“…3 We found that 20.1% of those diagnosed with ROP received intervention, which was much higher than 5.8% in a recent nationwide study from the United States. 9 In this study, the proportion of ROP infants receiving treatment increased with lower birth weight. It is known that birth weight is a better predictor of ROP disease severity than gestational age.…”

“…Several epidemiologic studies on the incidence of ROP have been conducted in the United States, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Korea, and Taiwan; however, their outcomes varied greatly between 1.3% and 36.6%. 5–13 The incidence of ROP was noticeably higher in the Asian population. 5–7…”

“…3,14 Since the approval of antivascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) agent use for ROP treatment in 2019, 15 there has been only one report so far regarding the impact of anti-VEGF on the treatment patterns of ROP. 9 With the high number of extremely premature births, an updated assessment of the recent trends in ROP management is imperative.…”

Purpose: To investigate recent trends in the cumulative incidence and treatment patterns of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) in Japan. Methods: A retrospective multi-center cohort was conducted from 2011 to 2020 using the Diagnosis Procedure Combination inpatient database. Preterm newborns with birth weight <2500g were categorized by birth weight. The cumulative incidence of ROP, treatment patterns, and association between treatment and birth weight was investigated. Result: A total of 82,683 preterm infants were identified, of whom 9,335 (11.3%) were diagnosed with ROP. The cumulative incidence of ROP increased by 15% in those with birth weight <500g over the study period. Among the ROP infants, 20.2% received treatment, including laser photocoagulation (94.8%), intravitreal injection (3.8%), or both (1.8%). The proportion receiving laser photocoagulation decreased followed by an increase in intravitreal injection. This shift in intervention pattern was most conspicuous for those with birth weight 750–1249g. The risk ratio of receiving laser and intravitreal injection for those weighing <500g were 24.7 (95% confidence interval, 10.5–58.2) and 28.4 (5.8–138.1), respectively, as compared to infants weighing >1500g. Conclusion: The cumulative incidence of ROP increased in infants with birth weight <500g. A shift from laser photocoagulation to intravitreal injection was observed in the more recent years.
