“…Currently, a baby born at 25 weeks gestation can have more than 70% chance of survival [23]. Small infants are most susceptible to ROP, and it has been reported that the incidence of acute ROP among surviving premature infants who weighed less than 1,000 g at birth was three times that of survivors with birth weights between 1,000 and 1,500 g [24].…”

A disrupted oxygen environment in the retina of severely premature neonates is thought to be a key factor in the development of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP). This review describes our understanding of intraretinal oxygen distribution and consumption in a range of animal models, including species with naturally avascular retinas and models of induced occlusion of the retinal vasculature. The influence of graded systemic hyperoxia on retinal oxygenation is also discussed along with modulation of retinal oxygen metabolism. The differences in retinal oxygenation between developing and mature retinas are also described. Comparisons are made with studies in the monkey retina in order to assess possible similarities in behaviour between rat and human retinas. Pathogenesis mechanism and possible intervention strategies during the diseased processes in ROP are proposed based on our current knowledge.

Background: Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is an important cause of preventable blindness in children. It is a serious and underestimated complication of prematurity treatment among preterm and low-birth weight babies and is preventable cause of blindness unless recognized and treated early. Objective: The objective of this study was to estimate the prevalence of ROP in preterm infants and low-birth weight in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) of a tertiary hospital and to increase the awareness of early screening of ROP among parents and doctors. Materials and Methods: A ROP prospective screening survey was performed enrolling all prematures and low-birth-weight Neonates delivered at Index Medical College Hospital & Research Centre from July 2018 to June 2021, with a gestational age of 37 weeks or less at birth and a birth weight of 1700 g or less. One Hundred and Eighty Six(186) preterm infants (i.e.372 eyes) were included for ROP screening .Out of these 186 preterm infants (372eyes), Forty eight (48)preterm infants (i.e.96 eyes) developed Retinopathy of Prematurity. Descriptive statistics included the mean and standard deviation for numerical variables, and the percentage of different categories for categorical variables.

“…In studies of very low-birthweight infants, blindness has been reported in 3% of infants born weighing less than 1,000 g (Hoskins, Elliot, Shennan, Skidmore, & Keith, 1983;Yu et al, 1992) and in 1.2% of infants born weighing 1,000 to 1,500 g, all but one of whom received ventilatory assistance (Campbell et al, 1983). Another investigation reported a 20% incidence of ROP, 9% of whom were diagnosed with Grade V, and one of whom (< 1%) progressed to blindness.…”

The classification of conditions originating in the perinatal period, leading to the International Classification of Diseases, ninth revision (ICD-9), codes for diseases and disorders, are likely to catch patients off guard.Pregnancy, labor, and delivery are not disease states and are usually normal, natural events in the lives of childbearing women. Otherwise healthy women and their families expect (as they should, given the statistics) that all stages will occur without problems, although not without some effort and discomfort. Therefore, in the minority of cases in which perinatal events do seriously affect the outcome of the newborn infant, women and their families experience a generally unanticipated crisis that may center around a critically ill neonate or a long-term illness or disability. Health psychologists can be helpful to families through research on best practices, by providing assessments and interventions for neonates and through support and counseling during and after the family's crisis.This chapter provides an overview of some of the most common maternal conditions associated with adverse neonatal outcomes. A few neonatal problem areas in which health psychologists can be most helpful to 483
