ABSTRACT

Objective: To know the associated perinatal retinopathy of prematurity in hospitalized newborns in our institution.
Material and Methods: Retrospective and descriptive. We reviewed the clinical record to capture perinatal history of each newborn younger than 34 weeks and 1750 g born in a period from January 2009 to December 2010 admitted in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. The statistical analysis consisted in Pearson tests and maximum likelihood for chi-square. Odds ratio for variables identified as risk factor.
Results: The associated history,according to maximum likelihood test were: Usage of assisted mechanical ventilation (P = 0.004), birth weight (P = 0.007), blood transfusion (P = 0.013), gestational age (P = 0.04). Gender, respiratory distress syndrome and sepsis, without statistical significance.
Conclusions: The number of retinopathy is high when compared with other jobs. Knowing background with statistical significance will help with determining the cases of early retinopathy, and the possibility of further research jobs in this hospital.
