ROP

07/01/2010 - "Timely screening of premature babies is an important initial step in the management of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) as earlier treatment results in improved visual prognosis. "
01/01/2008 - "With improved survival of very low birth infants in India, Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP) is emerging as a significant problem. "
09/01/1996 - "Retinopathy of prematurity (RoP) has become more common in developed countries with an improvement in survival of very premature infants. "
01/01/1989 - "Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is attracting renewed interest from ophthalmologists and neonatologists because of the improved survival of very low birthweight premature infants, some of whom develop blinding disease. "
01/01/2010 - "Despite new therapeutic approaches have improved the prognosis of newborns with retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), an unfavourable structural and functional outcome still remains high. "

01/01/2010 - "In order to achieve a significant reduction in childhood blindness determined by ROP the current screening and treatment programme needs to be extended to the entire country."
10/01/2012 - "It is projected that without improvement in perinatal medical care that ROP will continue to be a major cause of childhood blindness."
01/01/2006 - "Until then, one can work toward the future, but be thankful now that the rate of blindness from ROP has dropped, thanks to close surveillance, improved understanding of natural history, and a treatment that, while not perfect, is remarkably effective in preserving central vision."
01/01/2005 - "Can ROP blindness be eliminated?"
12/01/1990 - "As the number of children with ROP has not changed appreciably over the last 40 years, while birth rates in the Netherlands have steadily decreased, the incidence of blindness/impaired vision due to ROP has probably increased. "

01/01/1987 - "The authors report their current techniques, which are based on improved understanding of the pathoanatomy and experience with more than 100 cases of retinal detachment in ROP treated with vitreous surgery."
11/01/2015 - "In the present study, closed-closed retinal detachment configuration was noted in almost 80% of the cases with stage 5 ROP, which is probably the reason for the surgical failure in these end-stage cases. "
01/01/2006 - "In the ETROP Study, the outcome of retinal detachment owing to ROP was generally poor. "
08/01/2015 - "But the awareness of ROP increased, the proportion of infants with retinal detachment caused by ROP decreased, and the infants received more timely treatment. "
09/01/2012 - "Patients with a history of threshold ROP are more likely to show abnormal foveal development and have a poorer visual prognosis than other patient groups despite a fundus with no macular dragging, disc dragging, or retinal detachment. "

08/01/2001 - "This study found a significant reduction in the incidence of ROP during the 9 years of the study period, despite a decrease in mean gestational age of and birth weight. "
11/01/2008 - "There was a significant increase in survival of infants with birth weight <1500 g and/or gestational age <32 weeks together with a significant reduction in the number of infants treated for ROP in the Lothian region of southeast Scotland from 1990 to 2004."
01/01/2004 - "Presented epidemiological data may be helpful in foreseeing the natural history of acute-phase of ROP in population of Polish premature infants with a birth weight under 1500g."
08/01/2014 - "The multicenter Telemedicine Approaches to Evaluating Acute-phase ROP (e-ROP) Study is a cohort study of 2000 infants with birth weights <1251 g. "
01/01/2014 - "Gestational age is a better predictor of ROP than birth weight in the twin-paired study."

11/01/2010 - "However, pain scores remained consistently high and appropriate pain relief for ROP screening remains a challenge."
06/01/2011 - "A literature search was performed with MEDLINE (January 1980 to January 2011) and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Issue 1 of 4 (January 2011), to determine the currently available evidence on methods of pain relief for premature infants undergoing ROP examination. "
04/01/2015 - "Efficacy of expressed breast milk in reducing pain during ROP screening--a randomized controlled trial."
11/01/2004 - "In 244 participants in the randomized CRYO-ROP trial and 102 CRYO-ROP participants who did not develop ROP, the Health Utilities Index (HUI) system was used to characterize health status for the following 8 attributes: vision, hearing, speech, ambulation, dexterity, emotion, cognition, and pain. "
09/01/2000 - "Self-reported pain intensity (visual analogue scale [VAS] mean scores) and scores of Bromage relaxation, ambulation, nocturnal sleep pattern, rates of side-effects attributable to the IT drugs, the patients' assessment of the IT ROP v the IT BUP periods of the trial, and the comparative daily cost of IT ROP v IT BUP were recorded.
