Abstract:Objective To analyze the results and clinical characteristics of RetCam3 screening for retinopathy of prematurity (ROP). Methods This retrospective study included 152 cases (304 eyes) of premature infants who used RetCam 3 screening from February 2014 to February 2016. Among them 43 eyes suffered from ROP. Results In the 43 eyes (43/304) who had ROP, 33 eyes were diagnosed as stage I ROP, 6 eyes were stage II ROP, 4 eyes were stage III ROP. There was no stage IV or V ROP. The incidence of binocular ROP was significantly higher than that of monocular ROP (P < 0.05), the incidence of ROP in twins was higher than that in single babies (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in ROP incidence between boys and girls, or between test-tube babies and natural babies (P > 0.05). 90% of ROP achieved normal retina without treatment. Conclusions Early inspection using RetCam3 screening, early detection and early treatment are of importance in preventing blinding caused by retinopathy of prematurity.
