Evolving outcomes of surgery for retinal detachment in retinopathy of prematurity: the need for a national service in the United Kingdom : An audit of surgery for acute tractional retinal detachment complicating ROP in the UK.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To audit the structural and functional outcomes of surgery for acute tractional retinal detachment due to retinopathy or prematurity between 2004 and 2014 in Oxford UK.

Methods

Consecutive operations were identified from a surgical log. Clinical data including demography, perioperative data, and retinal outcomes were extracted into a spreadsheet and compared against two international data sets referenced in the method section. Nonparametric tests (Fisher's exact, and the Mann-Whitney U-tests) were used for statistical analysis with a p-value < 0.05 considered significant.

Results

Twenty-nine eyes of 19 babies underwent surgery. The mean age (SD) at final follow-up was 6.4 (3.7) years of age and comparable to the reference data sets. The mean birth weight an
