Purpose: Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is a disease that causes vision loss, vision impairment, and blindness, most frequently manifesting among preterm infants. ROPScore and CHOP ROP (Children's Hospital of Philadelphia ROP) are similar scoring models to predict ROP using risk factors such as postnatal weight gain, birth weight (BW), and gestation age (GA). The purpose of this study was to compare the accuracy and difference between using ROPScore and CHOP ROP for the early prediction of ROP.
Methods: A retrospective study was conducted from January 2009 to December 2019 in China. Patients eligible for enrollment included infants admitted to NICU at ≤32 weeks GA or those with ≤1500 g BW. The sensitivity and specificity of ROPScore and CHOP ROP were analyzed, as well as its suitability as an independent predictor of ROP.
Results: Severe ROP was found in 5.0% of preterm infants. The sensitivity and specificity of the ROPScore test at any stage of ROP was 55.8 and 77.8%, respectively. For severe ROP, the sensitivity and specificity was 50 and 87.0%, respectively. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve for the ROPScore for predicting severe ROP was 0.76. This value was significantly higher than the values for birth weight (0.60), gestational age (0.73), and duration of ventilation (0.63), when each was category measured separately. For the CHOP ROP, it correctly predicted infants who developed type 1 ROP (sensitivity, 100%, specificity, 21.4%).
Conclusions: The CHOP ROP model predicted infants who developed type 1 ROP at a sensitivity of 100% whereas ROPScore had a sensitivity of 55.8%. Therefore, the CHOP ROP model is more suitable for Chinese populations than the ROPScore test.
Clinical Registration Number And Strobe Guidelines: This article was a retrospective cohort study and reported the results of the ROPScore and CHOP ROP algorithms. No results pertaining to interventions on human participants were reported. Thus, registration was not required and this study followed STROBE guidelines.

Reducing Intubations and Related Risks in Neonates with Retinopathy of Prematurity Undergoing Laser Photocoagulation.

Introduction: Although associated with respiratory morbidity, elective endotracheal intubation (ETI) for laser photocoagulation for retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is the standard practice at our institution, with 100% of patients undergoing preoperation ETI. To mitigate this risk, we strove to reduce the percentage of infants intubated for laser photocoagulation by 30% by June 2022.
Methods: We assembled a multidisciplinary team and implemented a deep sedation guideline utilizing dexmedetomidine, fentanyl, and midazolam with noninvasive ventilation support for laser photocoagulation in January 2020.

Article Synopsis
- Cerebral Palsy (CP) patients often suffer from rib-on-pelvis deformity (ROP), leading to complications like pain and impaired breathing and balance, prompting this study to assess HRQOL before and after surgery in those with ROP.
- A retrospective analysis involved 340 nonambulatory CP patients undergoing spinal fusion, finding that ROP patients had significantly worse preoperative HRQOL scores but showed greater improvement post-surgery compared to those without ROP.
- The study concluded that having ROP negatively impacts preoperative HRQOL in CP patients, but these patients experience more substantial benefits following surgical intervention, particularly in areas related to comfort and mobility.
P Score: A Reference Image-Based Clinical Grading Scale for Vascular Change in Retinopathy of Prematurity.
Ophthalmology

Casey Eye Institute, Oregon Health and Science University, Portland, Oregon.
Purpose: The International Classification of Retinopathy of Prematurity, Third Edition (ICROP3), acknowledged that plus-like retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) vascular changes occurs along a spectrum. Historically, clinician-experts demonstrate variable agreement for plus diagnosis. We developed a 9-photograph reference image set for grading plus-like changes and compared intergrader agreement of the set with standard grading with no plus, preplus, and plus disease.

Purpose: Children's Hospital of Philadelphia retinopathy of prematurity (CHOP ROP) model can be used to predict ROP, a leading cause of childhood blindness, using risk factors such as postnatal weight gain, birth weight (BW), and gestation age (GA). The purpose of this study was to determine the usefulness of the CHOP ROP for the prediction of treatable ROP.

Purpose: To evaluate the effect of changes in institutional peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO) targets, made in response to recent randomized trials, on risk of developing severe retinopathy of prematurity (ROP).
Methods: This study was a secondary analysis of data from 21 North American hospitals during the periods 2006-2012 and 2015-2017. Hospitals were categorized based on whether or not SpO targets were increased between the two study periods.
