New Features in Screening of Retinopathy of Prematurity. Our Experience with New Recommendations for Retinopathy of Prematurity Screening
New Features in Screening of Retinopathy of Prematurity. Our Experience with New Recommendations for Retinopathy of Prematurity Screening
Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is always a serious and sight-threatening condition, and its treatable stages require early detection and adequate treatment. It is necessary to focus on the principles of screening of ROP and recurrences thereof, which occur more often with the onset of intravitreal treatment using anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) agents. In this study, we evaluate the recurrence of ROP after primary treatment with intravitreally administered bevacizumab or ranibizumab, its frequency and timing of occurrence. Also discussed are the rules for screening of ROP, its recurrence and the need for long-term follow-up monitoring of children with any form of ROP.
