Laser-treated retinopathy of prematurity eyes show higher foveal vascular density than term-born infants.

-9.29%
Results
-9.29%
Foveal capillary blood vessel density was about 9% higher in laser-treated eyes than in term-born infants.
n = 298 records
More results

Random-effects meta-analysis in R software computed pooled mean differences (MD) with 95% confidence intervals and heterogeneity (I²).

Similar patterns emerged for foveal DCP vascular density (MDs: -7 to -8%, P < 0.001).

Parafoveal SCP vascular density was higher in term vs. treated groups (MDs: 3-4%, P < 0.001).

More results

Laser-treated eyes had greater foveal thickness than regressed (MD: 35.5 µm, P < 0.001) and untreated retinopathy of prematurity (MD: 26.6 µm, P = 0.004).

Conclusion

OCT angiogropahy enables precise long-term monitoring to stratify visual risk in retinopathy of prematurity.
