Özet
Purpose: To investigate the relationship between the development of corrected 1-year-old refraction values and risk factors in preterm infants who underwent laser photocoagulation (LPC) therapy for retinopathy of prematurity (ROP). Methods: The ophthalmic examination findings of preterm neonates who had developed Type I ROP and received LPC therapy were evaluated retrospectively. The association between spherical equivalent (SE) values and clinical findings were analyzed by using multivariable linear regression analysis. Results: The study included 157 eyes of 80 neonates with a mean birth week of 27.1 ± 2.2 weeks (23 to 32 weeks) and a mean birth weight of 995 ± 273 g (565 to 1760 g). The treatments were administered on an average of 36.8 ± 2.7 (32 to 45 weeks) postmenstrual age. LPC treatment was applied bilaterally to 77 of the 80 neonates included in the study, and unilaterally to 3 of them. The mean ± standard deviation of the SE value was 0.31 ± 1.89 diopters (D) (− 8.00 to 4.63 D) according to the results of the 1-year corrected age refraction examination. In univariate analysis, no significant association between GA, BW, and ROP zone and SE value, while the number of laser spots (ß = − 0.27 ± 0.00 D, p = 0.00) and stage 3 ROP (ß = − 0.29 ± 0.37 D, p = 0.00) were significantly associated with the SE value. In multivariable linear regression analysis, a significant association between number of laser spot, stage 3 ROP and SE value (ß = − 0.25 ± 0.00 D, p = 0.01 for number of laser spot, ß = − 0.28 ± 0.36 D, p = 0.00 for stage 3 ROP). Conclusion: In conclusion, this study supports that stage of ROP and the number of laser spots count applied in photocoagulation treatment for ROP is significantly correlated with degree of myopia (p < 0.05).
