The Association between Gestational Age and Risk for Long Term Ophthalmic Morbidities among Offspring Delivered in Different Preterm Subgroups
Objective: To investigate whether there is a linear association between the degree of prematurity and the risk for long-term ophthalmic morbidity among preterm infants. Study design: A population-based, retrospective cohort study, which included all singleton deliveries occurring between 1991 and 20...

description | Objective: To investigate whether there is a linear association between the degree of prematurity and the risk for long-term ophthalmic morbidity among preterm infants. Study design: A population-based, retrospective cohort study, which included all singleton deliveries occurring between 1991 and 2014 at a single tertiary medical center. All infants were divided into four groups according to gestational age categories: extremely preterm births, very preterm births, moderate to late preterm births and term deliveries (reference group). Hospitalizations of offspring up to 18 years of age involving ophthalmic morbidity were evaluated. Survival curves compared cumulative hospitalizations and regression models controlled for confounding variables. Results: During the study period, 243,363 deliveries met the inclusion criteria. Ophthalmic-related hospitalization rates were lower among children born at term (0.9%) as compared with extremely preterm (3.6%), very preterm (2%), and moderate to late preterm (1.4%) born offspring (p < 0.01; using the chi-square test for trends). The survival curve demonstrated significantly different hospitalization rates between the gestational ages (p < 0.001). The regression demonstrated an independent risk for ophthalmic morbidity among extremely preterm born offspring (adjusted hazard ratio 3.8, confidence interval 1.6–9.2, p < 0.01), as well as very preterm and moderate to late preterm (adjusted hazard ratio 2.2 and 1.5, respectively) as compared with term deliveries. Conclusions: The risk for long-term ophthalmic-related hospitalization of preterm offspring gradually decreases as the gestational age increases. |
