The aim of this study was to evaluate whether retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) diagnosis was improved or not compared to previously used binocular indirect ophthalmoscopy (BIO). This was a retrospective, uncontrolled, quality improvement project. Records of consecutive premature newborns screened for ROP over two 1-year periods were reviewed. Systemic factors potentially influencing the occurrence of ROP were investigated using uni- and multivariable linear regression followed by stepwise forward regression. ROP screening was performed by ophthalmologists using BIO in 2014, and digital wide-field retinal imaging (Panocam\u2122 pro) in 2019. Records of N = 297 patients were analyzed (N = 159 in 2014 and N = 138 in 2019). The proportion of ROP diagnosed at any stage, over the total number of neonates screened, was significantly higher in 2019 (n = 46\/138, 33.1%) compared to 2014 (n = 11\/159, 6.9%) (p &lt; 0.0001). Most neonates presented with mild forms of ROP during both 1-year periods analyzed. After adjustment for all parameters influencing ROP occurrence, the variables contributing independently to the diagnosis of any stage of ROP were birth weight (p = 0.002), duration of mechanical ventilation (p = 0.028) and wide-field fundus camera-assisted screening (p &lt; 0.001).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Conclusion:<\/strong> After adjusting for many recognized systemic factors influencing the development of ROP, screening by wide-field digital retinal imaging was independently associated with higher ROP detection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What is known:<\/strong> \u2022 No consensus has been reached to replace binocular indirect ophthalmoscopy by retinal imaging for ROP screening. \u2022 Diagnostic accuracy and high sensitivity and specificity has been reported for wide-field digital imaging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What is new:<\/strong> \u2022 The introduction of wide-field imaging for ROP screening in at level-3 reference center was independently associated to higher ROP detection.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Eur J Pediatr. 2023 Jul;182(7):3093-3099<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","class_list":["post-7151","publication","type-publication","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 -
