PURPOSE: Evaluation of different and partially contradictory guidelines for screening for retinopathy of prematurity published in Germany.
PATIENTS: The data on 1219 preterm infants examined in Bern (n = 900) and Berlin (n = 319) were analyzed. A total of 680 preterm infants (56%) had a birth weight below 1500 g. The remaining infants were examined because oxygen had to be supplied or surgery done before or around the estimated delivery time.
RESULTS: Stage 3 retinopathy was found in 88/1219 (7.2%) preterm infants. Only 5/88 infants weighed more than 1500 g at birth. Three of these infants had a birth weight below 2000 g and needed supplemental oxygen for a prolonged period of time. The other 2 infants had birth weights of more than 2000 g and were severely ill. Of 1219 preterm infants, 37 (3%) developed threshold retinopathy (according to the criteria of the multicenter trial); 35/37 infants weighed less than 1230 g at birth. The remaining 2 children (1650 g and 2185 g birth weight) were severely ill.
CONCLUSIONS: Preterm infants should be screened for retinopathy of prematurity: (1) if the birth weight is below 1500 g; (2) if the birth weight is below 2000 g and oxygen supply was necessary for more than 30 days; (3) if infants are very sick or must undergo multiple surgery before term. The first examination should be scheduled for the 6th week postnatal and not before 31 weeks postmenstrual age.
