption, birth weight and gestational age between threshold stage of ROP and normal premature in fants(p<0.05). The mean time of course to prethreshold stage was 15 days, and the mean time was 10 days from prethreshold stage to threshold stage.
