“…2,3 The strong associations reported between neonatal diagnoses or therapies and subsequent ROP suggest that severe illness, or an unstable fluctuating hospital course in general, are associated with risk for developing severe ROP. [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14] Standardized illness severity (IS) measurements are widely used to account for variations in neonatal outcomes among hospitals. 15 The Score for Neonatal Acute Physiology (SNAP score) 16 on the first day of life appears associated with development of any ROP 17 and severe ROP.…”

“…Nos EUA, Hussain et al (23) , entre 1989 e 1997, analisaram, retrospectivamente, dados sobre 950 bebês, mostrando que 21,3% apresentaram ROP, mas somente 4,6% desenvolveram ROP estadiamento 3 ou pior e nenhum dos pacientes nascidos com PN >1.000 gramas ou IG >28 semanas necessitaram de intervenção cirúr-gica para a ROP. Esses dados americanos são similares aos observados em nossa instituição, onde 5,3% de todos os bebês triados desenvolveram doença limiar e somente 6 pré-termos (2,3%), com PN >1.000 gramas, necessitaram de tratamento por laser (24) .…”

“…Embora a análise multivariada seja o método de preferência para esses estudos, seus resultados podem ser instáveis em muitas ocasiões pela influência de uma variável sobre as outras (27) . O PN, a IG, o uso do oxigênio e de drogas terapêuticas, como o surfactante e a indometacina, por seu aparecimento direto na maioria dos estudos envolvendo prematuros, pode ocultar a importância de outros fatores clínicos também participantes no desenvolvimento de formas severas da ROP como, por exemplo: sepse, doença da membrana hialina, asfixia perinatal, hemorragia intracraniana, presença de enterocolite necrotisante, entre outras (23,24) .…”
