Ocular complications following treatment in the Postnatal Growth and Retinopathy of Prematurity (G-ROP) Study.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To determine the prevalence of treatment-related ocular complications and disease progression following treatment for retinopathy of prematurity (ROP).

Methods

This was a retrospective cohort study of eyes treated for ROP at 29 North American neonatal intensive care units in the Postnatal Growth and ROP (G-ROP) Study. Data from the time of treatment through 15 months were abstracted from medical records by certified data collectors. Treatment-related complication (cataract, hyphema, glaucoma, corneal abrasion/opacity), and disease-progression (retinal fold, dragging, or stage 4 or 5 detachment) were calculated by treatment modality. Vitreous hemorrhage was classified separately, because it can relate to treatment or disease progression.

Results

Of 7,483 infant
