La Retinopatía de la Prematuridad (ROP) es una retinopatía vaso-proliferativa que afecta a los recién nacidos inmaduros cuya etiología es aún desconocida, algunos estudios han sugerido la asociación entre la preeclampsia y ésta patología, por lo que el objetivo hipotético es demostrar si la preeclampsia se relaciona con la incidencia de retinopatía en los recién nacidos prematuros en el Instituto Nacional Materno Perinatal (INMP), para lo cual se realizó un estudio retrospectivo, comparativo longitudinal de casos–control que comprende prematuros de muy bajo peso nacidos entre el 1° de Enero del 2013 al 31 Diciembre del 2014 y que cumplieron con los criterios de inclusión, considerándose 201 pacientes los cuales fueron divididos en dos grupos, uno con antecedentes de haber nacido de madre preeclamptica (estudio) y otro sin este antecedentes (control), ambos grupos fueron ...

Recién nacido prematuro de 26 semanas de edad gestacional, peso 800 gramos, sexo masculino, raza blanca, APGAR (Aspecto, Pulso, Reflejo, Actividad y Respiración) de 5 al minuto y 8 a los cinco minutos. Recibió soporte ventilatorio con cánula binasal por 6 días. La evaluación del fondo de ojo o fundoscopía semanal, fue normal durante la semana 32 a 34 y de la 35 a 37 se hallaron cambios en el fondo de ojo de palidez de la retina periférica con tortuosidad significativa de arterias y venas de retina en ambos ojos. El examen de hemoglobina en sangre solicitado de urgencia fue de 6.5 mg/dl, determinándose el diagnóstico de anemia severa. Se procede a la hospitalización para transfusión sanguínea, la cual se realizó en dos sesiones y se le dio de alta hospitalaria después de 2 días con un dosaje de hemoglobina de 12.5 mg/dl, indicándosele continuar sus controles semanales...

Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP) is a vaso-proliferative retinopathy affecting immature infants whose etiology is stillunknown. Some studies have suggested an association between preeclampsia and this pathology. A study was conducted toshow whether preeclampsia is related to the incidence of retinopathy in preterm infants in the National Maternal and PerinatalInstitute. The retrospective, longitudinal -control comparative cases study involves premature very low birth weight (<1500 g.)And less than 32 weeks, born between January 1, 2013 to December 31, 2014 that met inclusion criteria. 201 patients wereconsidered and they were divided into two groups, one with a history of having been born of preeclamptic mother (studio)and one without this background (control) .Both groups were homogeneous in age, sex, weight. the incidence of ROP in bothgroups were compared, showing some degree of RO...

Objetivo: Determinar la relación entre luminosidad ambiente y retinopatía de la prematuridad en recién nacidos de muy bajo peso al nacer. Metodología: el presente estudio es prospectivo, experimental, longitudinal de tipo cohorte que comprende a todos los prematuros de muy  bajo peso al nacer, nacidos en el año 2018. Se formaron dos grupos de estudio,  uno expuesto a la luz natural del ambiente y otro grupo no expuesto a los que se les cubrió los ojos con antifaz de tela negra. Ambos grupos fueron homogéneos según edad, sexo y peso. Los datos fueron  analizados con pruebas Chi-cuadrado y Mantel-Haenzsel con nivel de confianza del 95%.  Resultados: El 57.6% de los pacientes expuestos y un 24.4% de los pacientes no expuestos desarrollo  retinopatía de la prematuridad sin mostrar diferencia significativa en su incidencia. Sin embargo, cuando se analizó el ...

Objectives. A study was done to demonstrate if the ocular occlusion is related to the incidence of retinopathy in premature infants in the Maternal Perinatal Institute. Materials and methods.The analytical quasi-experimental study, includes all the premature babies of very low weight (<1301 grams.) and less than 32 weeks, born between January 01, 2005 to December 31, 2007. It was considered to be 201 patients who expired with the criteria of incorporation, they were divided in two groups, one of them whom became occlusion both eyes with mask of black fabric (study) and other one without occlusion exposed to the natural light of the environment (control). Results.The ROP’s incident was compared in both groups presenting some ROP’s degree 25 of 97 patients with eyes occluded (25,8 %) and 34 of 104 patients with eyes not occluded (32.7 %). Conclusions. It concludes that the occlusion...

Retinopathy of prematurity is the leading cause of childhood blindness in Peru and in many countries whose survival rate in newborns of very low birth weight has increased, this due to the largest biotech support in the management of intensive care neonatal. It is considered appropriate to review the aspects related to the pathophysiology, multifactorial etiology and epidemiology of this disease. Screening methods used with associated risk factors, the international classification in the diagnosis and current and experimental treatments based on multicenter studies with the respective recommendations are also emphasized. Finally pathological eye is exposed to increased risk of suffering those infants with a history of retinopathy of prematurity.
