Filter by:The purpose of the investigators study is to determine the relationship between the length of the eye and the rate of change in eye length at each visit with progression of retinopathy of prematurity.
In this study, we will be evaluating whether premedication with an anesthetic eye drops leads to a decreased sensation of pain when given dilating eye drops prior to eye examinations to evaluate for retinopathy of prematurity in neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) infants.
The primary objective of this multi-center clinical study is to evaluate the validity, reliability, feasibility, safety and relative cost-effectiveness of a retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) telemedicine evaluation system to detect eyes of at-risk babies who meet referral warranted ROP (RW-ROP) criteria and therefore need a diagnostic evaluation by an ophthalmologist experienced in ROP. We shall: 1. Calculate the accuracy, using sensitivity and specificity, of the system to provide remote evaluations when compared with the findings of a "gold standard" indirect ophthalmoscopic examination performed by a Study-certified ophthalmologist, rigorously trained in ROP diagnostic examinations (validity); 2. Determine intra-reader and inter-reader agreement for deciding whether digital images indicate that the eyes of a baby are in need of diagnostic indirect ophthalmoscopy by an ophthalmologist experienced in ROP (reliability); 3. Determine whether imaging evaluation can be achieved for each baby (feasibility); 4. Examine ocular and systemic complications associated with digital imaging and compared with those associated with diagnostic examinations performed by an ophthalmologist (safety); 5. Compare the costs and benefits of adopting a telemedicine retinal imaging system compared to the current cost of indirect ophthalmoscopic examinations (cost-effectiveness).
In premature infants, propranolol (Prop) treatment might suppress continuing neo-vascularization (NV) and decelerate the progression of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) towards its severe stages (III-V), thus avoiding the need of interventions (CRYO and/or LASER photo-coagulation of the ischemic retina and preventing severe ocular sequelae. We therefore plan to prospectively investigate the influence of prop versus placebo in VLBW infants with ROP stage 1 (zone I), with stage 2 or higher (any zone) or with Plus disease, along with close follow up regarding safety of prop administration and its effect on ROP.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether a single intravitreal (into the gel of the eye) injection of Avastin 0.625mg or 0.75mg is equivalent (non-inferior) to treatment with standard of care laser in infants with Type I pre-threshold retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) diagnosed at 30-36 weeks gestational age.
The purpose of this trial was to determine the efficacy and safety of supplemental therapeutic oxygen for infants with prethreshold retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) to reduce the probability of progression to threshold ROP and the need for peripheral retinal ablation.
The primary question to be addressed by this study is: compared with a functional oxygen saturation level (SpO2) of 91-95%, does targeting SpO2 85-89% in extremely preterm infants from birth or soon after, result in a difference in mortality or major disability in survivors by 2 years corrected age (defined as gestational age plus chronological age)?
To compare the severity of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) among treated infants with an untreated control population, matched for gestational age at birth while confirming the dose of rhIGF-1/rhIGFBP-3 is safe and efficacious.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the administration of propranolol is effective in the treatment of the retinopathy of the prematurity.
The purpose of this study is to compare the dilating effect of 0, 1, 2 or 3 drops of mydriatic (pupil dilating) in premature infants undergoing routine retinal (eye) screening exams for Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP).
