ABSTRACT
Background:Aim And Objectives:To study the incidence of Retinopathy of Prematurity in Low birth weight Neonates and Preterm who are at high risk, by screening with Binocular Indirect Ophthalmoscope and Ret Cam 3 resulting in early diagnosis and further management of disease will prevent blindness and other complications in children due to ROP. Material And Methods:Prospective Observational study included 60 Newborns (25 female,35 male) with GA <34 weeks and/or birth weight <1750 grams, and GA 34-36 weeks and/or birth weight 1750-2000 grams with risk factor, screened with First Binocular Indirect Ophthalmoscope and then after 30 minutes with Ret Cam 3. Result:Both the techniques are equally effective in detection and staging of Retinopathy of Prematurityscreening.Conclusion:Both techniques give satisfactory results for screening of Retinopathy ofPrematurity and are comparable to each other, both having their own pros and cons.
ABSTRACT
·AIM:To compare the application effect on patients with retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) screened by wide-angle digital retinal imaging system (RetCam) and binocular indirect ophthalmoscope (BIO). ·METHODS:Totally 1624 cases(3248 eyes) of premature infants were detected by RetCam and BIO in our hospital from May 2014 to May 2017. The screening results of ROP and occurrence of adverse events were compared between two checking methods. ·RESULTS: In the 1 624 cases (3248 eyes) of premature infants,196 cases (392 eyes) of premature infants were detected by RetCam and 189 cases (378 eyes) of premature infants were detected by BIO, there was no statistical significance on staging results and partition pathological results between RetCam and BIO (P>0.05). Taking inspection result of BIO as standard, the sensibility, specificity, false positive rate and positive predictive value was 100. 00%, 99. 51%, 3. 57% and 96.43%, respectively. The adverse event rate of RetCam and BIO was 0.18% and 0.22%, respectively, there was no statistical significance (P>0.05). ·CONCLUSION:RetCam and BIO have similar application efficacy for screening ROP, and RetCam could take the place of BIO as the screening method of ROP.
ABSTRACT
This paper introduces the feature of binocular indirect ophthalmoscope and its application in ophthalmologic examination and operation. Compared with direct ophthalmoscope, binocular indirect ophthalmoscope has many special advantages owing to its unique illumination system and principle of formation of image. Most of ocular fundus diseases can be diagnosed correctly by binocular indirect ophthalmoscope. The view is that the inspection technique of binocular indirect ophthalmoscope is the most convenient and predominant in fundus examination, ophthalmology operation and treatment until now, and is of value in use.
