Plain English summary of protocol
Background and study aims
Babies born prematurely have a very low birth weight. In Turkey, 25,000 very low weight babies are born annually, with around 1000 of them facing the risk of blindness (retinopathy of prematurity (ROP)).
The likelihood of these babies developing ROP is affected by the treatment and follow-up that they receive, along with any complications. We retrospectively reviewed the treatment, follow-up period and treatment complications of 302 premature, low birth weight babies who were examined for ROP at SBÜ Bursa YİEAH ROP between the dates of February 2016 to February 2017, to determine the effects of treatment and complications of ROP and demonstrate that complete rehabilitation can be achieved with strict follow-up and appropriate treatment.
Who can participate?
Premature babies, born between 6 and 35 weeks of gestation
What does the study involve?
There is no direct participation for infants involved in the study. Instead, this is a retrospective review of the treatment, follow-up period and treatment complications of participants.
What are the possible benefits and risks of taking part?
The possible benefit of taking part is that it may help prevent severe vision loss in future premature babies. There are no known risks to participants taking part in this study.
Where is the study run from?
SBU Bursa Yüksek İhtisas Training and Research Hospital, Bursa, Turkey
