“…A morbidade neonatal aumenta na medida em que diminui a idade gestacional e ocorre a presença de fatores de risco tais como hemorragia intraventricular, muito baixo peso ao nascimento, valores baixos do Apgar no quinto minuto, sexo masculino e ausência da terapia surfactante (4) . Devido ao aumento significativo dos índices de sobrevivência destes bebês nas unidades de terapia intensiva neonatais um grande número de estudos tem sido realizado a respeito da qualidade de vida da criança prematura ao longo de sua trajetória de desenvolvimento (5)(6) .…”

Preterm birth is an event that affects the child's healthy development. Several studies have addressed the evaluation of children born preterm and the influence that multiple risk factors have on the course of their development. This study performed a systematic review of the literature from 2000 to 2005 about the evaluation of the development of children born preterm until the age of 24 months. The biological risk factors were present in every study, with highlights on intraventricular hemorrhage, necrotizing enterocolitis, chronic pulmonary disease, and retardation of intrauterine development as the most studied risks. The child's motor development was the most studied area. In terms of age, the first evaluations focused on the first six months of life. Neonatal risk, low birth weight, baby boys, cerebral injuries, and first-week abnormal spontaneous movements were predicting factors of preterm child development at the age of two years.

“…Awareness of participants regarding the timing of screening and the treatment of ROP careful anamnesis with a focus on maternal and neonatal risk factors, in addition to family members, with ophthalmological evidence, should be routine, as should the adoption of a known screening test 20. In our study we found that only 56.25% of the Nurses were aware about the risk factors of ROP and 100.0% knew about who should perform the eye exam.…”

Introduction: Retinopathy of prematurity is a bilateral dysfunction of abnormal retinal vascularization in preterm infants, especially those with very low birth weight. The consequences range from normal vision to blindness. In recent years, the survival rate for the extreme group of patients with prematurity has increased from 8% to 35% in middle-income countries, as well as its early identification of retinal damage and institution of appropriate treatment to prevent blindness and provide children with better overall development. The natural evolution of the disease generates a high social and financial cost for the entire community, since in its more advanced stages it causes severe and irreversible damage to vision, also impairing the entire cognitive and psychomotor development of the affected child. Objective: The aim of the study was to document the awareness about Retinopathy of Prematurity among nurses working at neonatal intensive care unit of Nampula Central Hospital in Mozambique. Methods: A questionnaire was designed on awareness pattern. The questionnaire included questions about nurses education and experience, knowledge of screening guidelines, risk factors for Retinopathy of Prematurity, diagnose and treatment and it was applied to16 nurses working at neonatal intensive care unit of Nampula Central Hospital in Mozambique. It was a self-administered questionnaire, collected in October 2021. Results: The total number of the sample was 16 nurses, 87.5% were female and 12.5% were male. The mean age of study participants was 35.9 ± 7.3 years old. It was observed that the age of respondents shows predominance towards 40 years and above. Regarding the working experience at the neonatal intensive care, 43.75% of participants ranged from 1-4 years. Among the most cited risk factors; indicated professional to perform the eye exam; timing to perform the eye exam and the indicated treatment for Retinopathy of Prematurity, the following stand out: Low gestational age (56.25%);Retina Specialist(75.0%); Depends of Gestational Age (56.25%) and Cryotherapy alongside with Laser Photocoagulation and surgery (31.25%). Conclusion: The results of the study suggest that most nurses working in the neonatal Intensive care unit services of Nampula Central Hospital were aware about the prevention, diagnose and treatment of Retinopathy of Prematurity. The findings indicate the need for dissemination of information through seminars, workshops and internal educational activities to improve nurses' awareness about the clinical condition.

“…This finding may be based on the fact that the sample consisted predominantly of full term infants who required few days of oxygen. However, in another study (20) where the sample was exclusively of premature NBs, a significant association (p=0.028) was found between the result of the RRT and the duration of oxygen therapy.…”

The aim of this study was to investigate the results of the red reflex test and to associate these results with neonatal variables. This descriptive study was conducted with 190 newborns in a public maternity hospital. A total of 187 infants presented no alteration and three presented suspect results. Different shades of reflex color were observed: 50 (26.3%) presented red; 34 (17.9%) orange-red, 92 (48.4%) orange, 11 (5.8%) light yellow and three (1.6%) milky white spots. Statistically significant associations between the color gradient instrument and neonatal variables were found: weight (p=0.03), gestational age (p=0.019) and oxygen therapy (p=0.024). Nurses trained to practice and evaluate this test may become professionals in the potential for the prevention of childhood blindness. 11 (5,8%) amarelo claro e três (1,6%) com manchas esbranquiçadas. Encontraramse associações estatisticamente significantes entre o instrumento gradiente de cores e variáveis neonatais: peso (p=0,03), idade gestacional (p=0,019) e oxigenoterapia (p=0,024). Enfermeiros capacitados para prática e avaliação desse teste podem se tornar profissionais em potencial para a prevenção da cegueira infantil.Descritores: Saúde Ocular; Cegueira; Enfermagem Pediátrica; Triagem Neonatal. Asociación del reflejo rojo con variables neonatales en recién nacidosSe objetivó investigar el resultado de la prueba del reflejo rojo, conocido como prueba del ojito, y asociar las impresiones del reflejo con variables neonatales. Se trata de un estudio descriptivo, cuantitativo, realizado con 190 recién nacidos de una maternidad pública; de los cuales 187 presentaron resultados no alterados y tres sospechosos. Se observaron diferentes matices de coloración del reflejo: en 50 (26,3%) se presentó rojo; 34 (17,9%) naranja rojizo; 92 (48,4%) anaranjado; 11 (5,8%) amarillo claro y tres (1,6%) con manchas blanquecinas. Se encontraron asociaciones estadísticamente significativas entre el instrumento gradiente de colores y las variables neonatales: peso (p=0,03), edad de gestación (p=0,019) y oxigenoterapia (p=0,024). Enfermeros capacitados para la práctica y evaluación de esa prueba pueden tornarse profesionales en potencial para la prevención de la ceguera infantil.
