Abstract

Purpose: To determine the frequency and severity of retinopathy of prematurely (ROP) among Singleton and multiple-birth neonates referred to Farabi Eye Hospital, Tehran-Iran. Methods: We reviewed the records of 99 consecutive neonates from multiple-gestation pregnancies including 68 twins, 26 triplets and 5 quadruplets who were screened for ROP during 2002-2004.The frequency, severity and risk factors of ROP were determined. The results were compared with a group of singletons who did not differ from the multiple-birth group regarding birth weight, gestational age, oxygen therapy, respiratory distress syndrome, transfusion, sepsis, phototherapy and gender.Results: ROP was present in 12.1% of multiple-birth neonates compared to 15.1%in singletons (P=0.53). Threshold ROP was present in 6.1%of multiple-birth neonates and 7.1%of singletons (P=0.62). ROP was detected in 60% of quadruplets 9.6% of twins and triplets with threshold disease in 40% of quadruplets compared to 4.2% in twins and triplets. Logistic regression analysis revealed no statistically significant differences in frequency and severity of ROP among subgroups of multiple-gestation pregnancies (P= 0.79).Conclusion: The higher frequency of ROP among multiple-birth neonates is due to lower birth weight and gestational age but there is no significant difference between multiple-births and singletons in terms of frequency and stages of ROP. Screening for ROP in multiple pregnancy births may be conducted according to the same standard protocols as for singletons.
