Effects of Breastfeeding and Perinatal Factors on Development of Retinopathy of Prematurity

Objective: Breastfeeding is very important for the development and well-being of an infant. Other perinatal factorsalso influence the well-being of the infant like the method of conception, delivery method and multiple pregnancy. Ouraim in this study is to investigate the effects of these factors on the development of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP).Methods: The records of premature infants who were screened for ROP between 2015 and 2018. Gestational age (GA),birth weight (BW), sex, time spent in neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), assisted reproduction method, method ofdelivery, breastfeeding and multiple births were noted. The presence of ROP, stage and zone of the disease, treatmentfor ROP were recorded.Results: GA and BW were significantly lower and time spent in NICU was significantly longer in infants with ROP(p

Anne Sütü ve Perinatal Faktörlerin Prematüre Retinopatisi Gelişimi Üzerindeki Etkileri

Amaç: Anne sütü, bir bebeğin büyüme ve gelişiminde çok önemli bir yere sahiptir. Yardımcı üreme yöntemleri, doğum şekli ve çoğul gebelik de bebeğin sağlığını etkileyebilen perinatal faktörlerdendir. Bu çalışmadaki amacımız anne sütü, konsepsiyon yöntemi, doğum şekli ve çoğul gebeliğin prematüre retinopatisi (PR) gelişimi üzerindeki etkilerini araştırmaktır. Yöntemler: Prematüre doğum nedeniyle 2015 ve 2018 yılları arasında PR taraması yapılan bebeklerin kayıtları incelendi. Doğum haftası (DH), doğum ağırlığı (DA), yenidoğan yoğun bakım ünitesinde (YDYBÜ) yatış süresi, yardımcı üreme tekniği, doğum şekli, anne sütü alımı ve çoğul gebelik not edildi. Prematüre retinopatisi varlığı, hastalığın zonu ve evresi, tedavi gereksinimi ve gelişen sekeller kayıt edildi. Bulgular: Prematüre retinopatisi saptanan hastalarda DA ve DH diğer hastalara göre anlamlı olarak düşük, YDYBÜ yatış süresi anlamlı olarak daha uzundu (p
