Incidence and Risk Factors of Retinopathy of Prematurity From 2 Neonatal Intensive Care Units in a Hong Kong Chinese Population.

Purpose: To determine the incidence and risk factors of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) in very low birth weight (VLBW) preterm Chinese infants.

Design: Retrospective review.

Methods: Medical records were reviewed for all neonates screened for ROP between January 2007 and December 2012 in Hong Kong.

Incidence and risk factors for retinopathy of prematurity in multiple gestations: a Chinese population study.

To determine the incidence and risk factors of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) among new-born Chinese infants of multiple gestations.A retrospective review of medical records was performed for all neonates of multiple gestations screened for ROP between January 2007 and December 2012 in 2 neonatal intensive care units in Hong Kong. Screening was offered to very low birth weight (VLBW; ≤1500 g) and/or preterm (gestation ≤32 weeks) neonates using the Royal College of Ophthalmologists ROP guideline and the International Classification of ROP by 3 pediatric ophthalmologists.

Optimal selective laser trabeculoplasty energy for maximal intraocular pressure reduction in open-angle glaucoma.

Purpose: To identify the optimal energy level to be used in selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) for maximal intraocular pressure (IOP) reduction in open-angle glaucoma (OAG) patients.

Patients And Methods: This cohort sequentially recruited OAG subjects in Hong Kong, China during 2011 to 2012. All subjects received a single session of SLT with near confluent spots to 360 degrees of the trabecular meshwork.

Risk factors for retinopathy of prematurity in extremely preterm Chinese infants.

To investigate the incidence and risk factors of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) and Type 1 ROP in extremely preterm Chinese infants. A retrospective review of medical records was performed of all extremely preterm neonates (gestational age, GA≤28 weeks) screened for ROP from 2007 to 2012 at an ophthalmology centre in Hong Kong. Thirty-three maternal and neonatal covariates were analyzed using univariate and multivariate regression analyses for both ROP and Type 1 ROP.

Predictors of success in selective laser trabeculoplasty for normal tension glaucoma.

To determine the predictors of success for selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) in normal tension glaucoma (NTG). This prospective cohort study recruited subjects with unilateral or bilateral NTG on medication. All subjects received a single session of 360° SLT treatment.

Differences in risk factors for retinopathy of prematurity development in paired twins: a Chinese population study.

Purpose: To determine the differences in risk factors for retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) in paired twins.

Methods: A retrospective medical record review was performed for all paired twins screened for ROP between 2007 and 2012. Screening was offered to very low birth weight (≤ 1500 grams) and preterm (≤ 32 weeks) neonates.

Incidence and risk factors for retinopathy of prematurity in extreme low birth weight Chinese infants.

The objective of this study is to determine the incidence and risk factors of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) in extremely low birth weight (ELBW) Chinese infants. A retrospective medical record review of all ELBW (≤1,000 g) neonates screened for ROP from 2007 to 2012 was performed in Hong Kong. ROP screening was conducted at 2 neonatal intensive care units by 3 pediatric ophthalmologists using the Royal College of Ophthalmologists ROP guideline and the International Classification of ROP.

Predictors of success in selective laser trabeculoplasty for chinese open-angle glaucoma.

Aim: To investigate the determinants of success of selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) in Chinese open-angle glaucoma patients.

Methods: This prospective cohort study sequentially recruited Chinese subjects with unilateral or bilateral primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) or normal tension glaucoma (NTG). All subjects received a single session of 360-degree SLT treatment.
