Amblyopia risk factors in premature children in the first 3 years of life
Journal of Pediatric Ophthalmology & Strabismus Mar 27, 2019
Hennein L, et al. - Authors evaluated 145 premature infants (gestational age fewer than 37 weeks) were estimated to study the incidence of amblyopia risk factors during the first 3 years of life in cases with retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) vs non-ROP. They recorded 18 vs 19 cases per 1000 person-years of 3-year incidence rates of amblyopia risk factors in the non-ROP vs ROP screened groups, respectively. The prevalence rates were 20% or greater at most time points in the ROP screened group. They noted 11% to 14%, the prevalence rates during the first 18 months which inclined to more than 20% at 24 months and thereafter in the non-ROP screened group. They found astigmatism, the most common amblyopia risk factor in both groups.
