Abstract:
Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is an ocular disease caused by retinal ophthalmic dysplasia in premature infants,leads to strabismus,amblyopia,cataract,glaucoma,and even blindness,which seriously affects the quality of life of preterm infants.The infant blindness ratio has climbed to 6％-18％,according to figures released by the World Health Organisation.ROP is the primary cause of blindness in children of the world in recent years.But the pathogenesis of ROP is not yet clear.Gestational age,birth weight,oxygen intake,delivery mode,multiple newborns,neonatal respiratory distress syndrome,anemia,blood transfusion,sepsis,infection,hypercapnia,hyperbilirubinemia,maternal prenatal use of a drug are all the risk factors.We reviewed the risk factors and possible mechanism of ROP,in order to offer theoretical support for the study and prevention of ROP in premature infants.
